Does Gillard inspire confidence?

Discount dinner with Julia Gillard,

In a sign that business is deserting the ALP, organisers of a fundraising dinner featuring by Julia Gillard and her Cabinet have dramatically cut ticket prices.

The dinner at Melbourne's Sofitel Hotel on April 16 is being advertised as an opportunity to hear the Prime Minister deliver a "keynote'' address outlining her "key policy priorities''.

Business lobbyists were staggered to receive an email yesterday offering a "special individual ticket'' rate of just $495 - after earlier being advised that the "non member'' price was $1500.

Funny that!!!

It always comes to 9! :cautious:

Given the thread title, it should come to 11, I say. :p:
 
Well Sails caught out once again !!

I had considered leaving it with the normal rabid right wing punch line but thought "what the heck" lets live dangerously..:D

It is a tricky joke though. :)

Fair enough, Bas - at least you fessed up...:D
 
It's not only John Howards's fault, there's misogynists everywhere.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard says Australians are still getting used to the idea that she is "not a man in a suit".

She must be having nightmares now about misogynists.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-04/australians-still-not-used-to-a-female-pm-gillard-says/4609954

This too was a doozie,

JULIA Gillard says Australia will continue to run "a sizeable immigration program" as she steers the nation towards a population of more than 40 million by 2050.

The former "big Australia" opponent said she did not anticipate a change in the overall rate of immigration and would not impose population targets, while defending her government's treatment of asylum-seekers.

A sizeable immigration program is a natural consequence of inadequate border control. Somehow, there must be a justification for the hypocrisy in there somewhere. :banghead:

That's three in one day. She must be having even worse nightmares about superannuation.
 
Male PMs in suits have been voted out when the electorate no longer agreed with them - is she looking for special treatment because she isn't a man in a suit?

Does she want the electorate to accept a lower performance standard because she is a woman? Isn't that just an excuse?

That's surely an insult to capable females...:rolleyes:
 
To be honest doc, I think it has gone way past this, the cancelling of the onshore processing near Broome is a huge if not nation changing event.IMO

At the moment Chinese companies are putting fifo camps on massive iron ore mines. Then they are using barges to off load onto ships.
Therefore when they leave there is nothing but a hole in the ground, great for the greens and labor, but how does it help my grandkids?

She inspires confidence in Barry O'Farrell. She has sold him the Gonski.

The impression I had is that she didn't want an agreement at COAG last week.

By setting a June 30 deadline and drawing them out one by one, she draws out the publicity. Her hope is either to draw out all the states by the may sitting of Parliament and legislate or get enough of the states to agree to be able to present it as an election policy.

I suspect that with the June 30 deadline, it's the latter.
