UPDATE Simon Crean, Mark Dreyfus, Bill Shorten and Christine Milne all told the media this sort of shit is a normal way of running a government. Come-in spinners!
We say the announcement of the Federal election date, the arrest of Craig Thomson and the resignation of two cabinet ministers are linked. Linked to the hopeless policy situation the ALP has got itself into.
This is a party now driven by ego and personal interests rather than a defining philosophy or a plan for the future. 'Working families' evolved into 'working smarter' as an increasingly autocratic PM punished those who supported ex-PM Rudd. Interestingly Rudd is where the problems started but for reasons not understood by the party. The real pressure is economic not personalities and Rudd thought he had averted the global financial crisis by spending the national surplus on school libraries and insulation. Unfortunately for the ALP this was at a time books themselves were becoming obsolete. You may laugh but since 2007 pulp and paper were seen as economic saviours by the ALP who had already destroyed most manufacturing in this country. Now China is opening paperless schools that run on computers and 'labour' in the modern world involves a smartphone or tablet. We call it the 'Kodak Effect'. It's also harder to get away with the lies and disinformation that Australian politics has always relied on. It's still school holidays in Tasmania, its quiet because there are no jobs and yet they want us to believe the PM's announcement of the election date, Thomson's arrest and some of the Gillard ministry resigning within days are not connected. The previous attorney general and Rudd-supporter Robert McClelland has also resigned and will not be contesting the September election along with Roxon and Evans. In the press conference today Gillard also admitted a parliamentary secretary had resigned over the governments support for coal seam gas. They know there has been a broad backlash against CSG and yet they think they know what's best for the country. Its Liberal policy from a Labor government that is making Labor irrelevant.
British imperialists imported 85,000 convict slaves and carried-out genocide in lutruwita. Today every adult Tasmanian is represented by 21 parliamentarians. The state is a bankrupt, colonialist basket case. We can publish your original content under the Creative Commons Attribution license. insidetasmania at gmail dot com

We Can Do Better Than Paywall Mainstream Media
Today the World is crippled by debt. Many countries are dictatorships. Corrupt corporations got rich destroying the Earth's climate. Many economies are now unstable. Our current role is exposing Australia's corrupt, self-serving media.
