Actor
Russell Crowe has thrown his celebrity weight behind
Anthony Albanese MP as leader of the
Labor Party.
Albanese sat with Crowe and his sons at the Friday South Sydney Vs Melbourne footie match at the
ANZ Stadium and were often deep in conversation. Russell has previously tweeted his support for PM
Julia Gillard when she was under a media attack.
Both Crowe and Albanese have been life long South Sydney supporters. But will Albanese have a challenge for the leadership on his hands with the MP for the South Sydney area, former health minister the very popular
Tanya Plibersek ?. The
Shuttle's political spy disguised as a polling booth says Labor are reluctant to take on another female leader at present after the "Gillard experiment" which they believe demonstrated that the media wasn't ready for a female leader.
Meanwhile on Facebook, twitter and much of the social media, Liberal Party supporters, having had their dream fulfilled are actively pondering upon whether
Malcolm Turnbull can be drafted into the top job.
