The Gillard Government

Jump to new

This was good for a laugh, the first time it was posted..........now it is becoming like one of those jokes David Koch tries to tell on sunrise......boring.
Don't get me wrong, I think she is up the proverbial creek without a paddle with the Carbon Tax debacle but this joke has been well and truly worked over.
 
News footage this morning of PM Gillard addressing Congress as little kids in the primary school. In a red jacket, which in the US is the Republican colour.

Congress applauded wildly the 'friend of America' lines, little realizing Gillard's true political leanings, which are much closer to left-wing socialist anti-Americanism.

Americans would not abide her true politics. In fact, if she was a country they would invade her in the name of regime change.
 

"Real mates talk straight" she said. Yeah right! Like "There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead".
 
Usually the PM"s spouse hangs out with the President's wife. Tim has to settle for Beasley's spouse to watch Julia perform for Congress.

This is another nail in the coffin of the Gillard government.

I have to agree with the opposition, this is going too far down the totalitarian road for my liking.

I saw a report from the US not long ago stating that while more women were enroling to vote, they were not proportionally increasing their vote for women politicians. I think the same attitude exists for employment . I've heard a lot of women say they prefer to work under male supervision/boss. There seems to be a bit of a lack of respect in the capability, more resentment and 'bitchiness' between a lot of women and female supervisors/bosses.

I think some people just like playing the victim as an excuse for their poor(er) skills and committment to a position and some pollies like pandering to them.

Is ther a lot of votes to be got from far left feminists?

What about the jobs that females now dominate because of laws that discriminate against males, like school teachers! Males have left the profession in droves mainly because of ridiculous 'sexual misconduct' laws that put males in a largely untenable position should someone make a complaint... even malicious complaint.

Absolutely agree. It will just result in people being promoted to positions for which they are not properly qualified.

Women achieve nothing in real terms if they are not promoted on their capacity and merit. Imo it's actually patronising to women to have quotas or any other device which essentially ignores how capable they are.

Is this story really for real?

Every time something like this is not refused by the public another crazier totalitarian-ish law comes in later. It's the totalitarian tiptoe that in the long run takes away liberty and real freedoms. So it seems business owners who create the jobs have to take the risk of running a business, but cannot choose who they really need or want. Their choice has been taken away from them.

Carbon Dioxide tax seems weird too.
 
Many thanks to the posters above.

What about this from the NSW Premier leading into the elections:
This kind of bitter divisiveness does no favours to women. And no favours to Premier Keneally. All it does is discredit the cause of genuine equality. As opposed to Joe Hockey style pandering, or the Kate Ellis embarrassing notion of quotas.

Never a truer word spoken. Work hard, earn respect, and stop demonizing men. Capable women are going far in today's world.
 

This one doing the email rounds here - apologies if it's an old one...:

Julia Gillard was in a hot air balloon and realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below.

She descended a bit more and shouted: 'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised Bob Brown I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am.'

The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'

'You must be an Engineer,' said Julia.

'I am,' replied the man, 'how did you know?'

'Well,' answered Julia, 'everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip by your talk.'

The man below responded, 'You must be our PM.'

'I am,' replied Julia, 'but how did you know?'

'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my bloody fault.​

Tim looks a very tired man in that photo with bags under his eyes. I sometimes wonder what he makes of all the carryings on of his partner.
 

The gender police are taking over.

I agree with this. It's a bit like the anti discrimination laws where a person of anglo saxon descent will be passed over for a job when a person of ethnic background applies for the same role. You only have to look at the public service to see the disproportionate numbers of non anglo saxons employed in relation to their percentage of the actual population.

Promotion of any-one based on gender rather than skills required will stuff up more than it will fix.

I suddenly realised that this picture does tell a story.



What do you see in that awful woman, Tim?

Tell ya what...Jules is kicking goals in the US at the moment. My God I've never seen such a positive reception. Was it 8 standing ovations??

She topped it off with a teary message "Americans can do anything" lol. Man they loved that. Congress was all sobbing.

While I'm not a fan of hers, I can only congratulate her for winning over everyone like she has. Amazing.
 

That's because they all thought Ronald McDonald was addressing them for the last time!

It's time to go, Ronald McDonald

A coalition of health professionals, parents and corporate accountability advocates is calling for Ronald McDonald to retire as a spokesman for the world’s largest restaurant chain, saying he has too much influence on kids.

Well, she might be awkward, physically unattractive, have a drone of a voice and be a horrible dresser, but success is success. I know it doesn't make up for all the bad stuff, but I'm very mpressed with this display of harmonious international relations.
 

I concur. She is in esteemed company.

Only three other Australian prime ministers, Messrs Menzies, Hawke and Howard, have had the honour of addressing congress.

Julia Gillard did cover a lot of territory. She expressed faith in the mission in Afghanistan. She also endorsed the US stance on a range of international issues from Iran, Israel and China to the Middle East.

For this I am in agreeance. Truly remarkable piece of statesmanship.
