Simply Red

Julia Gillard was indeed let off lightly in Australian Story on the matter of her possible leadership ambitions.

"If the leadership is open in the future, I would make a decision at that time."

So that's that, then. Now all Peter Costello has to do, next time he's being badgered about "ruling out" seeking the leadership of his party, is to repeat this simple formula, which has proved so satisfactory to the ABC on this occasion.

Still, old habits die hard. On this morning's Radio National Breakfast, Fran Kelly simply could not help herself. She described this part of the interview as Gillard "refusing to rule out" a leadership challenge.
