FED:Latham says mid-term Rudd return unlikely

Former Labor leader MARK LATHAM believes a mid-term return to KEVIN RUDD as prime minister
is an unlikely scenario.

There's been speculation JULIA GILLARD might face a challenge from her predecessor
early in the new parliamentary year.

Poor opinion poll numbers for the government and voter dissatisfaction with Ms GILLARD
has some Labor MPs concerned about the party's electoral prospects and last week's ministry
reshuffle has reportedly added to the internal angst within the part.

Mr LATHAM says a mid-term leadership change isn't a viable scenario, because it could
set off a series of resignations leading to the need for a general election.

He's told Sky News such a move is fraught with political difficulties that almost rule it out.
