Was really annoyed when I heard the latest ad on the radio from the government regarding unfair treatment of women in the workplace. Yet another oh so obvious attempt at gaining the women's vote. The example they used was so over the top it was laughable (someone telling a woman she shouldn't be at work because she was pregnant, I can't see this being a serious issue in 2013). Pity the Gillard government is not doing something about increasing workplaces full stop
Absolutely, the Labor Party has lost touch with mainstream Australia.IMO
They took on a defacto relationship with the Greens and Independents, to form government.
In doing so the Greens enacted all their policies. To the detriment of mining and manufacturing workers.
They now wonder why they are in trouble.lol
Then start trash talking everyone else.lol
Don't worry too much though, they all do ok with their pensions.
This seems to go to her political obtuseness. I couldn't believe it when I heard the advertisement.Was really annoyed when I heard the latest ad on the radio from the government regarding unfair treatment of women in the workplace.

What must people like Keating be thinking about the once proud Labor Party?

Did she learn nothing from the critical backlash following her abortion/blue ties/sexism blunder?
Apparently not.
What she seems to be doing is every single day increasing her chances of complete oblivion, taking her Party with her.

From "The Hamster Wheel" with Julian Morrow, this 'obituary' for Julia Gillard.

Accurate and very funny, but is it a bit out of order to be putting up an obituary for her?

The Australian’s Troy Bramston tweets that Newspoll has the Coalition leading 57-43, down from 58-42 last time. However, the poll has Labor’s primary vote below 30% for the first time this year, down one to 29%, with the Coalition down four points to 45% and the Greens steady on 9%. Tony Abbott’s lead as preferred prime minister has reached a new peak of 45-33, up from 43-35 at the last poll three weeks ago. More to follow
The Gillard versus Rudd versus Bill Shorten drama is a sideshow. It is not even the main game. The government is gone. The game that will have a big and immediate impact on the next government and the economy is the Senate election, and whether the Greens hold the balance of power.
An enormous amount of policy and process is there to be dissected. The government is so manically pushing legislation through the Senate that it has extended the final sitting day to Friday and given notice it intends to gag debate on 53 bills this week. This even includes the legislation that is the basis of the federal referendum, the Constitution Alteration (Local Government) Bill 2013.
This is preposterous. It is the latest dysfunction and dishonesty from the Gillard government, an insult to the electorate and to the democratic process. If the government is unwilling to debate the referendum measure in Parliament, and has allocated 10 times as much funding to support the referendum case as to put an opposing case, the referendum is clearly a Trojan Horse for extending federal power to local government and needs to be defeated. None of this would be possible without the Greens.

THE prime minister’s office has produced an “analysis” of opinion polls “showing” Kevin Rudd is responsible for the Gillard government’s opinion poll woes.
Strange??? She's not blaming Abbott.
Oh! What a feeling!...the obnoxious Gillard and the odious Rudd are tearing their party to bits.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-24/gillard-criticises-economic-commentary/4776152Prime Minister Julia Gillard has criticised some economists and the media for being too negative, saying there is a risk the country will talk itself into a downturn.
Wouldn't you think they'd have something better to do. like running the country.
Not only the ship, but the nation whose flag it flies.This tweet I read is spot on......
Julia Gillard lives by the reverse of the old nautical motto... the ship must go down with its captain.
