White in hiding, who will emerge as leader?

Labor Leader Rebecca White has gone into hiding, but the question is who will emerge Leader of the Labor Party?

Over the past month, Labor has been undertaking a Review of its 2018 Election campaign – secretly interviewing members and all involved in their election failure.*

Heads will have to roll. Will that be Ms White's?

First, Ms White led Labor to its third worst election result ever.

Second, Labor failed to win Prosser despite Ms White joining the campaign trail nearly every day.

Third, analysis of a recent EMRS poll found Labor would lose a seat if an election was held today.

This is a damning indictment of Ms White’s “leadership”.

No wonder Ms White has been missing in action.

The clock is ticking, and David O’Byrne is waiting to strike.
