4:00pm Tuesday

There will either be a health deal today - or Kevin will put the process in place for calling an early election - a double dissolution - over many things and possibly also laced with a referendum on health.

Because the Premiers and he will have exhausted any opportunity to compromise if the end of today arrives and there is no deal.

It is quite amazing that two Premiers are still playing silly parochial games.  These guys (and they are guys) are hanging out for more bribes - pure and simple.  One is doing it because he thinks he is a smart negotiator and the other is doing it because he is dumb enough to follow the first - and he has a different political agenda.

But either way - Kevin will win.  He will win now by using our money to bribe the recalcitrant’s - or he will win later when the people speak.

The ONLY Premier who has come out of this with any real credibility is Kristina Keneally from NSW - she played it to the end and then she gave in - it was a smart and clever game - one that her colleague down south in Mexico should learn from.
