The ALP falling apart

The Australian Labor Party is tearing itself apart. Great political theatre. News.com.au is doing a live update. Developments today include:

Labor hid polls from their own leader so Rudd could be rolled in 2010
A Labor MP has called om the Chief Govt Whip to resign for disloyalty to Gillard
Rudd and Crean discussing a leader-deputy ticket to roll Gillard
Simon Crean has both called on party to unite behind Gillard and also attacked her for “the class warfare politics she has waged”
Labor has backed down and withdrawn their media regulation bills
Crean has now called for a leadership spill and says he will not stand for leader, but will for deputy.

Glorious fun,
