His letter of resignation arrived late this afternoon, just as he was holding his Washington press conference.

In any case, he is trying to be as loyal to her as she was always to him.
He's done this to take her by surprise. He's succeeded. I don't think anyone in Australia was expecting this - and he timed his resignation so it would be announced just before the evening news in Australia - a news cycle that Gillard had been carefully setting up as a show of her strength suddenly became all about him.
I don’t care which one of these loosers leads the Labor party.
I just want their title to be Leader of the Opposition.
