Does Gillard inspire confidence?

Jump to new

Nah. The current Labor noddies (both sexes) are all "straw men" (ie - gutless). Party unity is more important to them than what's good for the nation. Don't hold your breath too long!
 
Those spinels power hungry currently in power will do anything to last the distance.
They have no shame and not enough dignity to acknowledge it and call it a day.

Yet time and time again Labor gets to power, to blow the accumulated wealth and throw away money as there is no tomorrow.

And more dole-for life individuals we have the more votes they will have.

There are some gems in there.

.....when we have a deep and lasting community concensus to do it and I don't believe we have that lasting and deep community concensus.

She could always say she was four short at the time of that statement, Bob Brown, Tony windsor, Rob Oakshott and Andrew Wilkie.

Everbody is equal, but some are more equal than others. That's how history will judge her.
 
Did anyone watch Ms Gillard interviewed on 7.30 this evening? She seems to be becoming even worse, especially in the face of some more than usually aggressive questioning from Chris Urhlman.
Does she ever, I wonder, watch her own interviews and actually get how utterly patronising her manner is?
Just embarrassing.
 
I've reached the point where I can't sit through these interviews. Can't bear to see the prosperity and reputation of an entire nation subverted by personal ambition, inflexible ideology and sectional interest.

Of course we've been collectively a little cruel to this PM, and the Labor Party must shoulder more of the blame than they have to date, but if you stand for PM it comes with the territory. How much did John Howard cop, and still copping from the illuminati of the Left!

As for Paul Barry on Q&A and subsequently elsewhere, wanting an examination of the media, well let's include The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, and ABC Radio and ABC Television in that shall we. Be careful what you wish for mate.
 

Julia it maybe embarrassing, but wait until the next state, then federal election and you will really see embarrassing.

Bolt is somewhat revisionist here. There was a time when he was mightily impressed by the Melbourne based Gillard, even 'a little in love' with her. For my part, since the ill fated Medicare Gold, and when her (then) chum Mark Latham was dumped, only to see Gillard emerge as the deputy to Kim Beazley, my opinion hasn't changed.

 
Logique - Richardson's sums labor's disappointment in Gillard poignantly with their:

"gross overestimation of Gillard’s ability".

I think we all thought it couldn't get much worse than Rudd - and obviously the labor power brokers thought the same. But if labor had lost it's way then, it is falling off a cliff now while Gillard is shouting "I'm the Proime Minister of Ostralia and this is the roight thing to do".

And I have found Bolt rarely to be partisan. It seems he is content to try and keep governments accountable and somewhat honest. I never heard a labor support complain about him when the Murdoch media were rightly giving the majority a voice over work choices. But now that the majority are fed up with this minority government, they want to silence the same media who gave the people voice in 2007.

This, from the comments following noco's link, pretty much expresses the frustration, disgust and fury much of the electorate is feeling:


Looks as if Kevin is up to his old ways of leaking cabinet information. No doubt now that he's positioning himself to return to the leadership.

How anyone can so quickly forget how unbearably arrogant and dismissive he was, how utterly consumed by hubris, is quite beyond me. The notion that he will come back is just awful, awful, awful.
