Errrrrrmmmmmmmm ...... the amount she pays in Royalties and Taxes both State and Federally is enough to keep a certain Banana Republic afloat. :eek:

Harvey Norman is doing well out of me .... I was listening to the radio in my shed and the news came on. Julia Gillard was giving a "speech" to the media scrum ........ Fair Dinkum !!! If I heard the words "HARD WORK" come out of her mouth one more time I would have burst a vessel. Instead I picked up the radio and smashed it.

1) The country is doing so well because of her Governments "HARD WORK"
2) The "HARD WORK" is not over yet and more needs to be done.
3) Due to her "HARD WORK" in the Senate we have a stable governement.
4) It will only be "HARD WORK" for her to win the next election.
5) *SMASH RADIO*

SHEEEEEEESHHHH !!! Hard work listening the b!tch I reckon !!!

Grr! I felt exactly the same.
Why on earth doesn't she actually listen to a recording of herself and realise how awful it sounds. I am totally sick of all the members of the government talking about all this "hard work" they are doing. As though we should be grateful, despite all their stuff ups.

I ask, genuinely - do you think the negative focus on Gillard is losing its effect, maybe it reached a saturation point but is now yesterdays news? Her tactics of hanging tough and not digging herself into any holes regarding a possible challenge from Rudd might explain the slight increase in the polls.

Good suggestion, Eager. That plus the fact that Rudd simply doesn't have the numbers should mean everything settles down because neither side has anything to gain by bringing on a challenge.

then there is the way she treats her kids.

Are you really in a position to understand all of the situation regarding Ms Reinhardt's family? You don't know whether or not she may have good reason for her actions re her children. I don't know, and don't really care either way. I don't think it's any of the business of the Australian public.
I wouldn't like my personal family tribulations plastered all over the media.

Oakeshott unimpressed with a self-obsessed Labor? I must be seeing stars. The guy has to be one of the greatest pompous/self-absorbed idiots of all time. Bring on the election :freak3::freak3::freak3::freak3:

When did Rudd supporters canvass Rob Oakeshott about change ?

drsmith said:
Those "different times" are all since September last year,

Mr Oakeshott said he had not received any telephone calls from Kevin Rudd or Labor “Praetorian guards” on the leadership issue."

Since September last year, but not recently ??

Mr Oakeshott, one of three independent MPs who agreed to back Labor under Ms Gillard after the 2010 election produced a hung parliament, said yesterday that Rudd supporters had canvassed him about change "in very general terms", although not recently.

When we were very young we were told not to lie to our parents.
At school the same instructions were given.
In religion "Though shalt not lie" is one of the 10 commandments.

So my question is, did Gillard have selective hearing when she was young.

In politics she started off with a white lie, then it continued until it became intensive lying. It has spread through the Labor organization to such an extent the whole country has accepted it as a "blood sport". i.e. Wivenhoe operation and inquiry.
In all fairness most politicians "twist the truth" a little. but not to the extent of Juliar.
The following attachment sums up Gillard.

The quicker we see Rudd and Gillard out of National politics the better.

And yet libs would be swept into office if an election was held. I don't like Abbott’s policies at all, but labor is just a disaster zone at the moment. And given how much they have bashed small business and IR laws I wouldn’t vote for them again for another decade.
Currently I prefer Gillard over Rudd, not a great win considering how badly both have performed. Bring on an election

Yes you are entitled to your opinion.
I will accept the verdict of the voters. lol
If the Libs. get in they will operate as a party team, not as a "punch and judy" show.
(i hope).

From one of the posts below, I will agree Gillard has got to be better PM than Rudd,
but she has committed many more sins.
(in the Catholic religion there are two sins, venial(little) and mortal(big). For Gillard we need another category

It's similar to the feelings that I had in the U.S. Crash thread where I stated that I was firmly in the 'recovery' camp. People WILL forget how bad things got over there; it is human nature to look forward. Similarly here, some people WILL forget some of the things that upset them with Labor/Gillard over the journey and live by the adage Better The Devil You Know etc. The election is a looooong way away yet. I'm not pretending that Labor will win, but IF the seas are COMPARITIVELY smooth between now and then, politically settling down if you like, the result MIGHT be close.

Politics aside, on the specific point of Gillard hanging tough, I think it has worked very well for her - does anyone else have an opinion?
 
I watched with intent interest question time in Parliament this afternnon with the first hour taken up by Gillard on the passing of Sir Selwyn Cowan and some journalist. I waited for queation and I waited and I waited with baited breath.

I could have thrown up my lunch listening to her wasting question time with her long spiel and finally turned off.

According to Andrew Bolt she closed down question earlier than normal.

Of what was she so afraid?

Gillard can forget about a Rudd challenge. Today in question time the opposition treated him as a figure of fun, and not to be taken seriously. He had a crazy look. With his ego exposed he has become a joke.

Murdoch hit the nail on the head when he said Rudd is "delusional."

But that is politics. The ruling party gets to do that.
 
The trick is come election time to be in a position where it doesn't really effect you.
If your in a position where a change in government will really improve your lifestyle get off your rs and start making a noise"......not here:D
This place is just a liberal love in.
 
The economical implosion will continue as the manufacturing sector readjust to expensive electricity.
Oakeshott and Windsor will start, or should I say, continue to see the EXIT sign looming large and will do a Wilkie, to try and save their pensions.LOL, LOL, LOL
If I was them I would get my skates on.:D
