Anthony Albanese's bid for the Labor leadership has received a major boost after his left-faction colleague, Tanya Plibersek, pulled out of the race, but he still faces a likely showdown with a right-wing rival for control of the shattered party.
The right-faction leadership contenders would all face considerable problems. Mr Bowen is closely associated with the party's rejected economic platform, including its controversial franking credits policy, while defence spokesman Richard Marles hails from outgoing leader Bill Shorten's Victorian right faction, which orchestrated Labor's unsuccessful election campaign.
However, it had become clear earlier in the day that many in the party's Left were backing Mr Albanese's leadership bid, including frontbenchers Stephen Jones in NSW and Andrew Giles from Victoria. "The dividend issue impacted on people's hip pockets, and some of those, of course, weren't very wealthy people," he told 5AA radio.
Amid accusations that party secretary Noah Carroll kept senior figures in the dark about key research and information, it also emerged the party's tracking polling from Galaxy/YouGov was inaccurate.put Labor's primary vote on a healthy 38 per cent in NSW during the campaign's final week. In the end, it was 35 per cent.
ronmarkh They are not shattered you fools.
They are fools,and could never pose a threat,libs for years,lovely.
Three of the greatest duds and losers in Australian political history...!!!
Anthony is a GREAT LABOR man but TOO nice to combat the LIES of SCOMO & smile in front of the MEDIA!! BOWEN is NO good in front of the MEDIA!! They NEED a NEW CHOICE!!😠😩

Tanya Plibersek considers run for Labor leadership to replace Bill ShortenSenior Labor figures Tanya Plibersek, Chris Bowen and Anthony Albanese are among the contenders to be opposition leader. auspol ausvotes19 Election2019Results Anyone other than Albanese will be a mistake for Labor. Chris bowan would be a good option Ill give AustralianLabor a tip. You need a clean slate with a leader who does not gave Rudd / Gillard / Shorten blood on their hands. Anyone other will give the LNP too much ammunition. Clean yourselves up, get a new 'clean' leader and get our country back on track. auspol

Julia Gillard to back Tanya Plibersek in Labor leadership raceMs Gillard's intervention in the Labor Party leadership contest is the first time she has involved herself in internal politics since she was ousted from the prime ministership in 2013. No surley not Plibersek is clearly the best option. Unless they want to rejuvenate and appeal to those closer to the centre. In which case Jim Chalmers would be the best option. Albanese is a step back. So am I

That’s like being endorsed by the “Grim Reaper”! Tanya Plibersek, with crooked Gillard’s endorsement ensues another Coalition Victory in 3 years time! Talk about sheer arrogance, crooked Labor will never learn! Never trust Labor...!!! I hope Julia Gillard is backing Tanya Plibersek because she's the right person,,not just because she's female!! It must be time for Labor to dump it’s left/right crap. Choose the best candidate to win the next election. If it’s a Plibersek/Albanese team, so be it.
