PRIME Minister Julia Gillard has called a leadership spill for 7pm tonight in an attempt to finish off Kevin Rudd’s political career.
Ms Gillard has demanded the loser of the ballot resign from parliament to resolve Labor’s leadership crisis “once and for all.”
”I believe anybody who enters the ballot tonight should do it on the following condition,” Ms Gillard told Sky News today.
”If you win you are Labor leader. If you lose, you retire from politics.”
Kevin Rudd has announced he will be making a statement at 5pm about tonight’s Labor leadership spill, and will hold a press conference in the caucus room.
