Does Gillard inspire confidence?

[MrBurns]

The comparison was to Nixon's Office.

The comparison was meant to illustrate that no matter how crummy the leader is, and Gillard is as crummy as they come, it does not reflect on the office if people show their displeasure with that leader.

Nixon was the subject of ridicule but it did not damage the office of President.

What's your point Burns?

At the end of the day, some f***ing idiot has to be the President of the good old US of A, they are not going to leave the position vacant.

Someone with character and integrity will carry on, the same as when Tony Abbott takes over in Sept from the curse that occupies the Lodge now.

They also claimed the cost was between $112 and $150/car. Not $400, which was a PwC estimate.

Either way if $400 on a $30k product makes it uneconomic then it wasn't economic to begin with.

Ms Gillard today announced an additional $15m to the Ford workers' package.

The $15m commitment comes on top of an existing $51.9 million jobs assistance package.

Ms Gillard said $5 million would be set aside immediately to provide career advice services and training. A further $5 million will go towards future skills training if required.

Geelong will be made a priority employment area, with a $200,000 fund to help the transition of workers into new jobs before or after the plant closes.

I've previously raised the inequitable nature of so much being offered to just one area, despite hundreds of people losing their jobs for similar reasons all over the country.

Nothing special for them, apparently.

She must very specifically be looking for votes in the Geelong area.

Looking forward to ripping strips off your "good old boy".

Feather duster...

Feather duster...

Featherweight...

 

[MrBurns]

Featherweight...

That too

Which makes it no less uninformed. But par for the course around here.

It's pleasing to see that we are not all cynics here, and that Ms Gillard does inspire confidence enough in you for you to sit up until 2.46AM to think up that brilliant riposte in support of her..

 

[DCD]

Bintang, feel free to show your disrespect at the polling booth.

If you think childish sandwich throwing is acceptable then you are just condoning a race to the bottom of anti-social behaviour.

Yogurt is more acceptable in my view. And I used to vote Labor.

McLovin is not a geriatric and is quite able to stay up on Saturday night after 8.30pm.

Since when did you dictate the "opening hours" of ASF?

 

[MrBurns]

Sandwiches are just the warm up.

 

[moXJO]

After nearly 40 years of working in process control or automated industries the Germans win hands down yet we have the same technical expertise / engineering ability here what we don't have is good management Australian management in my own experience is a clear winner for being absolutely hopeless why I don't know its always being a puzzle.

Sorry but worker attitudes of 'that will do' play a big part on top of costs. I'd rate Australia as bottom of the list for service across the majority of industry as well. German work ethic and Australian work ethic are poles apart. Even German unions attitudes are 180 degrees from where we are. Funding and support is also an issue

You misunderstood me MacQuack. I was praising your friend McLovin. I think it admirable that while Julia's supporters are falling by the wayside, a staunch little band of supporters here are standing firm.

As for the late hour...he was probably having a Love-in, and good for him.

 

[Bintang]

Which makes it no less uninformed. But par for the course around here.

In that case McLovin I'm all ears. Please inform us here on ASF just exactly how Gillard inspires confidence. Perhaps you could inform us about Gillard's many inspirational achievements. If the list becomes too long feel free to start a new thread.

I'm not saying anything about whether she inspires confidence, but the comparison to what Richard Nixon did is ridiculous.

How do you know I'm in Australia?

I'm a Gillard supporter, news to me.

Just a guess

If you're not - you give very good imitation; or maybe you are just trolling.

 

[McLovin]

Not really. I've never actually said anything positive about her. Saying that you shouldn't be throwing a sandwich at the PM regardless of whether or not you agree with her is hardly the stuff of party hacks.

Put the shoe on the other foot, if someone threw a sandwich at PM Abbott there would be a very different reaction on here.

Not from me. Give PM Abbott time. If he disgraces the Office of PrimeMinister as badly as Julia Gillard has then he will deserve at least sandwich but I would hope he gets a tomato, an egg, some yogurt and a Mr Burns pie as well.

I will admit to thinking you are a Labor party supporter but likewise you probably think I am not.
