Sayonara, SimonSimon Crean's leadership of the federal Labor Party hangs in
the balance tonight after he was told he had lost the support of the caucus. A number of key powerbrokers told Mr Crean he no longer had the numbers after the left faction deserted his leadership. OPPOSITION Leader Simon Crean had failed to win voter support
because he didn't have the "it" factor, Newspoll head Sol Lebovic
said tonight. He said unless the government collapsed, which was unlikely to happen, Mr Crean had no hope of gaining enough support among Australians to challenge Prime Minister John Howard. Latham, Rudd or Beazley? Matt Price and Michelle Grattan on Lateline were unsure who’s next in line. Methinks Latham and Rudd will be anointed. But they both agree Crean will step down tomorrow. |
