I'm with Mac 50 re Julia. I'm not into politics, but I reckon some of the media and the (sick) "jokes" going around are plain rude, vitriolic and show sure signs of "femophobia".(Fear of strong, outspoken women) Lots of males in this country need to get with Century 21 and re-think their attitudes to women.
I can't recall such meaness directed at any politician to such a degree, let alone a PM.
My old granny always used to say..."If you can say anything nice, dont say anthing at all"
OK,... we can be severely critical, but decorum est.?
Labor, Liberal... whatever the party, its all about the getting and holding of POWER. They all waste such collosal amounts of taxpayers money, in any other country there would be a revolution.!!
Trouble is in Oz we are all too well off and apathetic to go with it.
Rudd, Abbott, Gillard at al... I'm no fan of any.
In this complusory "democracy" (read bureaucracy), voting should be optional.
And as for A Albeenease.. aw schucks!!!
We missed out there !!!
