Gillard for PM?

Jump to new
Good comments, but I am surprised at the number of Pro labour comments from would be capitalists ?
Labour has proved again they want to take from the rich and give it to themselves. (haven't we heard that again somewhere. Communism?)

I don't like Gillard, she is a nasty piece of work and she is all spin.
Seriously, what does she stand for, she is left wing, and all she wants is power. (very dangerous)
Steven Smith (peacock) what has he DONE?. (more spin)

However I am disappointed with the Liberals, I think Tony Abbott did a great job of rebuffing the "global warming" debate which was and still is all about scientists making themselves jobs.

However Tony does not go down well with the general public, I don't think the Budgie smugglers and the "church bit" go down well.
I think it's a shame because I think he is the most honest of them all.

It is going to be interesting, watching it unfold, it is a shame that it is all going to damage our economy.

Gillard's reptilian looks appeal to some people. She will strike when she is ready, but not until Rudd is completely dead in the water

Rudd treats Foreign Minister Smith as a doormat. He uses Quentin Bryce as his overseas rep.

Yep, I think she has done a good job there.

I also think she is a good team player, has stood by Rudd whether she agreed or not, and she always keeps Abbott speechless in any debate.

Just my opinion.

I think Tony is speechless as he can't get his head around what she is doing out of the kitchen on a school night!

So is Kruddy damaged goods enough for Gillard to assume the mantle? The pressure is building.

Clean slate trick will fool quite a few, maybe enough to get through second term election.

But we better start tightening the belt as money wasted will have to be paid back.

Voting for Abbott, a ring wing religious Howardite sort of contradicts your hard core Labor claim

No it doesn't.
It highlights how on the nose Krudd is.

I am also a previously life long labor supporter but at this stage I would rather vote for Abbott then risk Krudd doing more damage to Australia.

Wow, not even a swinging voter, and you're sufficiently disaffected to vote for Abbott.

Well, that won't happen, Bevo. At the very most, Gillard will replace Rudd.
But let's be careful what we wish for: Tony Abbott has some chance of winning the election against Mr Rudd, but his chances would be much reduced against Julia Gillard imo.
Bet they're all holding their breath until the Newspoll on Tuesday.

What on earth has the NSW situation got to do with federal politics. The by-election was to replace a useless, lying politition and a vote against a tired and nonperforming State government. Nothing more,nothing less.:confused:
 
You'd think so, Nioka. But all the political pundits I've heard discussing this have suggested the current feeling against Rudd is so strong, it will flow into the State elections.
Whatever, I don't suppose the result will exactly cheer up Federal Labor.

Yeah agree Julia would be better (for Liberal) if they keep Rudd, I would much rather see the federal government get booted very badly.

Swing is 24% two party preferred so far a new record might be state election but one can't help think there is a message in it for labour state and federal, will wait to see newspoll next week.

You will find that the NSW right faction of the federal Labour party is the king (or queen) maker within the party.

I think Kevvie is gonna be rat fornicated again.

Maybe more than you or Wayne Swan are giving credit for....?? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/br...surer-wayne-swan/story-e6frf7jx-1225881845629

Although commentators were yesterday suggesting the result would have no ramifications at a federal level, voters approached by The Sunday Telegraph appeared to be angry at both Mr Rudd and Ms Keneally.

At polling booths and on street corners, angry voters spilled forth a litany of complaints about roads, hospitals, politicians, kerbs and the Paluzzano corruption scandal.

"Frustration, more than anything else, was the mood of the electorate," Regentville Rural Fire Brigade member Graham Northey said. "It's time for a change.

"I'm an accountant and, in the course of my job, people talk politics.

"It all revolves around what's happening federally: they don't like what Rudd's doing, they don't like what Keneally's doing."

Will Julia Gillard be our First Lady PM?

Folks
As we all know on Thursday Kevin Rudd has called a vote to test his leadership and for Australians to see the first lady PM coming as Julia Gillard.

Let us hear your views and coments:

Do you think RSPT will be taken out with Julia coming and thus going to be a face saving back fillip for labour ?

"Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has confirmed that Julia Gillard will challenge him for the nation's top job in a leadership spill tomorrow (thursday ) morning".

Cheers
 
I don't care if the Member for Lalor becomes the next PM.

As long as the Aussies beat Serbia tonight, I'll be tickled pink. :D ;)
