hell yeah the hammer has hit the thumb.
bob brown has the country by the bolls and we focus on kevin plastic rudd (read what body language experts are saying) - julia is but a puppet who is inevitably going to outlive her usefullness.
question is - how long will it take to recover from this mess? and can the incoming beancounters do it ? i reckon there is a schitload of concealed financial disaster that awaits ANY alternative goverment.
according to the current mob - little johnny left the country so badly managed and in debt that they might need 3 to 4 terms in government to fix it.
Im migrating to greece now.

Prime Muppet could'nt lie straight in bed...
Julia Gillard’s response to Tony Abbott during yesterday’s question time:
He comes into this Parliament having survived his own leadership issues by one vote.
In fact, Abbott obtained leadership of the Liberal party by one vote, way back in 2009. Since then he’s done rather well...
...They’ve evidently forgotten that he was re-elected unopposed just one year later, and is now Kevin Rudd’s tip to become the next Prime Minister.

Well I suppose we could exchange Turnbull for Rudd. But I don't know what sort of bargain we would get. Abbott will do just fine, at least the bloke has been living amongst real people, not just unionists. That should help. Rugby coach,fire fighter, lifesaver, indigenous supporter (a real one) Rhodes Scholar, a degree in economics (that will help) knows the trials of living with kids, (and a missus) he is fair more likely to connect with us then the ranga and her hair dresser. He could not be any worse, he seriously could not be, nobody could be.
Rhodes Scholar
I don't particularly like Gillard, Rudd or Abbott but why is Australia (pushed by the media) so intent on personal attacks, Juliar the unmarried, hairdressing loving ranga, Tony Mad Monk Abbott and Rudd the psycho.
Also interesting that Julia, the woman, gets attacked the most personally and viciously by the older demographic. Maybe that generation didn't accept sexual equality so well after all?
There is plenty to criticise them all on policy and politics wise. Why do we as a nation keep sinking to the lowest level possible?
Nick X for PM!

New ALP tactic in question time.
As if "Dorathy Dixer's" weren't bad enough, Labor have now resorted to asking supplementary's to their own inane questions in The House of Representatives.
Anything to stop the other side asking awkward questions by wasting time.
King Rat showed his colours today by a ruling that allowed Gillard to close down question time while Abbott was calling for a cessation of standing orders.

dirty biz...
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 !!!
ps ..tooheys. Flick us back a post from Greece. Dont forget to take yr gas mask, helmet and flak jacket... things could get nasty.
Street theatre gets pretty active there I see on TV.

Nunc est bibendum
Then you're either not very old or haven't followed politics for more than a couple of years. John Howard copped it far more frequently and with heaps more venom than what has been directed at Julia Gillard.

He's a Rhodes Scholar in theology.
Seriously, the parents of these halfwits should be shot for bringing into the world such vile human beings. No amount of degrees will change the fact that these clowns are bottom of the food chain sewer dwellers.

Well if its in theology that might help. Because when the govt changes they are going to inherit the black hole of Calcutta, and prayers will be needed amongst other things.

mcgrath50, how did yer work that out ?
"Fear of strong, outspoken women" err, aroa... nothin to do with "woman", its all to do with the fact she lied, she just outright lied to the voters to get herself elected. she just dont give a damn about the voters and she's just plain incompetent - and she's the best the labore muppets have got, male or female..
Here's some comments from a Woman...
...At times of high emotions, sometimes you learn more from a person’s misstatements than from what they mean to say. These Freudian slips are said by psychoanalysts to reveal hidden thoughts and motivations...
...Gillard had her own telling Freudian slip, in the first minute of her crucial first speech after winning the leadership on Monday.
She meant to say that “you, the Australian people” can expect to be at the centre of everything government does. She accidentally got it the other way around. That is, government at the centre of everything you do.
“You, the Australian people, rightly expect government to focus on you, for government to be at the centre of everything we ... “ Gillard began, before realising her error and rephrasing: “For you to be at the centre of everything that government does.”
That about sums up her philosophy. And her problem.
All the luck in the world won’t help.

government at the centre of everything you do. Julia Gillard
government at the centre of everything you do.
The video I posted above, (meant to be a joke) does show the encumbered government does think it is at the centre of everything we do, its all me me me stuff... pretending that they understand all our needs until someone invites them to a club somewhere close to a boarding gate at an airport. From this point on it all gets lost....
