In her mind she has a choice of two.
One across the chamber and the other on her own backbench.

Can't stand gillard nor labor, but even I find this distasteful. I personally think no other PM would be subject to such standards.
Whilst she and her party deserve everything they will get handed to them in the polls, and it's not too often I find anything via pollies over the line, this one does cross the personal line.

Totally agree.
There is enough ammunition to hammer the Gillard government without stooping to this level.
BigDogs mate Larry Pickering is just a "big cat".

We don't want to be misogynist now, if we can talk about Thompsons exploits no reason why Gillard shouldn't get the same treatment.
Women are equal just ask Gillard.

Ya reckon?
Off the top of my head I can recall rumours that Comrade Keating had jumped the fence.
And surely unfair accusations of misogyny fall into the same gutter level... ad that was done IN parliament ffs.

Bigdog, what exactly is your purpose in this irrelevant account?
Much as I dislike what Ms Gillard is doing to the country, and much as I abhor her hypocrisy and self interest, her personal life is her own and none of your or my business.

Julia,
what about the misogynist rant what about all the delving into all politicians personal lives, this is no different,
The only difference is Gillard is a woman, if this was a bloke no one would care............right ?
When you're a politician your personal life is public property, like it or not.

But unfortunately, society's double standards attach different connotations to sexual morality.

That will never change, racism will never be eradicated, bullying against the fat kid will never go away......that's life, you will never change natural human behaviour in some areas.

Then why play a role in perpetuating it?
+ 1 Burnsie. It certainly is not becoming of a sitting Prime Minister or a senior Minister of Governemnt to be jumping in and out of bed with different married men. She has not set a very good example to young people

What was said about Gillard is no different to what would be said about a male leader so what's the issue ?

With the pro Labor newspapers, starting to print negative sentiment towards this government, they had better get the May budget right.
If they stuff it up as usual, it will be difficult to stop the election being brought forward.IMO

To be fair to Gillard.
1. The NIDS is long overdue.
2. Increasing super to 12% of wages is long overdue.
For the life of me I cannot think of anything else the poor woman has achieved.
On the downside she has.
1. Emasculated the talent in her Cabinet.
2. Turned our youth away from politics.
3. Entrenched the power of misogynist party officials and union leaders in their entitlement.
4. Promoted lacklustre people beyond their capability.
5. Ensured that the ALP will never ever have a worker as a MHR or in the Senate.

When you're PM your behaviour goes to credibility and moral standards, ie: if you'll cheat on a partner or jump from bed to bed don't expect that person to be moral when it comes to the running of Govt in Australia.

That was inappropriate and ill judged.
So is any comment about Ms Gillard's personal preferences.
So I'm being entirely consistent in believing neither behaviour has any valid place in political commentary.
If Gillard et al were doing a good job of running the country, no one would care about their personal relationships. I'm less than impressed by the hairdresser, but it's none of my business. I only care about the mess she is making of Australia.
