FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Prime Minister Julia Gillard insists she has the strong support of her Labor colleagues.
Speculation is mounting that there could be a partyroom leadership showdown between Ms Gillard and Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd as soon as next week.
But Ms Gillard on Monday insisted she was keeping her focus on the government’s reform agenda.
“I’m getting on with the job with the strong support of my caucus colleagues,” she told reporters in Canberra.
“I’m getting on with my job. Kevin Rudd’s getting on with his.”
Asked repeatedly whether she would discipline or sack Mr Rudd for disloyalty, Ms Gillard refused to give a direct answer.
She pointed out that Mr Rudd had denied some of the apparent instances of his disloyalty, including reportedly sounding out independent MP Andrew Wilkie in November about his support for a change.
Ms Gillard also dodged questions about whether she would call a caucus vote to test her support.
“My focus is on doing what I need to do today as prime minister, to set us up to be the nation we want to be in the future.”
Frontbencher Simon Crean has urged Ms Gillard to have a direct conversation with Mr Rudd and ask him to pledge his loyalty to her leadership.
He said on Monday if the foreign minister can’t be a team player he should quit the frontbench.
Ms Gillard admitted she would prefer not to be faced with a barrage of questions about her leadership and instead be able to focus solely on Monday’s report into school funding.
“Of course I would prefer that the only questions I was being asked today were on the Gonski review,” she told reporters.
“But in circumstances where you are inevitably asked other questions, I am still focusing on doing the job I need to do to keep delivering the big reforms that matter for the future of our country.”
