UPDATE<\/strong><\/em>: Here’s the news story<\/a>. His blue and yellow leadership website<\/a> has launched and I already got got an invite to his “Dave Taylor for leader” facebook<\/span><\/span> group (it looks like he’ll have a strong youth team judging from the names who have joined). For anyone wondering, I don’t intend to get involved with any of the campaigns – none of the rumoured candidates really excite me and I think it will be nice to just observe from the sidelines for a change.<\/p>\n

UPDATE DEUX<\/span>:<\/em><\/strong> I got just got the press release from the launch. Among the interesting tid<\/span>-bits:<\/p>\n

1. The campaign slogan appears to be “A New Way Forward”.<\/p>\n

2. 26 year old Corey Hogan is the leadership campaign manager.<\/p>\n

3. As for Dave’s three pillars of the New ALP? \u201cbusiness friendly, fiscally responsible, and socially progressive.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
