Does Gillard inspire confidence?

[Julia]

Heavens, I flicked through the first 100 of those comments and found only one which demonstrated any trust in her at all.
The rest were full of incredibly virulent hatred, to a much greater degree than I ever heard expressed toward Anna Bligh.

Yes she's not at all popular.....

 

[tigerboi]

ive got confidence that these incompetent fools will get the biggest thrashing

i predict labour/green criminal socialists will be left with 15 or less seats.

never wanted so bad to vote these mongrels out...tb

we should bring in contracts so no carbon tax means by law you cant do it.

I like your tiger-ish views! Alas, I fear this will be what happens after the Coaltion landslide win in the 2013 Federal election. The bill to repeal the carbon tax gets blocked by the Greens in the Senate, helped by the rump of Labor Senators left there.

Then with any luck, we get a double dissolution and the Greens can get back to where they belong - the unemployment office.

Yes, before they send the rest of us there.

It is interesting how the comments have drifted against her over the last year.
So I have doubts in the numbers of today's poll in the Australian, in regards to her being a better PM.
Labor is going to come up with a few tricks in this budget.
Swan is already taking credit for the interest rate decrease next month. This fellow is complete idiot!!

Um, it hasn't happened yet.

Btw, I read somewhere recently that the much vaunted compensation for the carbon tax all ceases when the switch occurs to an ETS. Hopefully they won't still be attempting to run the country by then, but it's certainly a point that they have avoided making clear.

I think this is what will be needed to oust any poison pills Gillard and her minority may have put into HER unwanted legislations.

I suspect Gillard will have used her balance of power in both houses to make carbon tax and other unwanted legislation difficult to repeal.

It was indicated that our interest rate should drop 1% last year. When I posted.
Swan and the RBA have been shadow boxing with the banks.
If there are any brains on the RBA board the rate decrease next month will be 0.50%.

As you mentioned, it has not happened yet. But I have seen Wayne Swan in front of the media, saying because he is going to bring in a surplus next year, the people will be rewarded with a interest rate drop next month.

I nearly spilled my beer watching it.

Hey Klogg - love your high speed fast-forward analysis! However, my legally trained doomsday scenario is based on the glacial pace that these Constuitutional things have to proceed by.

Check out this analysis from one of the climate hippie sites:

My real hope is that the double dissolution WON'T be necessary because the few Labor senators that are left see the writing on the wall, that their beloved Labor Party will go up in smoke LITERALLY if they don't vote to pass the repealing legislation and go to a double dissolution.

Absolute decimation has a real way of concentrating the mind, so I hope the huge kicking they get in the 2013 Federal election will be all that's needed.

Wish my mad optimism luck anyway!

If there is ever a Royal Commision into Fair work Australia which may be extended to the handling of the Craig Thomson affair, perhaps they should go further into the $1,000,000 which Gillard helped her boy friend, at the time Bruce Wilson, rip off from the AWU.

It is also claimed Gillard accepted $57,000 to spend on clothes ($17,000) AND $40,000 to renovate her house in Melbourne.

Please read the link and associated links which lead to the downfall of Glen Milne.

Milne was obviously onto something when he was ultimately gagged.

Julia Gillard Resignation

I have been awoken from a slumber on the verandah of the hotel, in full rush hour traffic here in Townsville by a contact in Sussex St.

The word is about that there will be a "managed" change in the leadership of the Federal ALP.

Apparently Julia is sick of it all.

We do live in interesting times.

I am back to the verandah, the hum of utes is soothing to the ear.

Let us see what eventuates.

GG - are you sure? I don't think Gillard would give in so easily...lol. One thing she seems good at is clinging on to power by her fingernails in a democracy where the majority do not want her.

And, it seems that Kathy Jackson of HSU has been asked to resign. That, on top of Shorten putting the HSU into receivership stinks to high heaven of coverups, imo. Bold is mine:

MEETING of the top brass of the Health Services Union (HSU) has called for national secretary Kathy Jackson to resign.

Outside the meeting in Sydney, acting president Chris Brown said Ms Jackson needed to resign for the good of the union.

"We need to have confidence that a national secretary is in a position to be leading the union in a way we require the national secretary to do so," he said.

How, exactly how do they want a national secretary to lead? Do they mean with blinkers?

I am told she is just sick of it.

Good heavens GG. Managed and ALP don't belong in the same book at the present time, let alone in the same sentence.

If she's just sick of it, I'm sure Kevin Rudd could help.

The Brissie King has been dealt out of succession, according to my contacts.

Well I certanly couldn't blame her for being sick of it, I would be too in her situation (even if a lot of it is self inflicted).

I do not think Bob would consider leading the Federal ALP, I may be wrong.
