Does Gillard inspire confidence?

[noco]

Does anyone on ASF feel sorry for Julia Gillard?

How can one have confidence in a Prime Minister who is so deceitful?

The following is an extract from the above article:

Their secret hope is that the carbon tax falls over before it fries them all. Tony Abbott's plebiscite bill is unlikely to achieve that, but it will keep the spotlight burning on the Prime Minister's broken promise. Right now at least three cabinet ministers hope the tax collapses. They can't dump it without dumping Gillard, so the next best option would be if the Greens and or the independents did their dirty work for them. You could be forgiven for thinking the government was trying to engineer this, first by infuriating the Greens and independents in prematurely announcing a $12 million advertising campaign, and then by offering the same compensation package which the Greens rejected when it was part of Rudd's scheme.

I've suggested this before and no one here has agreed. Interesting to see Nikki Saava raising it. If the Multiparty Committee on Climate Change were unable to agree on the terms of the tax and the compensation, Gillard & Co. could simply say: "Well, we did our best. We really, truly wanted to do something about climate change but the intransigence of the other parties on the Committee prevented this." Thus they could save face and quite possibly restore some of their credibility and popularity in the electorate.

However, it's doubtful that the Greens and the Independents, both of whom have a huge stake in getting this legislation up, will not bend in whatever direction they need to, and it will go ahead.

Nikki Savva was interviewed by Andrew Bolt on MTR this morning. She knows who the three Labor Ministers are who would like to see the carbon dioxide tax fail and one is most likely to be Martin Ferguson.

And when I went looking for the link you couldn't find, I found this on Bolt's blog...

That interview with Nikki Savva got more interesting as it went on.

Nikki commented that Julia is as tough as old boots, has an incredible amount of self belief and that nothing is beyond her. This is negative where that level of self belief becomes asssociated with poor judgement. This I suspect is what has happened with Julis Gillard judging by outcomes, with their ongoing asylum seeker policy being one example.

At least you guys are finally quoting some one of worth Nikki is Coalition through and through but she is thought full and writes well.

There are many decisions where the government suggests they're doing what is right for the general populace. Weighing up where they can take with one hand and give back a little less with the other. There are limitless ways this can be done.

Gee.....

Thanks.

I have a warm fuzzy felling inside knowing that it at least, in part, meets with your approval.

Does anyone really know what this Prime Minister of ours stands for?

I do know one thing, and that is, she does not appear to know what she is doing or does she?

I still believe she has a hidden agenda and it's not good.

I wonder how JU-LIAR sleeps at night. She might have to pop one of Kevies mogadoms before she goes to bed.

Anyone watch Gillard being interviewed on MEET THE PRESS this afternoon or this morning.

Every time Paul Bonjourno tried to ask her a question, she just continued to talk over him like a broken record.

Gillard says she has a long term vision and a plan for Australia and the 'WORKING FAMILIES', but when you open the book it is full of blank pages. She never elaborates; just full of spin and damned rhetoric.

Noco
I believe you are so close to the mark it is not funny.
I think the hidden agenda maybe (i do not know what to do next)i.e. there is no agenda!
I think she has Spielberg writing her scripts on spin.

Well she certainly knows how to spook the Chinese investment!
Then I am wondering if thats not a good thing.
Cheers.

According to the Australian News Paper this morning, Juliar's goose is cooked. I would say it is more like burnt to frizzle.
Joe Hockey quoted on Q & A last night that he did not want to see Julia go. She must be the Liberals best asset I guess.

How can Gillard inspire confidence in voters when she can't even gain confidence from her own party.
How LOOOWWW can she go under the limbo rock?

It's all very well for Andrew Bolt to demand a substitute for Ms Gillard when he has zero influence over the matter.

And to suggest either Mr Rudd or Mr Crean would be better than Ms Gillard is facile.
Both had their chances and both totally fluffed it.
Simon Crean is a decent enough bloke but not PM material.
Our Kev would be even worse than he was before if he were begged to come back.
Besides, on what basis would anyone want him back? It seems simply because a bunch of Qld voters are still annoyed about his dismissal.

However bad Ms Gillard's polls become, I can't see Labor dumping her. They simply have no one who could do better, with the possible exception, imo, of Stephen Smith, though he lacks substance.

Labor's situation mirrors that of the Coalition, in that Tony Abbott is widely still not liked, but they don't have anyone who would do better.

Julia, lets hope for a bye election or an Indy defection.

The Labor Party are in a catch 22 situation. If they dump Gillard, the Party will lose support from Wlikie which will bring on an election.

If they let her stay, the Labor Party will sink further into the hole she is digging for herself and the party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Labor has a real prolem.

IMO, there is a possibility that it's all bluff from Wilke and the indies. I wouldn't think they would ruin their day in the sun just because leadership changes. I think they would continue to prop labor up for as long as possible - they would have limited choices otherwise.
