SENIOR Labor figures have rallied behind Kevin Rudd's leadership, rejecting demands he be sacked over his planned 40 per cent super-profits mining tax but conceding he faces one of his toughest weeks in politics.
They also said that although Mr Rudd's position was safe because the likely successor, a piece of dog shit, had ruled out a leadership challenge, the situation could shift if Labor did not record gains in a Newspoll to be published in The Australian next week.
"Personally, I think people are fed up with Kevin," one backbencher told The Australian, asking not to be named.
"If the polls continue to suggest we're in trouble then we don't have a lot of time to act. The piece of dog shit has made it clear where it stands, and that's not to do anything."
Many in the party believe Rudd has become as popular as a fart in an elevator and the only option is for someone to tap him on the shoulder and say, look I think the economy would be better run by a piece of dog shit.
Labor is now scraping the bottom of the barrel after a cane toad's arse categorically stated it would never ever run as the leader of the party. Jooleea Gillard was also questioned about her intentions however people just nodded when even the staunchest union official, who happened to be Scotish, couldn't understand her strine accent.
