My thoughts on Gillard precisely!

Well if you think that about Gillard then you must think it about every other politician.
So then whats the point of focusing on one, or one party.
When they are all the same.
Focus on the system.
Politicians are only meant to act as microphones for the public, so the public needs to whip them back into line so that is what they do.
If the system was running like it is meant to it would not matter one bit what individual is in office or whatever.

You may think I am wrong but one thing is for sure and that is that the current system and fighting like rabid dogs is not getting us anywhere apart from a place without a sign called shyt creek.

He is a known lier so much for his catholic upbringing

If you call Abbott a liar, what does that make Gillard?

Gillard told one lie accord to your mob. How many as Abbott told?

That he will repeal the carbon tax.

Sorta agree with most of that.

I hate all the pricks and wish they would just STF up and work on better policies for Australia.

Won't happen, of course, political parties aren't there to work together.

In Canberra there's nothing more frustrating for press gallery journalists than trying to pin down Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, even though he makes himself available almost every parliamentary sitting day.

Abbott very rarely fronts a full news conference in Canberra, preferring to do "doorstops" at staged events outside Parliament House. These are at a place where the Opposition Leader can run a line on the carbon tax and then take a few questions.

There are not many - he will cut the session short by just walking away if questioning turns to things he doesn't want to talk about. Also, because these events are outside Parliament House, only a small number of journalists attend, as most have time and filing pressures and can't afford the hour necessary to get to and from what is primarily a picture opportunity.

As well as not fronting major news conferences, Abbott avoids longer-form interviews. He hasn't appeared on Cassidy's Insiders since the beginning of last year - and it's been the same time since he did an interview with Lateline.

His appearances on the ABC's 7.30 are confined to specific events so that more general questioning is kept to a minimum, and it's a long time since Abbott has conducted a longer interview with any of the major newspapers.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard does at least give news conferences in Canberra when she takes questions until the reporters run dry, and she will appear on shows such as Lateline, Four Corners (to her regret) and the hour-long Q&A.

Usually you learn something about Gillard when she subjects herself to this form of questioning - for better or for worse, as far as she's concerned.

It should be a serious concern that the man who wants to be prime minister and, the polls say, is short odds to achieve that goal, doesn't give longer, searching interviews.

The fact Abbott and his advisers have a deliberate policy to avoid scrutiny should be a major concern for all who take an interest in our national public life.

Maybe that's because the press is dominated by left wing elites who are constantly trying to skewer Abbott???

He'd a good man who has worked hard and has good conservative values. He'll set the country right, but unfortunately will have to fix Labor's mess as a first priority.

Julia Gillard - twice selected, never elected.

We're still paying for the Whitlam Government.

Yes Labor should be ashamed.

Low Unemployment and Economic Growth after the worst GFC since the Depression ... what the hell does Labor think they are doing.

Maybe because his lies are reported and repeated daily month after month in the popular (propoganda) media as being factual.

Not to mention being constantly parrotted on here and on other forums by extreme right-wing shills.

You know who you are.

As do we....sadly Sad

Unlike (not) neutral centrists like you and smithy, hey Kat?

And what happened to your gender?

Yes, Matty. It really is amazing how many people are changing their gender at the moment.

That's true, Shane B. I know you're new to this forum, but have you heard of Matty yet? He'll be running in the next election in a yet to be decided seat. He has always gotten what he wants, and has never had to work too hard for it either.

He'll be working for the Coalition to fix Labor's mess as a first priority. That's Liberal policy: ending the Labor waste.

Others will be working on stopping the boats and ending the carbon tax. I think Phallic Baldwin will be working on the boats issue. He's waiting until Matty gets into government first.

That just leaves the carbon tax, but this shouldn't be too hard. We'll just need another election and we should be right. We'll leave that one for Mr Abbott.

Shane B, if you should go to one of matty's meetings at Ryde be careful, although he's engaged to a sweet little thing he calls angeleyes, he has had close relationships in the past with gorgeous young men, so if you want to hang onto your self respect I suggest you take his sweet talk with a grain of salt. I can say these things because I'm like an aunty to matty, and I've been invited to the wedding, it will be fabulous with all the well known politicians in attendance, Julia and Tim too I believe, if he can find a waistcoat to fit, very formal affair, oh yes.
