This was done intentionally by Labor; I believe Jenkins wanted to resign of his own accord, but I think Labor knew it was coming.

They're forming a majority government. This is the perfect opportunity for Labor to lock themselves in until 2013, no questions asked.

you need to learn to count. majority govt requires 76 seats. they have 72. it remains and always will be, MINORITY govt.

LOL here comes the tanties. Grin

interesting days ahead esp if Jenkins decides to quite the house.

remember all you dimwits repeating ad nauseum 'there is 2 years to go'.? THIS is why that is a silly statement. A) it is only 21months at most and B) it is a minority govt which rarely go the distance.

Your delusions are of the grandest scale, Jenkins IS NOT quiting the house, this is a set up, and you still dont get it,soooooooooo funny. Grin

Jenkins did it for Labor. Nothing else. Its a numbers game and now Julia can tell the Poker Machine Senator Wilkie to get stuffed, we don't need you anymore'. She will do anything to stay in power. Cunning as a fox!

I must be thinking of another Jenkins "Speaker of the House". I have been watching his control (or lack thereof) of the Reps since he took office. He is a very major reason the House of Reps is a joke. He has allowed our democracy to be hijacked by incompetents and thugs on both sides of the house

We should not underestimate the ability of Gillard to plot and scheme ahead, especially where her own career is at stake. So no doubt she has a hand in this. Just as she schemed to persistently label Abott as negative in preparation for the next election, so she consistently plots to delay the election.

DISGRACED Queensland Liberal MP Peter Slipper is now expected to take over as parliamentary speaker by shell-shocked Labor and Opposition MPs - in a move that would deliver a little more breathing space to the Gillard Government

If Slipper goes across and Craig stays then Labor won't need Adam Bandit in the lower house but they will still need the Communist Greens in the upper house.

That is possible, but unlikely, tho it would be funny, the rightards would have an even bigger tanty, especially longweeked who's been telling us if that happens Labor are gone,soooooooooooooooooo funny. Grin

ooooooo... I love how they clutch at any little straw....

If Craig is charged, he doesn't go anywhere liar. He needs to be convicted. That's not even close to happening.

Jenkins quitting the house. HAH!! What a good one!

Sorry no, that's not how it works...
To avoid changing the balance of seats, the Speaker and Deputy Speaker are chosen from both sides of the HoR.....

In this case Harry Jenkins was Labor, so the deputy must be chosen from the Opposition.......It's a form of pairing..

Now the Harry's gone, the Opposition bloke Slipper moves up to Speaker, so Labor must choose a deputy...

NUP, the deputy could be GREENS or independent,and Slipper could well resign from the LIBS TODAY as well,which in turn could allow Labor to appoint yet another disgruntled Lib or Nat.
