The good fortune Gillard has is that, although everyone knows how incompetent she is and that she is the worst PM ever, Labor has no one to replace her.
The Gillard/Greens/Independents government will do nothing about the crisis in the illegal boats trying to reach Australia - they will continue to put their heads in the sand assuming the problem will go away on its own.
Gillard plea for offshore solution.!!!
Abbott was on the radio today saying she has not even contacted him.
joea
Pure politics - he knows her phone number.
What? Is Tony Abbott running the country all of a sudden. The responsibility is Gillard's. Pure politics, she knows his number.

TONY Abbott has rejected Julia Gillard's call for fresh talks to break the nation's border protection impasse, sparking Labor claims he "sees political advantage in people dying".
The Opposition Leader today said he saw no point in further talks with the government on asylum-seeker policy, declaring: “What is there to negotiate?”
Parliamentary Secretary for Climate Change, Mark Dreyfus, said it was a “disgraceful” approach.
“You're left thinking that he sees political advantage in people dying,” Mr Dreyfus said.
Following the deaths of up to 90 asylum-seekers north of Christmas Island last week, the Prime Minister yesterday appealed to Mr Abbott to negotiate a new agreement to prevent further deaths.
But the Opposition Leader said voters wanted effective policies, not further talks.
“What is there to negotiate?” Mr Abbott told Seven's Sunrise program. “The Prime Minister just wants us to accept a dud deal. Now, she hasn't moved on at all.”
Whos talking about running the "country" ?
This particular issue requires a bipartisan approach.
According to the U.N., roughly 40% of Iraq's middle class is believed to have fled. Most are fleeing systematic persecution and have no desire to return.[13] Refugees are mired in poverty as they are generally barred from working in their host countries.[14][15] In Syria alone an estimated 50,000 Iraqi girls and women, many of them widows, are forced into prostitution just to survive.[16][17]
As ive said war mongering right wing oil lovers caused half these issues in the first place.
Both sides of politics needs to fix this despite how many of you want to blame each side of politics.
Julia Gillard better get on with it and do her job then eh ?
LABOR may have to resort to sending asylum seekers to Nauru without their preferred option of transferring them to Malaysia after appeals by the government for the opposition to meet it halfway on policy fell on deaf ears.
Despite three cabinet ministers urging yesterday the opposition to allow Labor's Malaysia plan in return for reopening a processing centre on Nauru, the Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, was unmoved, saying it was his way or nothing.

A Soldier’s Wife Confesses
This came from a Soldier’s wife. It says it all:
"I sat, as did millions of other Australians, and watched as the government
Underwent a peaceful transition of power twelve months ago.
At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while
Julia Gillard took her oath of office.
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 SAS Soldiers
In full dress uniform with rifles,
Fire a 21-gun salute to the Prime Minister.
It was then that I realized how far Australia's military had deteriorated..
Every one of them missed the b$%*h."

Tony Abbott is playing hard ball and it's the right choice for now.
Even with a deal agreed, he still wouldn't be able to trust her. Just ask Andrew Wilkie.
Voters first and foremost will be judging the government.Why are you so sure its the right choice ?
Swinging voters will choose the government at the next election and his hardcore approach and especially comments im sure arnt going down well.
Voters first and foremost will be judging the government.
It's as simple as that and Tony Abbott knows it. There's a political price to be paid for sticking to his ground, but he may have decided that that's less of a risk than trusting Julia Gillard.
