Julia has been exceptionally strong,
579,
That our PM is, no matter how right or wrong. To be wrong you don't have to be bad. You just need to lack foresight but keep telling everyone you have it.
I agree that the present hung Parliament is a dog so to speck but that is exactly the point of all my comments. The one reason we have this hung Parliament is because of people who support incompetence no matter what. If those supporters had one ounce of integrity & sit back & think "hey, this mob's running our country into the ground I'd better don't support what they're doing' then you wouldn't have a hung Parliament. It's you, the supporter of incompetence who has the direction of the country in their hands. No-one can do a decent job with a hung Parliament. Julia Gillard is not to blame for this, you , ALP supporters are the cause. Because you supporters want the cake & eat it too the ALP hierarchy is unable to please you except by denying the workers & giving to the academic bureaucrat hangers on.

579,
Yeah, keep it going old son, you are doing great.

Showing the intelectual capacity of those supporting the present government.

Now Belly has it right. Has no time for the PM and calls some other ALP members maggots and grubs. I suggest he may be a bit older and wiser, you should take note.

Everyone is allowed their opinion, Belly is in a position of internal information, politics is grubby, on all sides. In the face of adversity this lady is doing very very well. Running the country into the ground, what does that mean, if you don't agree so be it, i don't think the country will be run into the ground. The NBN is a piece of infrastructure much needed, incentive to get of oil and coal, with carbon tax, mining tax, they are all glad they now which way to plan ahead. The only ones whining about such things is the ones it doesn't apply to.

579,
you obviously don't have to perform for getting paid.

Indy please take your time,I am writing slowly to assist you.
Rather than get paid I get dumped, for daring to insist unions and ALP give control back to members.
Banjo
Right saying sorry
wrong dumping Rudd, not thinking they should say why.
Wrong Gillard she has no right to be other than a minister
right GFC very right.
Right ending work choices
Right flood levee
right pension raises
right plans for education reforms
right tax on coal and mining.
right planned safety net income for disabled.
Wrong childlike cash for clunkers it never went fuel watch grocery watch.
RIGHT carbon tax.
right getting this and more while confronted by the worst conservative team in our country's history.

Belly,
most of these policies were in place before. What is new is the pink batt fiasco, the un-economic stimulus, the live export tragedy, the disintegration of Law & Order, every rate you can think of is going through the roof, hospitals are mismanaged with impunity, Indigenous affairs have derailed, jobs are going overseas at an alarming rate etc etc. Time to bring the gravy train to a stop & put in a (slightly) more responsible gang calling themselves Government.
That last Parliamentarian pay rise should be removed. No parliamentarian should get the money they do as long as unemployment is above 1percent.
