Gillard SM kept that menu for near two months.
I think you need not confront her she has done that her self.
So I assuming the roll of old Doc Bell, having failed to find a pulse in the ALP, advise we watch the next two weeks to see who owns the ALP.
But I fear the illness/Gillard may be fatal.

PS we Labor tragics will use far more offensive terms in talking about Abbott, Howard,s wifes toy.
But will we,on gaining evidence put in in a draw for two months before announcing to the world it is offensive?
Dillard lost more male voters with her silly walks act at her female supporters meeting than she won females.
At least she killed of other than the very best females at the top in our future by her declarations , my blue tie is now my favorite

It is a bit odd. This dinner all the fuss is about was in March but the
menu has only just surfaced.
Did it appear just as Gillard was being attacked on the speach ?
Had someone being holding it waiting for an opportunity ?

Then after all that it turns out that it was not the menu anyway !
Which explains why Brough and Hockey said they had not seen it.
However they were called liars by government members. How ironic.
Gillard cannot even manage a political scandal !

The upshot is she is now a Blue Tie laughing stock !

Any politician that becomes a laughing stock is truly finished.

Bazz - Any politician that becomes a laughing stock is truly finished.

The red-headed witch has been a laughing stock for years but somehow it manages to keep going. Whats even more scarey is that some big company will undoubtedly give the creature a highly paid job after September.

SM,

Just a couple of reminders:

Tampa, Utegate, Slush funds, Ashbygate,
Yeah, blue ties are the ties that bind,
and bind, and bind! Keep on with the slogans
of the "Carbon Tax," "We'll Stop The Boats,"
give the electorate what they want to hear.
After-all if these things weren't vote-winners
and didn't represent an advantage in the opinion
polls, then our political discourse would be
different. Who needs respect - after all it's
all only politics. And, sadly you've got nothing
else.

Dear runner,

I assume that you have a heart. You just need to get it
to beat more often.

If there was any semblance of legitimacy associated with the vast majority of boat people, why wouldn't they take advantage of the infinitely cheaper & safer 'visa' approach ??

Likewise, why don't the red-headed witch & the RAbott want a public debate on the issue ??

As a number of contributors have stated, there is no suggestion Australians in general oppose 'legitimate' refugees, the whole problem is the considerable suspicion that most are NOT genuine & this view is enhanced when we see tricks like destroying passports, scuttling boats etc. Whats the problem with requiring them to demonstrate their bona-fides ??
