Will he rule out standing for the leadership of the parliamentary Labor Party before March 2010? The Deputy Premier told local media on 18 November 2008, 'I will not lead. I do not want to lead.' But on 20 October 2008, he qualified his remarks by saying, 'I will never be a candidate for the leader as long as Mike Rann wants to be leader.' However, speculation continues about the Premier's early retirement before 2010. The Hon. K.O.
