Media Coverage following the Conference

I had some time this morning to examine the media coverage following the National Conference.

The Australian was laughable:

Gillard denies Labor IR policy is anti-business

Janet Albrechtsen: Kev turns Left after all

Paul Kelly: A bizarre blast from the past

Union deals to be 'forced' on bosses

Subsidy plan for energy savers

Editorial: Labor looks for its future in the past


Glenn Milne: PM buoyed as ALP caves in to unions


Yet over at the Daily Telegraph (News Corp again), the stance is somewhat more disjointed:

Rudd in Octopussy's grip (that's Fair Work Australia according to "one employer group". Is that like "the man in the street said"?)

No apologies over preselections: Rudd

Rudd: Uranium policy 'not hypocritical'

Downer dreams of being treasurer (Surely this thought alone will get us elected!)

Business pounds Rudd's plans for the workplace

Like it or not, PM will deliver nuclear power (another election winning topic)

Finally, The Age is more balanced:

Nuclear opposition unites ALP

Rudd defends uranium u-turn

Rudd pitches $300m green home loan plan

Rudd's hijacking of Menzies legacy doomed


How Rudd won the day in party's uranium debate

PM almost confesses he's in strife (Thank you Michelle Gratton, he is, indeed, in strife friends)
