Gillard wins leadership after cliffhanger election

[Cermage]

ORGET those three independents and call off any idea of a recount.

The Advertiser can reveal the result of the Abbott versus Gillard leadership contest after the closest election in years.

The winner? Gillard.

Ray Gillard, that is.

The incumbent chairman of Merrylands Bowling Club retained the leadership over challenger Doug Abbott after a 197-115 election win on Sunday.

The club on Oxford St can ``move forward’’ now that Gillard’s survived the closest result in 12 years. That is how long it’s been since he was challenged.

Like his red-headed namesake, Mr Gillard was thankful many voters did not see cause for change.

``I’m pleased they showed confidence in the club and board that has made it so successful over the years,’’ he said. ``The club is showing growth and we’ve gone ahead in leaps and bounds.’‘

With Julia Gillard locked in a battle of negotiating for the federal leadership, could her Merrylands counterpart offer any advice?

``It’s a lot bigger thing running a country compared to a club,’’ Mr Gillard said.

``Her job is something I’d never endeavour to do.’‘

While the defeated Mr Abbott maintained his stance the club could do better with a new leader, he gave a surprise revelation we could never imagine of the Liberal’s Tony.

``I’m a member of the Labor party, it’s just that my name’s Abbott,’’ he said.

That said, it won’t trouble Mr Abbott if his loss proves an omen for the federal election and Tony Abbott can’t gain the support of the independents.

``I hope he doesn’t win,’’ Mr Abbott said.

``I can’t believe how the Australian public fell for him.’’
