Are you actually seriously suggesting the Governor-General decides to which country and at what level Australia's foreign aid budget is determined?

A lot more than the $25,000,000 Labor talks about.

I think the Liberals will have to raise taxes if they form a government at the next election too - but that might be just me. The backdrop of falling taxation revenues and ballooning costs in this country almost gaurantees it.
Maybe, but the only reason we remain in Afghanistan is because Obama wants us there, and Gillard can't say no to Obama. If you can think of any other reason why we should continue such an idiotic stance, I would like to hear it. As Cynical so crudely indicates we are geared to Obama's policies on withdrawal strategy.
What a whimsical view of the world.

..rather than waiting to be dismissed as Minister for Foreign Affairs and acquiring thereby a second halo of popular martyrdom, Rudd hastily resigned. Flushed out by the Gillard loyalists, Rudd’s challenge had come far too early..
Whimsical? No...realistic.Take a look - she's all over him like a rash. In your own whimsical way can you imagine her behaving like this with Romney?
Exactly - it's no where near a recent development that Australia's foreign policy has been to get into bed with the larger Western economic powerhouses.We're joined at the hip to America, we'd still be in Afghanistan whoever was in the White House.
She was simply doing it on behalf of the government. Not her personal decision re how much and to whom to give the funds. Probably nicer for the African countries to have her as a guest than our Kev.
Um, sptrawler, she lost her seat at the last election. Not exactly her choice to 'quit politics'.Well this gives us anti Gillard, goon show, haters a morsel.
Maxine McKew, who was parachuted in as a high profile scud, to beat Howard and then quit politics(what a claim to fame)

I'd be interested to read her book, and applaud anything which will encourage Labor's women to fight amongst themselves rather than direct their venom at the Libs, but I'll never forget her triumphant claim of superiority when she ousted John Howard from his seat.
Just another ABC broadcaster, Labor hack, who is now pissed off enough to want to hit back at the machine.
So Gillard is now being accused of sexism by Rudd and McKew. She calls it when she sees it so I hope she gives herself a slap down in parliament next week
