Something to look forward to...

ALP image could get worse: MP - National - theage.com.au

...frontbencher Stephen Smith lashed out at internal critics of the Opposition Leader, suggesting the damage they had inflicted was not yet over.

"I won't be surprised in two weeks' time if it is just as bad or even worse," he said.

Sounds sensible, but for that matter I don't really understand the Labor fear of having the PM chose his own ministers. I guess that undermines factional power, and power is what its all about after all.
