<Julia's 'misogyny' attack? Pure 'combative' personality to the fore>

More like gutter tactics previously unthinkable for a Prime Minister or ministers. Keating was caustic and an opponent to be reckoned with, but there were places he wouldn't go. He would never stoop to that low.

Gillard has dragged the most senior representative position in the land through the sewer. In abusing the opposition leader as a misogynist she insulted all men who have similarly been open to such gross feminist attacks. Women have shown that they do not believe that of Abbott and they certainly do not support such abuse of men. Gillard and women voters have parted company, permanently. They see through her and probably always did. That is after the electorate, both men and women, gave her so much rope.

No wonder we get such dreadful governments when anyone feels sorry for Obama, the fool destroying US industry, while pouring taxpayer money into the pockets of the green industry hypocrite. He should be locked up for payola.

Then to suggest Bob Car, the worst premier NSW has suffered in a century, & that Wong twit, I'm at a loss for words.

Hasbeen, your myopic views are based on lack of information and/or poor education, total misunderstanding and prejudice. What you say about Bob Carr is an absolute farce! The worst NSW State Premier we ever had was Robert Askin who ruled over a period of intense corruption and died leaving an inexplicable estate of more than 14 Million dollars. Of course, the tone of your comments indicates that you are a bit too young to remember Robert Askin or Bob Carr as Premier, am I right? Bob Carr has all the virtues completely lacking in the Mad Monk, Abbott, ie he is extremely intelligent, articulate and has a vast and exemplary record as NSW Premier. He led the Labor Party in New South Wales for seventeen years, ten of them as premier—the longest anyone has served continuously in that office. Among the achievements during his premiership were the custodianship of the most successful Olympic Games ‘ever’; the retirement of $12 billion of public debt; the creation of 350 national parks; reform of tort law and the police service; and the improvements in literacy placing NSW school students among the best-performing in the world (see Wanna & Williams 2005; West & Morris 2003).

(continued)
Moreover, through Bob Carr's fusion of economic discipline and piecemeal legislative reform, Carr provided a model of success for Labor state and territory premiers across the country. Bob Carr is a life-long academic who has a wide range of interests that extend to the arts and literacy. Unlike the incomparable red-neck fool, Abbott, Bob Carr would NOT be an embarrassment on the world stage. The only politician in this country that has a worse record for "foot in mouth" episodes based on unadulterated ignorance, is Julie Bishop (God help us!). It seems that Tony Abbott has his biggest fan base in Queensland .. the same State where the overwhelming majority of gullibles thought the unbelievable parochial and corrupt Jo Bjelke Peterson and Russ Hinze were the ants pants ... Mmmmm, enough said! Your constant rant against Julia Gillard, once again, is completely unfounded. You accuse Julia Gillard of being a liar when Tony Abbott is the MOTHER AND FATHER of all liars.

My, my, Shadow and Hasbeen, Carr corrupt? When did NSW have a more stable state government, Labor or Lib/Nat, before or after Carr? And, are we forgetting the Labor machine pulling strings behind the scenes during Carr's or any other Labor state administration? Where were the McDonalds or Obedes during Carr? Or the likes of the state electricity privatisation fiasco? Carr may have supported a few too many toll road developments, but at least he didn't leave NSW in a total mess.

And, Penny Wong? She doesn't Invent Treasury policy or Fabricate hair-brained Batts or Education Exotica (they're down to the feeble minded Julia and Wayne - Blipwoman and Riband), but Penny sure punches above her weight, and is as steadfast as the North Star. There is one woman who does indeed have balls, and she knows how to swing em.

Poor old Barack; inherited a horrendous Republican mess courtesy of the illustrious nincompoop George of the Jungle (who was led by the nose to the GFC cliff, and sat dumbstruck by 9/11), but Barack has the temerity, the gall, to strive to live up to his convictions and his election promises despite a not so competent Democratic backing and a furiously uncooperative (and more recently outright psychopathic) Republican opposition. Yes, he took Kyoto more seriously than most of the lip-service hypocrites, and backed some dodgy 'Green' endeavors - which were ultimately managed to fail by their true-blue Capitalist (how can I get the most out of this for Me, Me,) charlatans. And his Grand Plan Medicare for the Masses was overly ambitious, particularly given the looming GFC reality-shock, but he at least endeavored, strove, when lesser men would have caved. Merit where due. VC winners did not always survive, not always change an outcome, but put their 'all' on the line for Others, not for themselves. Badge of Honour to em, and to Barack for the guts to 'have a go' under exceedingly heavy fire. (And he unwound Iraq and is unwinding Afghanistan - neither being of his creation.)

Come, gentlemen, credit where due.

Wow, Katie, I think you had better take that Bex and have a nice lie down now.
Your unbalance is so severe that you will fall right over soon.

You know so much about Labour perhaps you can tell me why Julia
suppressed the ABARE report on Australian oil supplies ?
