The Gillard Government

How tedious it is all becoming. If only they would, on both sides, just get on with attempting to run the ****** country!

When have the politicians ever run the country? Did anyone notice during the period after the last election when there was no clear outcome and the Country was waiting for its new Government to be formed that the Country still ran by itself. It didn't stop running. It seemed to carry on perfectly. So why do we need these buffoons at all?

Oh sorry Julia, I just realised you didn't say 'running' you actually said "... ATTEMPTING to run..."
 
What, are you trying to espouse, this government has some sort of credibility?
If so, please put up the basis for the argument.LOL

No, he's just trying to change the dictionary like Bull Shorten.

Observation/comment is now "delusion".
 
Will the delusions of the ASF right ever stop? :rolleyes: you guys make Alan Jones look fair and balanced.

Well SC.....if anyone would know about delusions it would have to be you.....when Rudd was PM I recall you telling this forum that he was doing a good job. This was at a time when Rudd himself was so dissapointed in his own performance that he said publicly ‘We’re getting a whacking in the polls, and quite frankly we deserve a whacking’.

You were clearly delusional about Rudd - are you going to continue your delusion by declaring that Gillard’s inept performance is worthy of praise as well?
 
I'm glad she wasn't injured, but likewise couldn't help thinking it was allegorical.
 
I concur with her comments about heels and grass, not always a good combination. I was also glad she didn't do herself an injury. However, I too couldn't help thinking of it as a metaphor, and it wasn't just a stumble it was a fall.
 
Gillard comes a gutsa in India.:D



You are a nasty piece of work, Calliope.

I hope karma gets you.

Noticed the spin put on it by the PM, as reported by Michelle Grattan.

..''For men who get to wear flat shoes all day, every day, if you wear a heel it can get embedded in soft grass.."
That is, flat shoes are something men "get to wear", whereas women presumably are high-heeled footwear victims, even at diplomatic meetings with other heads of state, where they walk across the lawn.

Tony Abbott must be behind this in some way, and he can expect another parliamentary blast when the PM returns.
 
Gillard is making all the right moves in the public spotlight this week. This is despite the Thomson scandal, her own document disappearing act and Roxon just being plain dodgy. Media coverage has been pretty much in her court and only touching on the dirty side of labor. I would not be surprised if labor moved up in the polls, but its a long game yet.

Libs need to bite the bullet and bring out Turnbull into the spotlight. The more they get him into the media and on issue the better it will be for them. Women and manginas simply respond better to him and will halt any slide into the election.
The problem is he is just not a team player and can't keep his ego in check.

Nonsense! If she doesn't want to be a "high-heeled footwear victim" she could wear boots, like Roxon and Rudd.
 
Turnbull's biggest negative is that he is more popular with the Loony Left, than with coalition voters.:bad:

Yes Calliope, I agree. Turbull is more in the mould of Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and for the oldies a Clarke Gabel.

He (Turnbull) has more sex appeal than Abbott and that is what the women go on. It is a shame Turnbull is more Labor than Liberal, he may have been a better leader than Abbott and more popular with the women.

But we can't help being what we are. Maybe Abbott needs some plastic surgery to help his image.It is shame on Gillard for attempting to brand Abbott as a misogynist.

What ever it takes. That is the Labor Party policy.

Noco, that's a pretty ridiculous generalisation. I have no time for Mr Turnbull and know no women who do.
I doubt that we are particularly atypical of women overall.

Nothing wrong with his appearance. That is not the problem.
It is shame on Gillard for attempting to brand Abbott as a misogynist.
Indeed it is. It is also shame on the Maquarie Dictionary for adjusting their meaning of misogyny to accommodate her.
