I'd remind you your country per capita is the most overweight in the world. Gillard is overweight. Fact.

Oh, so you're concerned about out PM's health and wellbeing.

I didn't realise that.

I am concerned about anyone's health.
I'm just that kind of guy.

Gillard is overweight.
It's not even something that can be disputed.

Actually, it can be disputed.

This was provided by Maqqa:

http://www.celebritiesheight.com/julia-gillard-height-and-weight/

Julia Gillard Weight?
119 lbs or 54 kg

Julia Gillard Height?
5′ 5½” (166 cm)

That's a BMI of 19.6. which is "Healthy Weight".

I didn't realise that.

Maybe we should also be concerned with Margie Abbott's health as well.
After all Tony seems to parade the daughters out more than the lawfully wedded....

She has a backside on which you could show a movie. Dispute whether it matters or not but she's overweight. She needs to get on a treadmill. Like him or not, Tony Abbott is 1,000 times fitter than her.

The other is a decoy. Given he is a hairdresser, it's akin to picking a wedding planner. Poor choice as decoys go.

54kg?

Yes, 54kg.

That's what she supposedly weighs, according to information provided by Maqqa.

At 166cm tall that gives her a BMI of 19.6, which is in the normal/healthy range. Not overweight at all.

I'm only going by the information that Maqqa provided, which seems to quite clearly destroy his "argument".

Putting on the glasses has not improved her polls so maybe losing weight might

And before any leftards have a go at me for calling Gillard fat - no one minded when Swannie called Hockey fat

? But Hockey IS fat? Are you suggesting it's okay to call anyone fat who isn't in fact fat, but not okay to call someone who is fat, fat?

He was, in fact, clinically obese.
