At last some good news out of Labor Party! But is it only good news for the time being?

Good news!...No, I mean Great News:

Karl Bitar the ALP National Secretary & one of the main architects of the disastrous Labor Election Campaign during last year's Federal Elections has announced his resignation from the position. That is great news, for both the Labor Party & Australia!

Karl Bitar (alongside Mark Arbib & the rest of the NSW Right powerbrokers) left NSW in the sorry state that it currently is for greener pastures of the Federal politics a few years ago as the Labor National Secretary (Mark Arbib got himself on top of the Senate ticket from NSW & became a Senator in 2007).

Bitar, Arbib, Shorten & the rest of the so called faceless powerbrokers then advised PM Kevin Rudd in early 2009 to drop his "Greatest moral challenge of our generation", ie his ETS policy & subsequently lost him all credibility, and then proceeded to execute him as we all know.

Amazingly however, Bitar & Arbib arrogantly refused to take any responsibility for Labor's poor showing in the last Federal election & to this day remain unaccountable for their poor track record in NSW & Federal politics.

Therefore it is great news that Bitar is quitting his post! But don't be fooled by his "family reasons" rhetoric. Of course politicians' families do sacrifice a lot & I am not disputing that for a moment, and Karl Bitar's young family are no exeption.

What is worrying about Bitar's resignation is if his real motive is to position himself for a cushy Senate seat or a safe Labor seat in the Lower House in the next Federal election, as Arbib, Bill Shorten, Greg Combet, Doug Cameron & countless other high ranking union officials have done in the past.

So watch this space! If Karl Bitar is simply resigning in order to get into the next Parliament, the news is not as good as it seems on the surface!
