and Daryl Melham.
Yes, Mr Melham's resignation from his position reflects very badly on Ms Gillard.and Daryl Melham.
I saw a snippet of a speech Gillard made today (not in the parliament, at a breakfast) where she was talking about women being treated equally etc. and the dificulties of being the first female PM (). She said she won't be happy until no one comments about women politicians because there are equal number of men and women in parliament. What???? What would that prove? Nothing. I won't be happy until we have good people in parliament regardless of their gender . I don't care if it's 50% women, 20% women or 80% women I just want to see the best people doing the job and no tokenism. 50% women will not prove anything! What is this obsession with 50% of everything?

I think it won't be long before this Govt falls
Parliament is unworkable and remaining support for these desperate crooks is fading fast
Just when you think this government has scraped the bottom of the barrel they find another lower level!
THE disgraced former boyfriend of the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, took a leading role in the purchase of a unit in the name of a union crony with stolen union funds, documents reveal.
The papers also confirm that Ms Gillard closely managed legal work on the 1993 transaction - without advising her senior partners at law firm Slater & Gordon of the involvement of then boyfriend Bruce Wilson.
Meanwhile, on another front,

The government had spent a month vilifying Tony Abbott for having "a problem with women". But when one of the bulwarks of the government was exposed as having a problem with women, it was suddenly acceptable.
