That photo seems to make it pretty clear that Gillard has become way to emotional in her job. It is almost childish. And yet she likes to compare herself to Margaret Thatcher...

Greg Combet reportedly tried to strike Gillard-dumping deal with Kevin Rudd in exchange for treasurer job

Gillard’s latest feeble attempt to garner support....one of the papers is running a front page photo of her sitting in an armchair, wearing a very conservative dress, a dog lounging at her feet as she knits a garment for the coming royal baby. And another one of her cradling several balls of wool in her arms, much the same as a woman would cradle a baby.
The headlines appropriately say ‘NEEDLES AND SPIN’.
Poor old Gillard apparently thinks she’ll increase her support by portraying herself as a down to earth homebody who’s doing something nice for a popular royal couple. Yet another error of judgment from her and those who advise her.

Obviously the numerous equally transparent and nauseating references to "Game of Thrones" wasn't working......

The femanzi wont be happy.
Yep spin, the public arent stupid.
We are being broadcast all over the world with this internal fighting in labor.
They must be all misogynist in her eyes for wanting her out,.

Reading his statement on Kevin Rudd, it should be funny listening to the fresh spin from England.
He said Kev should "piss, or get off the pot".
Younger Aussies will be wondering what going to the toilet has to do with giving up mull.
This election result will hit World headlines, it will be bigger than the mysogyny speach.

Gillard will do this clown off a break. At the end of this week he will be yesterday's man. Compared to Gillard he is spineless. He wants to destroy Gillard, but she wants to destroy Australia. This week's scorched earth policy, with all the nasty bills going through, will put a brake on any recovery under Abbott. The cupboard will be bare.

McTernan is on the ball, he has presented the fair Julia as Madame Defarge waiting for Rudd's head to roll.

Joan d'Arc, strident gender warrior, spins on a dime and becomes ..Martha Stewart? I'm finding it hard to keep up.
Is there a tiny bundle of joy on the way at the Lodge? That 6 months of paid parental leave will be a tidy sum on her salary.
Meanwhile the Greens, that vaunted party of consultation and free speech - are furiously guillotining Bills through the parliament. As rapidly as their influence and relevance wanes, except in the schools and campuses, where they reign.

Fair dinkum what must people think
Absolutely oblivious to public opinion.
I agree and it will be seen through by most people. But if ever an occasion when The Coalition should leave well enough alone and not comment, this is it. I see Pyne just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Every time I think she has hit the bottom of the spin barrel, she manages to come up with something worse again!
Someone must have figured out that the sexism stuff wasn't working, and recommended the warm homemaker image.
All the balls of wool and the knitting just look ridiculous. She doesn't even hold the knitting needles as a genuine knitter would!
If she were to salvage even a trace of dignity she would call an immediate election. That would solve the Rudd problem and avoid causing any more embarrassment to herself and the nation.

I don't think forcing the dog into the picture was a good idea either - he doesn't look like he wants to be there!
I understand this photo shoot took 5 hours - meanwhile our borders remain unsecured and debt keeps rising. Shameful, really.
Paul Murray explains that the Women's weekly didn't want to do this but Gillard and her "457 spin doctor" insisted and they have put a note to that effect in the top right hand corner of the Telegraph where her picture is full front page:
More here on it all:

Christopher Pyne summed up the situation nicely by saying ‘We know the Prime Minister is pretty good at spinning a yarn, and now we have visual proof of it!’

To big....
The dogs name is Tim.
Seriously, she has no judgement whatsoever did she think women would like that. dutifully knitting like in days of old ?
That kangaroo (not jacket) will hit the bin the minute it arrives at the Palace.
