JULIA Gillard could be forced to an early election if she ‘mishandles’ the deepening crisis over the stood-aside parliamentary Speaker Peter Slipper.
Tasmanian independent Andrew Wilkie yesterday heaped further pressure on the knife-edge government, warning he may support a motion of no confidence.
The government had underestimated “the disgust” of voters over the affair, Mr Wilkie said.
The Prime Minister flew home to Canberra to handle the growing crisis early yesterday, appearing at Manuka Oval in the early afternoon to watch her beloved Western Bulldogs round five AFL clash with Greater Western Sydney.
Mr Slipper remains on his full $323,750 salary package pending the resolution of allegations he misused Cabcharge dockets, which are being investigated by police. He also faces a sexual harassment suit from former staffer James Ashby. Mr Ashby is also on fully-paid leave from his job.

“This started out as a question of Peter Slipper’s character. But is it has become a question of the government’s character,” Mr Wilkie told The Sunday Telegraph.
“If the government mishandles this I wouldn’t rule out supporting a motion of no confidence that could spark an early election. I do think parliaments should run their full term. But I am quite prepared to face my electorate right now.”
If Mr Wilkie was to support a no confidence motion, the government could be forced to the brink with a 74-74 tied vote. The government would only survive if Labor’s deputy Speaker Anna Burke used her casting vote to save the government. Coalition sources said even this would likely to be challenged.
The warning was sounded as one Labor powerbroker conceded the survival of the government was now a “day by day” affair with leadership rumblings again circling the Prime Minister.
