Completely Biased, yesterday:

Rudd would be my next choice [for treasurer after Gillard]. But it'll probably go to some other fucker, thanks to the long happy tradition of Labor shooting itself in the foot.

The Age, early today:

Labor's "glimmer twins" - Wayne Swan and Stephen Smith - are set to get front-line economic jobs today as the Opposition battles to boost its economic credentials.

Mr Swan is favourite to become shadow treasurer, while Mr Smith is expected to go into a mega-portfolio focused on micro-economic reform. This would include responsibility for industry and industrial relations.
