Does Gillard inspire confidence?

Re: Julia Gillard Resignation

I am told she is just sick of it.

I think the feeling is mutual with a large portion of the electorate - let's hope a new leader will listen to the people...

If she has had enough, then she knows a lot more than does the public.(which she should)
Has it all become unmanageable?
Maybe the Budget is the breaker. Or have the independents turned?

She is dead in the water. As Richo said;

"This all amounts to a double bunger for our hapless prime minister. Maybe she could survive one of the Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper scandals, but not both. They ensure that she is permanently engulfed in a bad smell. That odour permeates through her every utterance and every policy announcement. It would appear that no amount of perfumed spray will kill the stench."

gg, it must be immensely satisfying to you that your stirring can conjure up so much response.

Well as good investors all, it will not make a farthing of a difference to the Dow or the US dollar overnight.

Re: 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.

Apperiantly they are going to scrap the NBN too.

Quick start a thread...oh yeah you did that like 12 months ago didn't you.

Oh here's a news flash...Tony Abbott wins the leadership ballot by 1 vote...Slippery Pete's vote.

Perhaps we can get the 2 threads merged.?

Funny that. Richo has been dead in the water for years. His run has finished, the clock has run down and he should retire to the watering hole of his choice and pull his head in. It seems the only people that can't see he has little or no current relevence are him and channel 7. They keep trotting him out and paying him for his two bobs worth of drivel.

As for "the stench of scandal", Johny Howard survived 14 years with the stench of scandal, I'm sure J Gillard can serve out the remainder of her term (subject of course to the proverbial bus and any subsequent bi-election)

My contacts related to me last night that the embarrassing world wide youtube performance by little Billy Shorten was a smokescreen for a move from Shorten and Smith on the leadership of the ALP.

It appears Peter van Onselen agrees.

From the http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/
A publication not known to sensationalise or politicise the news.

The federal Labor Party is once again about to go through a period of leadership instability as speculation mounts about a possible challenge to the Prime Minister just two months after she comfortably dispatched Kevin Rudd's bid to return to the top job.

This time disgruntled MPs aren't only plotting a possible removal of a prime minister. If Julia Gillard goes, so should a number of senior ministers who shielded her from Rudd's challenge the first time around.

Wayne Swan, Stephen Conroy, Nicola Roxon and Tony Burke are just four members of the Cabinet who would find it near impossible to work for Rudd were he again to become prime minister, given what they said about him in February. And there are others.

MP Craig Thomson resigns from Labor party to run as an independent

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/new...-1226341845378

EMBATTLED Labor MP Craig Thomson is set to quit the Australian Labor Party and sit in parliament as an independent.

It is understood that Prime Minister Julia Gillard last night asked him to stand aside. Ms Gillard will hold a press conference this morning in Canberra to make the announcement.

The move comes as Mr Thomson will attempt to distance himself from the government with the potentially damning release of a Fair Work Australia investigation into his alleged misconduct during his time as the Health Services Union boss.

The Daily Telegraph believes Mr Thomson will continue to vote with the Gillard Government and will back any movement to quash any no-confidence motions in the government and the speakership of Peter Slipper, leaving Julia Gillard's narrow grip on power intact.

Gillard on Q&A

Soft questions from a soft audience, Tony Jones has been the only one to have a go.....so far.

Re: Gillard on Q & A

Even the comments the foot of the screen are pathetic boot licking, grovelling rubbish.

This is just a showcase for Gillard to shore up support.

Re: Gillard on Q & A

If she wants more support she needs to get off TV.
Let her Senior ministers have a go.
She is trying to put on a front, "Julia can fix it".
The voters did not elect her, Labor MP's did.
Let the MP's have a go.

Well that was a bloody waste of time.

A Gillard giggle fest of pandering weak questions.

Re: Gillard on Q & A

This little conspiratorial performance between Gillard and the ABC will ensure she fronts up to the electorate at the 2013 election.

BRING IT ON!

Re: Gillard on Q & A

I posit the notion that it is impossible for any media entity, no matter how grovelling, biased etc, to do the P.M. a favour by giving her air-time, no matter how obsequious the interviewer or audience.

Gillard is such a empty-headed fake, that the only service that can be done her is to present her less.

I watched for about 5 minutes, suppressed the urge to throw up, and switched off.

Re: Gillard on Q & A

She is a good actor and should apply for a job in Hollywood.

When talking about the $23 tonne carbon dioxide tax, I was hoping someone would ask her why are we sending 10% of the takings to the United Nations Climate Change Committee of which K.Rudd is a member.
