Does Gillard inspire confidence?

[Macquack]

You are losing it Burns.

I will be happy when the Liberal Party takes office so we can see the end of your childish nonsense.

I would say the majority of voters would consider Gillard is acting like an over grown school girl in pig tails.

Just look at today's polls Macquack, that should tell you something.

While the AWU slush fund issue continues to bubble away in the background, Michael Smith a week or so appeared to be indirectly hinting the Julia Gillard would not be charged.

The latest from Hedley Thomas,

Hasn't this thread lost its relevance with Kevin Rudd now PM ? Is there any point to further comments ?

I think a lot of people are still interested in whether the woman who was PM for three years is ultimately shown to have acted improperly or not.

So at this stage it is no longer about her role as PM but focusing on whether or not she did something dodgy 20 years ago ? Bit of a long bow I think.

But I suppose its still worth having another personal line to attack the Labour party in the coming election.

I'm open to compromise.

I'm not a Liberalite, or a liberal lite (what is that anyway?) But I suspect that article would be more of a source of amusement.... a bit like "worlds best treasurer" etc.

Transparent.

If you substituted Bob Brown for Julia Gillard, I'd agree with it, he pulled off a blinder, excuse the pun.

He played Julia like a fiddle, beautiful to watch, then he rode of into the sunset.

I guess whatever your views of Gillard's tenure in the role of PM, there would be very few that would argue that Abbott's abysmal performance has made her look much, much better! We didnt realise how awful a PM could be until 'we' elected the rabbit. (although now, no one admits to voting for the LNP.).

I think we are starting to see history will hold Gillard in high regard, faced with a relentless, viscious and mysoginist attack on her position by both the RWNJ media and Captain Negativity, Abbott - as well as the meglomania of Rudd, she still managed to achieve a lot of constructive government.

Oops there's the M word again.

It was Labor itself and its current leader that kicked her from the prime ministership.

She was so good that not even her own side was game enough to have her lead the party to the 2013 election.

I mentioned the Rudd meglomania, but it would be a very naive analysis that ignored the impact of the other impacts I highlighted.

And what sweet irony that the Mad Monk should find himself in a very similar situation a couple of years later! It would take a miracle for him to still lead the party at the next election - and all the praying for him to stay from the ALP probably wont be enough to keep him in the job!

Ah the memories of media grown ups of the not so distant past, replete with comments from their erudite nasal twanged fans:



What was it Paul Keating said ...."`God help us. God help us"'.

Her own use of the political political bread knife didn't exactly help the Rudd megalomania and at the end of the day, Kevin Rudd was only one vote in the Labor caucus.

Julia Gillard's prime ministership didn't perish because of Labor's political opponents as "F*** Tony Abbott" and the like won't kill his prime-ministership. They have both suffered as a consequence of their own decisions.

Don't you think the 'mad monk' quote really lowers the value of your opinion.

I've yet to see Abbott act 'mad', or even raise his voice, when goaded by rabid reporters.

I really would like to see yourself and others, stand up for this misplaced criticism, with the same venom you stood up for Gillard's misplaced accusation.

Just have to wait for the press to give you the heads up and o.k it.

The Labor controlled ABC are going out of their way to destroy Abbott.

Could those accusing Abbott of misogyny, can you please give examples.

 

[sptrawler]

In a word "no" they can't, they can't even give an example of him losing his temper or abusing a reporter. He doesn't even snap at reporters who constantly interject or wrongly accuse him of something.

Yet Rudd can ff and blind everyone, Gillard verbally abuses him, Gillard's staff incited a riot against him.
Yet the press overlook that behaviour, just shows how much sway the media has.

As the old saying goes "throw enough mud, some will stick", especially when feeding muppets.
