The Gillard Government

Indeed.

Replacing Kevin Rudd with Julia Gillard was their root canal. It has clearly failed and the infection has rapidly spread.

Doc, it is more than an infection, it is a cancer and spreading fast into the Labor Party heart.

The best cure is a double dissolution of "CHEMO THERAPY" and if that does not work, I suggest a cremation and a buriel just to make sure.

Indeed it is.
Fat chance of the PM actually doing so though.
Far from wanting to advantage Australia, Gillard and her poxy government have done one stupid thing after another to disadvantage our great country.
When Gillard deposed Rudd I really thought she might bring some common sense and responsibility to the Labor Party by dismantling some of Rudd’s ridiculous policies and abandoning some of his grandiose plans. But the damn fool has done the opposite.
Whitlam and Rudd were the worst two PM’s this country has ever had......until Gillard took over. Bad as they were, Whitlam and Rudd didn’t even come close to matching Gillard for stupidity, arrogance, cowardice, dishonesty, nastiness, lack of moral fibre, and downright incompetence.
She has to go.

+1 Excellent analysis Bunyip.

Unfortunately for all the rusted on Labor supporters, the Labor party does not realise this, so that they cannot do anything about it.

Oh, I'm agreeing with you pilots. This is the classic line that ALP supporters have been running with, well, the ones I have spoken to recently.

There will be quite a mess to clean up. Will the Government debt ceiling of $300 Billion be hit?

I was clearing my PO box this morning, when I heard a woman behind me cry out "Oh God!"

I asked, "Bad news?"

And she said "I just got my power bill."
 
Now the government has got its 10 minutes of glory 'World Wide' by throwing a bucket of bile over Tony.
They now call 'balise', we don't want to play this anymore. What a disgracefull bunch of $hits.

They are an absolute disgrace. In my opinion, they belong in a farmyard.
How the hell has government standards dropped to this.:cry:

They have apparently belatedly woken up to the adverse comment about her tirade, and its undeniable hypocrisy.

From the link provided by drsmith:
But, in my view, a better way to respond to the toxicity of unrestrained personal vitriol now deeply infecting national politics is to rise above it.

The Slipper affair offered Gillard the means to do this. Gillard could have gone into Parliament and made a speech, with similar towering rhetoric and passion to the one she gave attacking Abbott and defending herself, by arguing that “enough is enough” of the ugliness at every level, not just the sexist one.

And she could have backed her words with a symbolic action – declaring that Speaker Slipper had lost the confidence of the government.

So true. And perhaps Gillard et al are now recognising this missed opportunity.

Julia Bishop, on the other hand, did as suggested in the first sentence above on "7.30" and refused to be drawn into the whole sexist thing. As a result, she offered the Prime Minister a lesson in dignity.
 
Convicted rapist thinks Abbott is sexist.

MIKE Tyson is in the red corner.

Coming out swinging for Julia Gillard and her impassioned speech to parliament about misogyny, Tyson says the Prime Minister is right: society is sexist.

In a tell-all interview with The Sunday Telegraph, the former heavyweight boxing world champion said he was a big fan of Gillard's prime ministership and the fact Australia has a female leader. "I think it's wonderful for the country," he said.

Tyson said he caught Gillard's fiery Canberra speech on TV news in Britain, while on tour for his one-man show, Undisputed Truth, which he will bring to the Sydney Convention Centre next month.

The ABC still don't get it. They continue to persist that Gillards rant was the best speech since sliced bread when in actual fact its at the other end of the spectrum.
Barry Cassidy and Lenore Taylor continue to foster the hypocrisy. Cassidy, on Insiders, attempts to shut down Michael Stutchbury because he has a different view and tries to explain how it all came about.

Your ALPABC at work for you. What a joke. Can I withdraw my funding please.

So, their trying to salvage from the corpse what they can. It sounds like it's back to being a wake.

The following is another good piece, this time from The Australian.

Labor's story chops and changes and the flurry of ministerial activity is concentrated on winning at any cost: in the parliament this very instant and then whatever it takes to win the next election. Again, as Labor elders keep wondering, what does the party stand for? What is Gillard even about, except for holding on to power, as in those tumultuous, hazy campus days of wine and raging?

Gillard's "passionate intensity", to recall Yeats, has brought out the worst in Labor: class struggle, gender wars, Slippery Pete and the heartbreaking sense that the voters are being played.

And it's reflected in the polls.

I think the labor government are nothing more than a grubby, shamefull group of individuals masquerading as politicians.
Hell, these people are supposed to be representitive of our values and decency, just unbelievable.:eek:

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...the-name-calling/story-e6freono-1226495516892

How Gillard thinks a spray like that, on the world stage, is going to impress normal everyday Australians is incomprehensible.

This Government is worse than "THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES" show. It just goes on and on with a new drama each week. Watch for the next episode next week, maybe Gillard might surprise us all by resigning .

AND PIGS MIGHT FLY TOO.
