Lawrence move dismays ALP
"There were a lot of us who thought we were maybe on the back foot when Paul Keating was defending her for a year and maybe we could have had another course, and a lot of people gave her loyalty,"

"Tasmanian ALP backbencher Dick Adams told ABC Radio."She doesn't seem to be able to think that the party was owed anything."

In the gangster mentality of the ALP (as unashamedly reported by the mass media) 'loyalty' is regarded as the chief virtue of an ALP member. That is, assuming that the completely gutless stance of the ALP on the issues of the day (war, immigration) would actually deliver them any success, which it hasnt so far, as Carmen Lawrence has dared to point out.
