Her own ugly and imagined misogyny rants will be remembered some of the most corrosive moments in Oz politics.

That indeed is her only legacy.


She was a women, but irrespective of her gender, she was the most pathetic and divisive Prime Minister Australia has ever had.

Now this isn't the first time in world history this has happened, but interestingly every single time in world history that we have gone past this (400 PPM) level a major extinction event has occurred, every single time.

That would appear just a tad more than illogical.

During the Cambrain period 500 to 800 million years ago, the CO2 level was in the order of 5,000 ppm. Simple "animals" evolved into more complex animals and and fish developed. No extinctions there.

During the Paleozoic Age about 360 to 500 mil years ago, the CO2 dropped from 4,500 to 1,500 ppm. Land plants evolved along with insects and amphibians. No extinctions there. In fact the land plant proliferated due to the high level of CO2.

Then 130 to 300 million years was the coming of the reptiles, mammal birds and flowers. During that period, the CO2 level dropped to our current level for only a brief period around 300 million years ago without any of your "major extinctions".

The "major extinctions" best known is the dinosaurs which was about 65 million years ago due to a large rock and since then we saw the evolution of the great apes, then our ancestors and many new species.

So, I will be interested to hear which species were part of your major extinctions and when, seeing that up to 15 million years ago (not in the "world history as you so incorrectly say) the CO2 level was higher than currently.

I have a concern about climate change which is really caused by a virus called humanity the population of which is exploding exponentially just like a virus.

However such hysterical and nonsensical rantings such as yours, serves only to give fuel to the doubters about misinformation being thrown about.

This exchange should probably live in the Resisting Climate Hysteria thread.

Now that Rudd has retired (Australia sighs with relief) it can be officially declared that Julia Gillard was the worst Prime Minister Australia has ever had, closely followed by Kevin Rudd.
 
The final blub was cringeworthy but worth it to see him go
What a crying shame he ever got so far, good riddance.

Well after his last attempt with a 5% swing to the blue bloods as well as recent events, controversial as they were in a politcal sense ... I reckon it is gonna be a Liberal seat come the by election. Does this mean a, a, a, a, a, a, a (excuse my stutter) a safe passage for the repeal of the carbon tax? Assuming he wins and the numbers in the senate in 6 months time? :confused:

P.S. I would have a go at tapping the Rudd prodigy ;)
 
Gillard felt Rudd would be 'relieved' by losing the prime ministership

That's why on that very night, she held the knife behind her back. :rolleyes:

Julia Gillard says she regrets giving Kevin Rudd "hope" that he had more time in the top job on the night that she deposed him as prime minister.

In an interview to promote her upcoming memoirs, the former prime minister tells Channel Nine that the time she replaced Mr Rudd as prime minister on June 23, 2010, was "very emotional".

"If anything, the reputation I have from that night is one of political brutality," she says. "Actually, in the moment I was hesitant, a conversation went too long, I certainly fed [Mr Rudd] hope. I shouldn't have done that."

Poor Julia. The trauma for her. From ABC News:

"I felt like I'd done everything I possibly could to support and prop Kevin up," she said.

"There had already, in the days before, been some signs that now I was being viewed with suspicion and I just cried because I felt it was just so unfair."

One thing I miss about Labor not being in office is the entertainment,

Former prime minister Kevin Rudd has hit back at his Labor successor Julia Gillard, labelling her new book, My Story, a work of "fiction".
Click to expand...

Western Sydney Labor MP Ed Husic, an outspoken Rudd supporter in all leadership challenges, raised concerns about the number of ALP memoirs and took exception to former foreign minister Bob Carr's vocal rebuttal of claims in Ms Gillard's book that he was lazy in his portfolio.

Mr Husic tweeted: "Bob Carr's in no position to be snippy about claims in other [people's] books - he's written some highly inaccurate stuff himself #stopthebooks."

I know what you mean, but it was so not worth the minimal entertainment value to have them attempting to run the country.
And what is it with all these damn books? There's a world of wonderful literature out there. The last thing I'd want to read are the self-justifying remarks of various politicians.:rolleyes:

Its not as if it was a great period of good governance, in fact the opposite.

Australians want to forget that period not be reminded of it by every new contradictory release.

They keep p@@ing in their own nest.
