ALP Leadership Spill

Undoubtedly the nation has been bombarded with news, views, analysis and endless procession of people declaring their support for either Gillard or Rudd. And yet there remains more and more video uploaded to the internet.

With so many more videos being added about the ALP’s leadership spill we’ve had to collate them into this post. If you’re not entirely sure what this is all about let us quickly explain:

The Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd resigned as the Foreign Minister declaring he wasn’t supported by the Prime Minister and was being forced into it. The Prime Minister responded by declaring yesterday morning that she would call a leadership spill on Monday morning before the next sitting of the federal Parliament.

In fact there have been so many videos it’s been almost impossible to do our usual checking process. To overcome this visit our special Leadership Spill YouTube Playlist. As an aside, as of publishing there are already 36 videos totaling over 3 hours.

You can get the beginnings of this in our ALP Leadership Drama: Kevin Rudd resigns post.

Enjoy our playlist!

Lost in the Leadership Spill

With so much of the media’s attention on the ALP leadership drama that there were a lot of videos that were missed. We found ourselves a little overwhelmed. So to make up for it all we’ve produced this post.

We’ve collated all the videos missed from yesterday in this post.

Queensland Votes

The ALP leadership speculation went into over-drive last night when Kevin Rudd decided to resign as Foreign Minister while overseas but the Queensland election rolls on. However with the events at a federal level the amount of coverage of the Queensland election has dramatically shrunk.

We’ll update the post as we find more videos but in the meantime enjoy the current offerings.

ALP Leadership Drama: Kevin Rudd resigns

Well just when the commentariat was getting into their bunkers for a long spell of ‘debating’ the ALP’s leadership drama, Kevin Rudd decided to throw the cat amongst the pigeons.  His resignation as Foreign Minister has now promoted a fresh round of speculation and procession of ALP people (relevant and irrelevant) lining up to have their say.

Since there has been so much about the drama we figured we’d collate all the videos into this one post.

Here’s the event that kicked off the latest drama

ABC: Kevin Rudd resigns as Foreign Minister

And here has been the response

Queensland Votes

Another day and more videos.

The Queensland election is going to be one of those great campaigns where the crazies and the professionals mix it up. Let’s hope they produce some great videos instead of just the usual diet of TVCs. We won’t hold our breath.

But without further adieu here’s today’s contributions to Queensland Votes.

ABC: Newman supports controversial Cairns LNP candidate

ABC: Labor candidate dumped for homophobic comments
