	australianpolitics.com: Daily Quote (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Fitzgibbon and the handful of other MPs inclined to publicly defend Latham in recent days have been attributing the fuss to "the silly season".
		For Latham to even begin to imagine, as Fitzgibbon suggests he did, that he could disguise his serious illness from colleagues and staff while attempting to bluff his way through the tsunami period, requires breathtaking arrogance and/or delusion.
		By yesterday, even Fitzgibbon was conceding it might be prudent for caucus members to start considering alternatives, albeit on the grounds of Latham's ill-health.

	FITZGIBBON DESERTS THE COAL INDUSTRY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Member for Hunter, Joel Fitzgibbon, has today deserted the Australian coal industry, despite representing an electorate which probably has more coal mines than any other, said the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Transport and Regional Services, John Anderson.
		I was stunned to hear that Mr Fitzgibbon believes that too much attention has been paid to the coal industry in the release of todays Energy Statement, Mr Anderson said.
		Mr Fitzgibbon was interviewed by journalists this morning on the way into Parliament House, where he said: I think people are right to be suspicious about the apparent bias towards fossil fuels.

	Numbers man hits fork in the Rudd - National - smh.com.au
		JOEL FITZGIBBON, the chief spear carrier for Kevin Rudd's leadership quest, was being targeted last night for demotion from Labor's front bench in tomorrow's caucus ballot.
		Mr Fitzgibbon, the MP for the NSW seat of Hunter, declined to comment, but was said to be confident of keeping his place.
		Mr Fitzgibbon was quoted in the Herald on Monday saying that if Mr Beazley won the leadership spill by a few votes, the internal despair would continue.

	Niner Charlie: The lily gilded? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Kim Beazley and Simon Crean may have followed their fathers into Federal politics, but Joel Fitzgibbon really puts their sterling efforts to shame; working in 'Dad's business' for six years as an electorate officer and then taking over running the shop as the Member for Hunter in 1996.
		This seems to at least imply that Mr Fitzgibbon is qualified in economics, politics and the law, in addition to his trade and TAFE qualifications.
		But in Joel Fitzgibbon's official Parliament House biography it states:

	PM - Senior Labor MPs call for factional truce
		DANA ROBERTSON: But one of Julia Gillard's key backers, Joel Fitzgibbon, says for the party to move on Stephen Conroy has to decide where his future lies.
		JOEL FITZGIBBON: I think Stephen Conroy has to come to his own conclusions about whether playing the dual role of factional warrior and parliamentary leader is sustainable.
		And I'm quite certain that the majority of caucus members don't believe that that dual role is sustainable, or appropriate or conducive to us winning the next federal election.

	Media Centre - The Hon Peter Reith MP - Joel Fitzgibbon Deserves To Be Heard
		The Shadow Minister for Small Business, Joel Fitzgibbon MP has given the Labor Party some good reasons to support the Government's legislation exempting small businesses from unfair dismissal claims by new employees.
		Elsewhere in the interview, Mr Fitzgibbon said that the Labor Party is all about flexibility in the labour market and about jobs growth and growth in the economy.
		Sadly, whatever Mr Fitzgibbon may say, the reality in the ALP is that whenever there is a choice between the union interest or the interest of small business, the former always prevails.

	New Matilda
		Shadow Forestry Minister and Mark Latham’s best mate, Joel Fitzgibbon was nowhere to be seen when his Leader announced the policy and nor was Environment Shadow, Kelvin Thompson.
		Fitzgibbon was given his portfolio because it was thought the amiable and capable Member for Hunter would be able to ‘manage’ the very vocal members from Tasmania within Caucus.
		Months ago Fitzgibbon urged his colleagues to be cautious about locking up Tassie, warning of a possible backlash - his advice was not heeded.

	Gough Whitlam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By that time Whitlam, 87, was increasingly frail and usually appeared in public with a walking stick, but his ability and willingness to make outspoken comments had not diminished, and he spoke frequently in praise of Latham.
		Latham's diaries, however, were published in September 2005, and included a claim that Whitlam had dismissively remarked to Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon that he thought Latham - who had by then resigned as leader - should quit politics altogether.
		Whitlam subsequently claimed that he simply told Fitzgibbon he thought it was "unsustainable" for Latham to stay on as an MP because of his ill-health.

		Mr Fitzgibbon said the current leader had been given "clear air" for two years to convince a sufficient number of voters that he was the best person to lead Labor to the election, but he had failed.
		Mr Fitzgibbon, who sits on the front bench and is said to have his eyes on the treasury portfolio held by Beazley loyalist Wayne Swan, said he supported Mr Rudd because it was in the best interests of the party.
		Mr Fitzgibbon was also a prime mover behind Mr Latham's short-lived, tumultuous time as Labor leader.

		Madden says it's time the union movement fought back and increasing the number of rank and file unionists that Fitzgibbon has to answer to at preselection time is one way to hold him to account.
