Does Gillard inspire confidence?

Re: Gillard on Q&A


Thats one of the most insightful descriptions of Gillard Ive read.
 
Re: Gillard on Q&A


Then an election thumping it wil have to be, and I'll have to settle for it.

Deep down, I too believe it will be a bloodless, self-righteous departure lacking in any remorse and regret for the huge breach of trust and the historical legacy of leaving us with our first female PM as an abject failure.

That's why I've jokingly thought that Gillard would call the army in (except that they would all be pre-occupied with the Royal Commission called by Smith). Gillard's not making much of the legislative robustness of her 'carbon price' at the moment, but that stubbornness is on show via Combet's stated attempts to Abbott-proof it from being dismantled.

Talk about total annihilation.

Just watching Q & A on ABC, it is all a bit like a Julia advert, nobody is questioning her answers. It appears very staged and a bit of a saturday night live show.

Maybe she is taking lessons from Abbott's endless photo ops with the 3 worded slogans and no questions.........

Yes your probably right.
It's just a shame that the ABC don't give Tony 1hr of airplay, feeding warm feel good questions. Then make the audience say nothing while he answers them.
Also it was nice to see an A.B.C reporter sitting there with his gob shut and a smile on his face, while Julia spewed out rubbish, without challenging it.
Again it would be nice if they extended the same opportunity to Tony.
Hope it all works out well for the A.B.C, they certainly are rolling the dice.

Was I the only one to catch Tony's cheeky smirk during the show?
I'll have a look for it. It was sooooooo obvious that Julia wasn't going to get hammered that show.

There was no better example of scripting than when the Prime Minister reached out her hand and placed it on the forearm of the presenter.

The cooperation (as we know the PM's staff pursue with pre-interview discussions) only needed to use the word 'friendly' as a cue, and the hand reached out. Jones looked nonplussed, as if he knew it was coming but he couldn't manufacture a suitable look, so he did the 'stunned mullet', half orgasmic grin.
 
Re: Gillard on Q&A

Like I said, I wonder if they will cut Tony the same slack.
I doubt it, but when labor get thrown out, the A.B.C will be bitching and crying when the Libs go through them like a dose of salts.LOL
Same $#!t different day at the A.B.C just depends who is in power, to whose ar$e you kiss

He'll get plenty on The Bolt Report, I'm sure...

^ Just like many Libs are still unable to come to terms with the last election result...

You believe what you want to believe, and think that everyone else in the world is wrong. You have the warm fuzzy feeling of support from the overwhelming majority of this forum, which is why you hang around, and no doubt your personal leanings will be vindicated at the next election, but are you really right?

FFS just enjoy living here.

We're not talking about the rest of the world, most of whom would have no idea what is happening in Australia.
We are discussing Australian politics, so perhaps consider that an overwhelming majority of Australian voters are disgusted by this government.
What an odd comment. There is also support for his comments by the vast majority of Australians. Nothing to do with opinions just on this forum.
 
Re: Gillard on Q&A


Actually I'm not that taken by the Bolt report, watched it once and decided it was too coalition biased for me.

But by the same token Gillard on Q & A was just the same.
So I will make my mind up on election day by performance, as I usualy do.

Also probably lived here for longer than you and contributed more than you, but I wouldn't want to rub your nose in it.
 
Re: Gillard on Q&A

Julia, there is a greater majority on ASF, which is surely a comforter to those bent that way.

Still, just enjoy living here!!!!!!!!!

Or nominate which country you (or any complainer) would prefer to live in.

I think it is merely a microcosm of the wider community, an accurate reflection.... at the moment anyway.

Julia G sure doesn't have many friends out there.

Mate, get a life, make constructive comment or researched criticism.
Otherwise find a forum where waffle talk is appreciated.
If you want to debate the Q & A presentation on the A.B.C keep on track.

NZ. Canada. Both of which are not on because of their cold climates.
But both of which score much more highly on the "Least Corrupt" surveys.

I'd like to see you justify your comment that there is a greater right majority or greater number against the carbon tax on ASF than Australia.
Sounds like the mother of all biased statements to me, with nothing to actually back it up.
Not surprising.

"I'd go but it's too cold!"

Sure.

Was merely pointing out that there is a difference between right, Right, and righteous. There is plenty of evidence on ASF of righteosness from those that lean Right. Obviously, some are oblivious to it and cannot see any difference in those 3 terms anyway.

That's not fair - you know damn well that I am one of the minority who actually provide links to back up many of my claims. Many of your cohorts simply don't, and you know it.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and accept yopur apology because I see you made your post late at night and you might have been influenced by other factors, who knows.
