The Gillard Government

Jump to new
The more the government refuse to answer, the more they implicate themselves in a cover up.
Misappropriation of funds ends up as theft one way or another, the more they try to hide doumentation, the more guilty they appear.
From the sound of the auditor it would appear there is a lot of questions to be answered regarding lost documentation.
No matter what happens it makes the government look bad by their backing of some very unsavory behaviour.

Andrew Robb branded Thomson in parliament as a thief and a liar, but Juliar thinks he is her kind of guy. She may be right.

Coalition frontbencher Andrew Robb last night told parliament the Government's support for Mr Thomson was "sickening".

"Look at the evidence that comes out ... that he has lied, that he is a thief, yet the prime minister stands up here daily and supports (him)," he said.

Julia Gillard back to rock-bottom: Newspoll

Labor's primary vote has dropped back to its lowest level on record of 27 per cent, with the Coalition unchanged on 47 per cent.

That is, worse than Rudd, and equal to Keating at his lowest. Where is the 'good government lost it's way' rhetoric now. This tragic all-consuming lust for power, can it conceivably bring the office any lower.

It's even worse for Gillard Labor when one considers Tony Abbott's personal ratings also went backwards.

It's reached the point now that even when the Coalition lose, Labor can't win.

Agree. Australian politics is in a sad state atm.

The government would have been better off coming out and taking a hardline stance on this and sacking Thompson straight off the bat. They may have lost the by-election and government but at least they would have the moral high ground and done the right thing. Now they have lost any chance of retaining office at the next election.

Julia Gillard is going to go down as our first female PM and probably our worst PM ever. Might set the female movement back decades:p::D, has certainly set labor back decades.
 
Appearing more and more the P.M. is a spokesperson rather than decision maker. Got her by the short (long?) and curlies.

You have got that 100% correct.
She believes that more exposure by her will revieve her low polls rating.
Sorry that will not happen.
No doubt that you would have realised that we are seeing less and less of her ministers.

This is the downfall of an egoistic leader.

Julia would regain some of her polls rating if she delegated more. However in doing so the Labor polls would decline.

So she is up the creek.

With breathless anticipation the crowd awaits the unveiling of the Julia Gillard Statue.

Head on the hit nail Wysiwyg :)

Make no mistake, a woman PM can be great for our country, especially when war beckons. It's just that the tawdry union officials (as distinct from the members), and (erkk!) Labor - well on executive capacity they're not supplying any Gail Kellys, if you know what I mean.

And anyway, why should the genuinely talented women (as distinct from the boilersuited excuse-makers) take a pay cut anyway?

Graham Richardson captures the mood quite well in this article.

"Craig Thomson is the PM's ticking time bomb"

What really disappoints is Labor's apparent inability to talk to ordinary voters in a manner they understand. Talking to the far-flung suburbs of our great cities was easy for the likes of Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and, dare I say, Kevin Rudd (at least while he was campaigning to become prime minister).

Labors inability to get the basics right


They just don't seem to get that in the aforementioned suburbs nobody feels that things are good. People look at rising costs of living and shake their heads. Electricity prices have rocketed up so fast that many small businesses and households find it difficult to keep up with the payments. Similarly every time they go to the butchers, or the fruit and vegetable shop or the supermarket, they shake their heads in dismay.

Interesting that he didn't mention Abbott being a tosser :)
