Elsewhere: Will there be another one of those glorious Gillard defeats that make the country better?

Jeremy Sear (or whoever’s now controlling that blog) makes a pithy, pertinent point:

Here’s hoping her Prime Ministership enjoys another great achievement during the ALP National Conference, that of her being rolled by the rest of the ALP on her opposition to marriage equality.

Great things are possible when Julia Gillard is Prime Minister and she doesn’t get her way.

Quite so. Where to begin?
