"Punch" article words you quote were referring to Julia Gillard knifing Kevin Rudd - nothing to do with harming Julia. What is that you are saying about honest talk, hmmmm? Steve Mount : 03 May 2012 6:01:34pm "Why do WE hate...?". Don't include me in you royal 'we', mate. I consider Gillard unsuitable as PM because she is ego-driven warrior, who fights, not for Australia, or the ALP, but for her own for prestige. A glossy, unrealisticly photoshopped spread in a weekly magazine demonstrated that. Good grief, I cringed. What was she thinking? Her chess manoeuvers, and hot potato betrayal treatment, of Wilkie and Slipper were appalling. Would I trust this PM with my inner self? No way. "There will be no carbon tax....". Demonstrably, a lie. As for the mention of Howard, he was just as bad, with his illegal warmongering in Iraq, and the constant BS that was preached about it. What an attrocious episode that was. "It will be months, not years....'. Demonstrably, a lie. It has nothing to do with gender. Political expedience, for survival, is well and good, but it all goes down in history, and the self-betrayals do not go unnoticed. A 'good government that has lost its way'? Not this time, but a good government that has lost its honour. gary ashon : CJ Dickinson : 03 May 2012 5:50:55pm Well written, and truly analysed, Tim. Anyway, do not worry, all the right wing media and sexist attackers may have their field day.
