And dear shadow,

If you have nothing better to offer than a childish epithet like, "Juliar" which you begged, borrowed or stole from good old head-on-a-stick Alan Jones, then you have little to contribute indeed.
Cheers,
Anthony

Here's a thought, Greg Combet will nominate and split the Rudd / Gillard vote. A Labor coalition / truce between the factional head kickers and the true believers. A Labor Troika.

Ant,

The nickname Juliar is particularly apt, as her reputation for broken promises, back flips and back stabbing is now well established. Considering she advised Rudd not to pursue the ETS and promised the electorate no carbon tax, how is that going?

Similarly if all you can do is reel off the labor party line of half truths, then you have very little to contribute.

I see that you didn't mention my comment that Rudd is probably saving his big guns until last.

Hi Shadow Minister,
I have no particular barrow to push for Gillard, but I'm fascinated by your defence of the epithet "Juliar".

So, I have three questions to put to you.

1. Can you name a single political leader who has not lied about his or her policy intent at one time or another?

2. Where was your passion for political honesty and where was your ourtrage when Howard knowingly lied to take us into the Iraq war in which Australian soldiers were killed, and when Howard knowingly lied about refugees throwing children overboard, given that his having lied was proven beyond dispute long ago?

3. Why then do you seek to hold Gillard to a higher standard of political integrity than than any other Australian Prime Minister?

I would also note the irony that Alan Jones, who is generally credited with first using that particular insult, is himself a proven liar, as demonstrated by the Cash For Comments investigation and subsequent finding against him, among many other things.

BTW, my apolgies about the abreviation of your user name - poor proofreading, my bad.

Cheers,
Anthony

Monday the 27th February: Rumble in the Jungle?

More like feather dusters at 10 paces.

Albenese has thrown his bolshi wieght behind Rudd, clearly the whole event is staged managed for bolster Gillard's cred. (or is this it?

Make not mistake, Rudd's hubris is real, he truly believes he is the Mesiah, or a modern day Dietrich Bonhoeffer even.

The question for Labor is how to use this momentum to their advantage, especially in the state of Qld where Bligh is floundering.

Another butchering of Rudd will only compound what many already think of both Gillard and Labor.

Ant,

Thanks for acknowledging that Julia Gillard is a liar, Your examples are either conjecture on your part or simply comparing apples with oranges.

The sheer breath taking audacity of Juliar's deceit has never been equalled. Breaking a solemn promise to electorate on the carbon tax within weeks has never been equalled, neither was the contract signed with Wilkie.

As for your half truths on the "successes" of Labor, the polls show that most of the voters are not stupid enough to buy it. Abbott is now clearly the preferred PM.
