The Gillard Government

[bunyip]

I just love how everyone is paying out on Newman, for reducing the public service.
How can any government reduce spending without reducing public service?
How can the 'normal Australian familly' reduce spending without less excess?
We can all keep spending more than we earn, then we can be like the 'basket cases of europe'.
Some time, someone has to pay the piper.

And the same thing will happen if the Gillard government is turfed out by Abbot .......by necessity he'll tighten the belt. And the unions will launch a bitter campaign against him, and might even succeed in bringing him down after just one term.
Then we'd be back to Labor and more economic irresponsibility and incompetence, just like we've copped from the disastrous Rudd/Gillard experiment.

It’s the Gillard government that the unions should be launching a campaign against for introducing the carbon and mining taxes that can only hurt business and therefore jobs. But the unions won't open their eyes far enough to see that.

I agree with you,.

I really think the gas hub at James Price point is pivotal to the development of WA.

If Barney can't pull it off, we are going to end up being a wasteland.IMO

Not so sure about the waste land bit and I am unsure about James Price Point given its proximity to some really important marine conservation areas.


Both sides would have a similar view on the project (I think but don't actually know for sure) but agree Barnett is more likely to get it over the line.

Ms Gillard's live-in lovers, past and present, have had serious behavioral problems.

AN email obtained exclusively by The Weekend Australian reveals Julia Gillard's partner, Tim Mathieson, sought to involve her office in pressuring a major sporting club to freeze out Tony Abbott.

After attending an AFL clash at the MCG as a guest of the Richmond Football Club, Mr Mathieson emailed its chief executive, Brendon Gale, copying in the Prime Minister's office, to complain about the Opposition Leader's access to the team's inner sanctum and his prominent seating at a pre-game function.

Mr Mathieson demanded that Mr Gale raise the matter with the Prime Minister's chief of staff, Ben Hubbard

I guess the WA election result wasn’t exactly what Gillard and her motley crew were hoping for! LOL

I heard briefly on TV that the Libs defeated Labor in a landslide victory.
Great stuff.....I’m looking forward to the Gillard government being the next bunch of socialist rats to get roasted!

I guess the WA election result wasn’t exactly what Gillard and her motley crew were hoping for! LOL...

But she says she has more to do than worry about the polls - like legislating stuff the majority don't want.

And she legislated her carbon tax this despite a poll three weeks before it's legislation showing clear 57% of voters did NOT want it. If that's not dictatorial and undemocratic, I don't know what is...

And too busy letting boat people in with no papers rather than keep her pre-election promise of stopping the boats. And spending money like a drunken sailor than keep her promise of a surplus. Yeah, no wonder she has no time to bother about poll results - unless, it seems, they are in her favour...

Morgan poll 28th October, 2011:

L-NP (55.5%) LEAD INCREASES OVER ALP (44.5%)
CLEAR MAJORITY (57%) OF AUSTRALIANS OPPOSE CARBON TAX

Great articles and Julia cartoons on pickeringpost!

http://pickeringpost.com/article/just-who-is-this-bloke/997

JUST WHO IS THIS BLOKE?



He can handle a mop and a mullet, thought he was Elvis, was a big noting bikie, owed lots of money in Shepparton and on the Gold Coast, cops found him full of grog when he crashed his car and he dudded his own family out of $80,000.

But friends are adamant he is no pillow biter.

It was 2001 when he first met Julia. She had just been elected to the shadow ministry and had wandered into a Fitzroy salon where Tim was working, just around the corner from 85 Kerr Street.

Of course Julia suffered Tim's usual, well practised pick-up lines. He needn't have bothered because Julia wasn't a particularly good nor a hard catch.

Nor was Tim who already had plenty of form... and plenty of single women.

After a bit of sweaty wrestling in the cot, Tim dumped his regular Shepparton law firm partner, the pretty Jayne Law, for the far less aesthetic Julia.

But unbeknown to divorced father-of-three Tim, it was Julia calling the shots. It was she who dumped Tim for greener pastures where married men browse.

Influential Labor MP colleague Craig Emerson was her next target.

Julia found him attractive but strangely Julia's contact lenses had gone missing at the time.

Anyway, after one agile night with Craig, Tim was a mere memory and Craig's wife and kids mattered no more than Bruce Wilson's had.

The enchanted Craig promptly left his wife and three children for the myopic Julia.

After Julia had bought another set of contact lenses Craig too was dumped.

In 2007 Labor won office and Julia's communist background had rapidly ushered her to the Deputy PM position.

Soon, in a Labor Government bereft of talent, Julia found herself fingered by her old foe the AWU as the one to take out Rudd and set up a union supported radical Left agenda.

Now her coterie of married men partners was a definite no-no and she quickly made a call to the good old jilted, but single and broke, Tim.

The offer of digs at The Lodge sounded great and $250,000 p.a. pocket money seemed a lot of haircuts to Tim.

"You're on", said Tim, "but I don't want to be just a handbag, Jules."

Julia explained that he would be permitted to fly with her in her private plane and meet important people at the Richmond Football Club and that she had a little bell beside her bed and he could be expected to be summoned when needed.

"Ripper", said Tim, "...do I get a little bell too?"

"Nope", said Julia.

But Tim had a more important problem that needed fixing if his wildest dreams of becoming Australia's first bloke were to eventuate.

You see, Tim's poor father had put $30,000 into his son's Shepparton hair salon business and his brother had borrowed $50,000 to invest in the venture.

But Tim had become bored with cutting hair and when staff arrived one Monday morning they found he had cleaned out the till and shot through.

There was also the little matter of $20,000 owed on the Gold Coast.

There were enough skeletons in Julia's cupboard without Tim's indebtedness rearing its head at an inopportune moment.

We have no idea who coughed up the green stuff but a union official got behind the wheel of his car and settled all of Tim's debts in cash.

What else do we need to know about Tim except that he barracks for Richmond?

"Oh yeah, one more thing Jules, can I decide who gets to go into the Tigers' dressing rooms after the game?"

"Of course you can Tim", sighed Julia. "You can even decide the nationality of whoever wants to stick a finger up your bum."

The Australian has reported today that Tim demanded Tony Abbott not be invited into the Tigers' dressing rooms ever again and demanded Richmond CEO Gale raise the matter with Julia's chief of staff, Ben Hubbard.

There ya go... being first bloke certainly gives you clout even if you're not allowed to have your own little bell.

Mmmm, goodness me, what a wanker!

Of course Julia suffered Tim's usual, well practised pick-up lines

The first article I ever read from the Pickering Post was posted somewhere in Aussie Stock Forums. There were many serious allegations in the article about Gillard that may or may not have been true, but I gave no credence to anything written in the article because it was littered with statements like the above that we know the author simply had no way of knowing. I think the first article had statements about the mood Gillard was in when she woke up one morning, something again the author could not have known.

If Pickering wants to be taken seriously then he should stick to facts. If facts are intermixed with fiction, then for safety reasons everything should be assumed to be fiction.

I agree. Although I share Pickering's dislike for Gillard he goes too far with personal insult and I find his little stories with obviously made up details rather childish. I used to like and respect him as a cartoonist but that respect is quickly evaporating.

Agree also. Even if half what is said so maliciously is true, it's not the business of anyone other than the two people concerned. Pickering must be a real grub.

 

[MrBurns]

I never looked at his web site but today I did, I thought this was clever.......

McTERNAN'S CLEVER GOGGLES PLOY

A bit of botox in that forehead, a little cutaneous renewal, a makeup make-over, a new wardrobe of Chanel creations and the old Julia of the Socialist hard Left is almost unrecognisable.

Gone is the hard mouth and cold steely eyes of the Shadow Minister for Education.

Gone is the butch haircut of the deputy Opposition Leader.

Gone is the striped male suit and crumpled shirt of the calculating man-slaying hero of radical feminists.

Now we have the new Julia, the kid friendly Julia who can actually hold a baby and pat a dog.

The reincarnation of Julia is remarkable. The new Julia is the electorally palatable middle ground female ready for an eight month election campaign.

The transformation is almost complete. But there is one problem.

The file clips and pics of our lovely Julia are horrific. She has given us far too many unattractive images of the dark, fringe-dwelling political Julia.

Every time a story is written on her, eager journos search the files for pics to fit the mood, and there are thousands of images that completely negate Julia's new electorally acceptable facade.

So let's pull one of McTernan's tricks out of his bag of devious goodies. A trick he has used before.

Whack a pair of professional looking specs on her. They are unneeded but complete the picture of the new "sophisticated" Julia.

But more importantly, if the Press now wants to appear to portray pictorial integrity, those old dastardly images of Julia can no longer be used, they are obsolete, dated.

McTernan may be a grub, but he's a clever grub.

[sptrawler]

That post is perfect MrBurns.
However McTernan has stuffed it, the non vocal 'average Australian', is over Gillard and Labor.
W.A has shown the greens and labor will be hammered, it will be a landslide, it will be historical.
The only good thing Gillard has done is call a long election date.
It will give everyone something to look forward to, over the winter months.

Me thinks poor Julia will be short lived next week but who ever takes over will be just as bad.

My guess is, they know they are dead men walking, so Gillard will stay.
The independents and greens are gone, big time.
So everyone watches Julia, running round like a chook with its head chopped off.

I wonder how Wilkie, Oakeshott and Windsor are handling their centrelink applications? Only joking they'le pull a pension also.lol

It's an agony for Labor. The PM is a zealot, she'll only go, if at all, kicking and screaming, her fingernails clawing at the furniture. Rudd will only return on his own terms, which would necessitate a humiliating surrender from half of his parliamentary colleagues.

And let's not forget, at that link "..Support for the status quo was strongest among Labor voters..".

 

[MrBurns]

She'll be lucky to last the week, the only downside is that she wont have to face the electorate, she deserves to face the electorate and the public deserve the opportunity to treat her as they have been treated.....with utter contempt.

 

[MrBurns]

It wont be long now..........

 

[Bintang]

................. she deserves to face the electorate and the public deserve the opportunity to treat her as they have been treated.....with utter contempt.

I agree wholeheartedly. I hopes she's stays until the bitter end.
