The Gillard Government

Jump to new
The whole "Gillard is going to resign in the next week" / "Labour will have a new leader by the end of the week" is starting to sound like the boy who cried wolf.

Of course, we all know if you keep saying it it might eventually come true.

Perhaps now I've commented she will make an idiot out of me?
 
While union corruption continues unabated, Gillard and Conroy have set their sights on muzzling the print media that has exposed the union corruption. Without the print media we not would learned about the Gillard/Wilson AWU slush fund skulduggery. Conroy's regulator could simply rule that exposure was not in the public interest.:rolleyes:

Yet the former union officials and industrial lawyers who dominate the Gillard government are not prepared to confront these very real, very serious and very current matters of public interest very close to home. Instead, the factional warlords have turned the Labor Party's sights on to the print media; which has helped to expose these scandals.

One way or another, Labor can't kick the can down the road for ever.

The longer they wait, the greater the pain that will inflicted by the electorate.

She already looks like a loser to me.
 
It is highly likely that no-one wants to take the leadership from her at this point and have history record them as losing the election in September.
 
Gillard is slow train wreck waiting to happen.

I believe this media shamozzle will diminish her authority and if there is to be a change it will have to happen within the next 24 hours.

If she does resign or is pushed over the cliff, I doubt she will hang around the back benches with Kevin 07 and this surely must bring on an early election.

Yes Savva does indeed. In the same edition, Greg Sheridan's piece touches on what so many of us have feared, but it's behind a paywall.

ALP has spread Europe's disease
BY:GREG SHERIDAN, FOREIGN EDITOR From: The Australian March 21, 2013 12:00AM

Six years of Labor government, by this year's election in September, will result in a new Australia. We have contracted the European disease. Labor has taken us towards the most spectacularly unsuccessful model of government in the developed world today. We will have almost all the European pathologies but none of the European security of a big local market and a benign security environment.

Europe's present distress is our future. Everyone knows that part of Europe's problem is excessive welfare. As Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has remarked, Europe has 7 per cent of the world's population, 25 per cent of global gross domestic product and 50 per cent of the world's welfare payments.

Gillard accused Abbott of "not understanding" global economics (people in glass houses)

But more seriously Gillard has "no understanding" of the Australian electorate.

Let me put it in plain English for you Julia:

Australia just wants you to #iss off!!

I think Rudd would be delighted to take the leadership from her, and would move immediately to do so if he had the numbers.
 
The Caucus overall has little confidence in either of its two self-interested gladiators who are again slugging it out.

Their only answer is a third option, but they are clearly struggling there as well.

It's a terrible mess for Labor which will only get worse if they don't act.
