Gillard for PM?

Jump to new
Not a long political future for mules these days.
 
They seem to be in denial about union associations being unpopular.
AUD mixed but mostly down.
Wonder how the spi will react.
 
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.


Good luck Australia, Gough disaster MkII coming at ya.

After an initial feeling of schadenfreude when Rudd got his just deserts, and in the sober light of day, the scenario does look very scary. The unelected faceless men are running the country again.

I am also afraid that when Gillard fixes her beady reptilian eyes on Abbott across the despatch box he will go to water.

She will beat Tony Abbott, but then we will be subjected to the most socialist PM that Australia has ever seen, and we will think that Rudd/Swann were economic legends.

Not far wrong I reckon, unless people understand - she was a kitchen cabinet member. These policies were her policies.

A union apparatchik, and they are determined to have a mining tax.

Policy wise - same pig just different lipstick. If you thought Rudd was bad, you ain't seen nothin yet.

Spot on there Wayne.

Three biggest mistakes made by Australia:

1. Letting KRudd ru(i)n the country for so long.
2. The Socceroos line up against Germany.
3. Reelecting Labour with Gillard as PM

Whoa is us!
 
LADEEEEEEEEEEEZ AND GENERALMEN ......... I present to you the Prime Minister of Australia and her hairdressing partner Tim.

Technically you don't really vote for a Prime Minster. But in any case she was elected as deputy, that is first fall back guy. So its not too far away from the plebeians wishes?

Yeh, suppose we could call it a major paradigmatic shift in thinking. Blokes get a bit distracted by the brains below whereas the girls may have it more in the head. So lets see, most of your Mum's did a fair job on all here, lets be open till the dust settles a bit. Markets up

Sun is even shining brighter down here at Mount Martha at this time.

Great day for the wooorrkeers, ole Norm G may even be smilin

She was elected as Deputy by the Caucus. Rudd appointed the rest of his cabinet. He was the first Labor PM that the factions allowed to do this. This will change when, and if, Labor is returned.
 
Good one Julia!

Technically true, but recently Oz elections have been run in a more presidential style.

In practice when Australians vote for Joe or Joeline Schmoe as their local expenses rorter, uppermost in their mind is who is to be PM. The local member is rarely even known and deputy PM an insignificant consideration unless there is some sort of "out in the open" succession deal.

People voted for either KRudd or Johnny Rotten in the last election.

Times have certainly changed. Gillard is not only the first unmarried Prime Minister, she will have her live-in boyfriend installed in the Lodge.

Back in the sixties Billy McMahon, who was a closet gay, got married at 57 because he knew Australia was not ready to accept an unmarried PM.
