It's funny, since Julia's spray the whole debate has lost steam.
I think she has certainly polarised the voters, it will be interesting to see if she has played a winner.
There might also be a lesson in the very peculiar improvement in sentiment toward her from Australian men following her infamous misogyny speech. Hard to know what it is.Romney managed to alienate the majority of American women. Gillard managed to alienate the majority of Australian men, and is still boasting about it. There is a lesson in this.

I think most voters are over the crap, Julia brought that to fruition with the misogyny speach.
Most Australians had never heard of misogyny, let alone knew Abbott was afflicted with it.
Like I said earlier, I think most Australians just want to go to the polls.
You've fallen for the spin.I think most voters are over the crap, Julia brought that to fruition with the misogyny speach.

You've fallen for the spin.
He was never afflicted with it.

Gillard launches royal commission into child abuse
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced the creation of a national royal commission into institutional responses to instances of child sexual abuse.
The decision was taken at a meeting of federal cabinet this afternoon.
Ms Gillard had been under pressure to act following growing calls for a national inquiry into explosive allegations by a senior New South Wales police investigator that the Catholic Church covered up evidence involving paedophile priests.
A number of senior Labor MPs, as well as key independents, had already voiced their support for action on a national scale.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott also declared his support for a "wide-ranging" royal commission into child sex abuse but said it should not just focus on claims involving the Catholic Church.

As Opposition Leader only, Mr Abbott cannot call a Royal Commission.I cant help but think Gilard jumped on this to stop Abbott taking the front running, she is chasing the ratings above all else.
Why? Do you want all those other institutions, charged with the care of vulnerable children, to be ignored for their sexual, physical and emotional abuse of those children?Whats more I think Abbott was right, this should have been about the Catholic Church only, there's enough there to keep a Royal Commission going for 12 months at least.
One of the independents (Tony Windsor I think it was) started banging on about this over the weekend.As Opposition Leader only, Mr Abbott cannot call a Royal Commission.
Imo Ms Gillard deserves credit for being decisive about this and acting rapidly following Det Insp Fox's whistleblowing on Lateline.
