Does Gillard inspire confidence?

[Macquack]

I'm sure the Libs would have done a deal to get his support, I actually felt sorry for the poor bastard when Gillard just brushed him aside.

What deal with the Libs?

You got one thing right feeling sorry for Wilkie, because he did nothing wrong and got dished.

He is still in the best position to help the plight of problem gamblers, so cut the "honour" bull**** Burns.

Look.......he did a deal with Gillard to get her into the Lodge, she then spat in his face and he did nothing, how pathetic is that.
There are various ways to curb gambling he could have done a deal with the Libs but he didnt even have the guts to do that he is weak and useless.

Well he has jumped into bed with the most despised government in my memory.
So how he can support it and expect to be treated differently, is rubish.
As for feeling sorry for the bastard, he didn't feel too sorry when he behaved like a bastard at Duntroon.
Give me a break, live by the sword die by the sword. The rewards are high and they know the scrutiny they will come under.

Duntroon ? dont know the story there, but he will have to dodge public bars in future as he wil be despised by many.

ANDREW Wilkie has a knot in his stomach. It comes, mostly, from not knowing which chapter of his ''spirited youth'' he will be forced to confront next.

The Tasmanian independent believes he is at the centre of a smear campaign orchestrated by the pokies industry. There have been threats about ''compromising'' photographs and allegations about his bastardry at Duntroon, some incidences of which he could not recall, many of which he had already confessed to.

I'm not saying he isn't sorry for his behaviour, but I do take exception to him being made out to be some sort of angel.

Well that explains his gutless reaction to being treated like dirt by Gillard.

Julia Gillard sells Canberra investment property

The two-bedroom Wentworth Avenue apartment is located in the “boutique” Aspect complex, very close to Parliament House.

Confidence?

More like CONfidence.

JuLiar & Propoganda Minister Herr Schwann promised all Australians mega riches from the MRRT - initially to the tune of $AUS 4 Billion, later revised down in a series of humiliating backdowns to $AUS 2 Billion.

So what did we really end up with?

THE mining tax, which the Federal Government needs to fund projects worth billions of dollars, raised just $126 million in its first six months.

The failure of the tax had been the Government's most embarrassing fiscal secret.

Treasurer Wayne Swan today released the revenue figures from the Minerals Resource Rental Tax (MRRT) for the first time after the Australian Tax Office was assured no information about individual corporate taxpayers would be identified.

Originally the tax was to raise $4 billion a year, then $3 billion. But late last year that figure was downgraded to $2 billion.

The $126 million for the first two quarters of the tax indicates the full year's tax revenue will be nowhere near the revised target, even though mineral prices are on the rise.

EPIC FAIL!

I vote - NO CONFIDENCE whatsoever.

Julia Gillard was asked before Xmas 2012 about the budget coming into surplus.

Her answer,"we will not fail. Failure is not an option". See her on the link.

How can anyone believe or have any confidence in this communistic tainted Prime Minister. She must go before she has a chance to do more damage to this great country of ours.

Amazing, unbelievable timing. She must have known it would look like she was running up the white flag.

Yes, and in the period following the last election, I'm sure the Liberal Party would have an opinion on how 'decent' Andrew Wilkie's negotiations with them were. There's a saying used in US politics, something about pigs and lipstick.

It seems like smart ar$ed McTernan, has invoked the old saying live by the sword die by the sword, with the misogyny speach.
It was a bit 'out there' and seemed like it could have been levelled at any bloke. Actually change a few words and it could have been levelled at any woman.
All in all a pretty un Australian cheap shott that is backfiring.
How she can claim Abbott is nasty to her and then behave as she does, undermines it.
She comes over as a contradiction, "you will now see the real Julia", yep and it isn't nice.lol

Slowly but surely, Julia Gillard's universe is collapsing.

A JUDICIAL figure who exposed alleged union corruption involving Julia Gillard's then boyfriend is taking a rare step of calling on witnesses to offer evidence to a new police investigation.

Kevin Rudd or otherwise, Labor will have no choice but to replace her as party leader before the ugly stuff really hits the fan. That's if her scheduled election doesn't come first and the electorate are left to do what the Labor Party itself should have done long ago.

 

[sptrawler]

I wonder if the weight of evidence will give the ipetus, to pursue the untouchable.

The pressure will build all year. ALP backbenchers, as with Mungo McCallum, will awake as if from a dream.

From a dispassionate standpoint, cheering for Julia Gillard to prop her up as PM, would be the best way to ensure a change of government in Sept.

Can't see them going early, unless Rudd or S.Smith take over, which has to be at least a 50:50 chance now. Electorally, Crean, Shorten or Combet would be seen as just more of the same, if not worse looking at Combet.

Does not matter whether it is Rudd or Gillard. They are both inept and completely unsuitable to be PM.

One is psycho (see other Labor Party members comments) and the other one is a lying crook (see multitude of scandals and backflips).

Great choice!!

If Julia Gillard's looking for the dagger, I think I know where it is.
