Just reinforces the view she has the hide of a rhino and lacks the character to stand up and say she was wrong. Certainly takes the cake in arrogance stakes.
But Julia claims that their new policy of going back to Nauru & PNG is different to the Libs policy.
How dumb does she think the electorate is?
How people can keep harping on, Abbott hasn't a clue, when he keeps rubbing the governments nose in it is beyond me.
It will be interesting to see if the news reports give Abbott credit for being correct in his assesment of the action required.
Also lets see if they pay out on Gillard for being so stuborn and so wrong for so long!!!!!!
I feel for Chris Bowen. He wanted to revert to using Nauru some time ago but was blocked by Gillard et al.Well that's great, shows Tony's not negative, just stating facts. Gillard should start listening instead of talking, is there any wonder poor old Bowen looks ill.
Has anyone heard if they plan to have TPVs? I understand that was an important part of the system that worked previously.
Yes: they have essentially recommended the spirit of the TPVs without actually using that name.I think they have recomended that asylum seekers can't bring relatives over.
Mr Morrison encouraged Labor to ''get to work'' on reopening the asylum seeker centres on Nauru and Manus Island.
The Coalition frontbencher said the Houston report endorsed the spirit of temporary protection visas and supported the Howard government view that family reunions were a pull factor.

They don't need to. It's absolutely obvious and a complete humiliation for Gillard.Why don't the papers say the experts back Abbotts stance, obviously scared to death.
On the ABC's website there was an image of Julia Gillard and Chris Bowen while Julia gillard was speaking. It's gone now, but in it Chris Bowen didn't look very happy.I feel for Chris Bowen. He wanted to revert to using Nauru some time ago but was blocked by Gillard et al.

Yes, absolutely.And vindication for TA's stance.

Labor hasn't adopted anything. It's been forced down Labor's throat.Interesting such a union driven, left wing, Fabians Labor party looking to adopt an ultra ring wing policy.

Actually there are differences that the committee recommended such as no advantage to boat people over those sitting in camps waiting for placement and relatives to only come through normal immigration not automatic selection.
Also the committee recommended seeking a regional solution along the lines of the Malaysia deal but with tighter controls over asylum seeker rights and protections none of which I believe are Coalition policy.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has phoned the President of Nauru and the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea to formally request re-opening twin asylum-seeker processing centres on both the Pacific island nations.
Her party will slaughter her well before then, torch her political corpse and scatter the ashes in a far, far away palce.I'm about to order the party pies and the champers for election night.
I hope Gingerella hasn't scurried away by then to avoid the consequences of her actions.

She has brought her party to the brink of ruin.
True, and above all, exasperating. They just don't get it. Admitting you were wrong at least earns respect, that they can't bring themselves to it, goes to fitness to govern. To lead a nation, you must leave tribalism behind.Labor hasn't adopted anything. It's been forced down Labor's throat.
Perhaps Labor should outsource governing more often.
I'm wondering how the electorate will view all this. Might they in fact see it as an admission of being wrong and a preparedness to totally change tack? It was, after all, Kevin Rudd who dismantled the Pacific Solution.True, and above all, exasperating. They just don't get it.

Might be just another thing to add in the list of stuff for which Kev is to blame, thus minimising the fallout for Ms Gillard. Or perhaps the voters have seen enough of Labor's stuff ups to just not care about who to blame other than just the party itself.
I don't know. The next poll will be interesting.
Must be the ultimate humiliation for Ms Gillard to have to phone the leaders of Nauru and PNG.
Ultimately, perhaps the Greens will benefit from this as disaffected Labor voters, against any form of offshore processing, leave Labor.
Probably this Julia. I'd say the electorate are too far gone now, and every power bill reminds them. This is what Australia has come to, our federal governance is, to use the vernacular, and with apologies to that nation, a "Greek Tragedy".I'm wondering how the electorate will view all this.....Or perhaps the voters have seen enough of Labor's stuff ups to just not care about who to blame other than just the party itself..
