I read today of a workplace getting a visit from 2 union heavies, who entered the place yelling "we're back".

What type of workplace i dont know, nor how accurate the story is.

What I hope will happen is that the ALP are able to keep a tight leash on these ugly bullies, if they can do that they'll greatly allay the fears of anyone who is old enough to remember the hawke-keating era. Unfortunately, given Gillard and particularly Combet's histories, i dont like the chances of this.

It'll be a good test of Rudd's strength, if he can withstand the inevitable pressure that those 2 in particular will mount on him, then we might have ourselves a halfway decent leader. The worry though is that he won't be strong enough and will capitulate. then we're in trouble...
