You could almost see the fake smile draining away from Julia Gillard's face as it went on.
If our PM was given a strong green of tint, it would have been perfect.
Link anyone?
We do at times criticize Leigh Sales, so let's be fair and acknowledge her here.

Yes she did a good job last night.
Pity the same standard of scrutiny was not there 5 years ago. Might have saved Labor from oblivion.
You lot really make me want to throw up seriously, ABC beats up Abbott and its ABC bias, beats up Gillard and they are doing a great job.
Really?

It does rather seem that 7.30 has decided to sock it to the government at long last, viz tonight's item on the unprecedented number of boat arrivals, which was extremely critical of the government.
But there's a need for balance. However much I might detest Ms Gillard, she is prepared to front up for interview. Imo Tony Abbott needs to do the same on 7.30 or other programs that are not his natural allies such as 2GB and The Bolt Report.
Yes, the Coalition is doing very well in the polls at present, but this seems to me like just a default as a result of the odious standing of the government, rather than votes going to Mr Abbott as a result of anything positive he is doing.
As Calliope has earlier commented, Mr Abbott needs to show some courage in exposing himself to questioning, rather than being absolutely passive as at present.

And the ABC is doing its best to remind everyone that he doesn't like being interviewed. Did you notice the dig by Sales at the end of the Gillard about the invite to Abbott and that the request was "being considered". Considering the "week that was" as Gillard put it, had nothing to do with the Coalition or Abbott, I thought it was either very thoughtful of the abc to try and get Abbott's comments, or very mischievous.:
Duckman
And Gillard needs to front up to the Bolt Report and 2GB - she has NEVER appeared on the Bolt Report despite apparently being asked - as have many of the alp ministers (so I understand).
So, to be fair, if Abbott has to front up to the normally labor biased ABC, Gillard should also be expected to do likewise to Bolt and 2GB. If not, there I see no reason Abbott has to be the only one to face a potentially hostile interviewer.
That's fair enough. I must admit I've never seen the Bolt Report.So, to be fair, if Abbott has to front up to the normally labor biased ABC, Gillard should also be expected to do likewise to Bolt and 2GB.

It was along the lines of a journalist in a recent interview with her (past few days) promoting the Opposition's line on the government's performance.What did she say?

If audio or a transcript becomes available from ABC radio 720 Perth, I'll post it.
