Unions use Work Choices tactics to push for Rann departure
Source: The Australian

THE trade union movement in South Australia is adopting the anti-Work Choices campaign strategy used against John Howard to pressure Labor to dump Mike Rann as leader.
But the long-serving South Australian Premier, who in the latest Newspoll was more unpopular than Kristina Keneally in NSW and is now the nation's least popular premier, told The Australian that Labor MPs should not be panicked into changing leaders because of one opinion poll.

"I have my colleagues' support -- if people are panicked about a bad poll then they're in the wrong game," Mr Rann said.

Right heavyweights had to balance giving their candidates experience in senior roles while not allowing Mr Rann to stay on too long and poison the electorate, the source said.
