LABOR MP Graham Perrett may claim voter support for refusing to countenance a repeat of his own party’s sudden removal of the nation’s prime minister.
But some constituents in his Brisbane seat of Moreton appear to still harbour a hope that local boy Kevin Rudd may one day make a comeback.
Mr Perrett has warned he won’t be party to any move to dump Julia Gillard, and will quit politics and force a byelection if it happens.
The man she ousted last year, and who is said to be plotting a return to the Labor leadership, occupies the neighbouring Brisbane seat of Griffith.
Outside her office in Fairfield, Raine and Horne agent Diane Sims said the electorate “fundamentally did vote for Kevin Rudd” at the 2007 election, and his return would acknowledge it was a poor decision to knife him.
Ms Sims said people in the electorate “who were interested in politics” would welcome a revival for Kevin Rudd, saying “he was entitled to his full term”.
“If it happened to Kevin Rudd they could do it again,” she said.
But Ms Sims’ fellow agent, Cheryl Holland, questioned whether governments should change their leaders so flippantly in mid-term.
Ms Holland agreed it was wrong for Labor to remove Mr Rudd and said it would be wrong for Ms Gillard to face the same fate.
Fairfield Gardens is the same Moreton shopping centre where voters famously harangued Ms Gillard in July after she backflipped on her commitment not to introduce a carbon tax.
Ray Church, a 71-year-old retired businessman from Yeronga, was critical of Mr Perrett for holding the party to ransom, since he was only elected on Green and Democratic Labor Party preferences.
However, he said he was supportive of Mr Perrett’s position because it would bring down the government, which he described as “not really legitimate”.
“It’s a great idea. This country at present is in one hell of a mess,” he said.
“I’m so against the carbon tax and these turncoats Oakeshott and Windsor came in and have given a bad name to independents, because they’re not independent at all.”
Asked if an elected parliament should be entitled to determine its own government, Mr Church said: “I don’t agree with that at all.”
“I’d like to see a new election,” he said.
Mr Perrett was elected last year on the preferences of voters like Yeerongpilly’s Melinda McInturff, 44, who says she voted for the Greens.
Ms McInturff said voters pick their individual members and it’s up to them to elect party leaders.
“I just think they’re making decisions based on what’s best for them, what’s best for their community and best for the nation if they’re in power,” she said.
“It’s really entirely up to them.”
