Australian Politics Forum - Did Gillard have absolute power?

Maqqa Gold Member Offline 14% - that low?! Posts: 16000	Did Gillard have absolute power? Jun 30^th, 2013 at 6:18pm We know that Gillard went back on her pre-election promise "There will be no carbon tax...." But did she make this decision and other disastrous decisions all by her lonesome self? Were others to blame? There are 101 people in Caucus - how many of these are to be blamed?!

Reply #1 - Jun 30^th, 2013 at 6:22pm Sssooo why is Mr Abbott afraid to debate Mr Rudd on the economy? The product of Sydneys most exclusive private schools and an Oxford graduate should have no problem wiping the floor with a publicly educated wanna be like Kevin 07 so i wonder why Mr Abbott is so afraid.

Interesting to see the knuckleheads harking back to the days when one quote was all they ever needed:

THERE WILL BE NO CARBON TAX UNDER A GOVERNMENT I LEAD.

Now, not only do we have a carbon tax, no one notices it, many want to keep it, and its chief protagonist - and witch - has been ditched.

You’re going to have to use your brain a little harder from here on in, Maqqa. If that’s all you’ve got, we shouldn’t even bother with the election.

Should we discuss the witch ditching policy in this thread, or should we start another one?

Reply #10 - Jun 30^th, 2013 at 7:30pm If you cannot answer the question then it's obvious lefties too afraid to admit that the Labor party is a dictatorship under Gillard It was a dictatorship under Rudd and it was a dictatorship under Gillard And the ALP just elected the same dictator to replace a dictator

Reply #14 - Jun 30^th, 2013 at 7:56pm So you are prepared to start name calling but not to answer the question It is common practice in Australian psyche that when the team is doing badly - sack the coach The coach is the scapegoat Still the same team
