1: Change welfare policy to: work for the dole
2: Provide free birth control (the slow release for 12 months type) for all teens between 12-25
3: Start looking for a new job: The McDonalds Red Head Clown could use an update!
Jooliar should contact her bookmaker, and start a book:
Which will last longer?
1. My Prime Ministership
or
2. Wayne Swans Budget surplus.....
If I was Julia's Puppet Master, 3 things I'd do:
- Retire and handover the reins to Christine Milne. It's her turn now.
- Spend more time with Paul.
- Re-visit my love of photogrpahy and bushwalking...
Oh, hang on...
Why is Australia so hard on this woman? she has managed to govern in very tricky circumstances and has got a mountain of legislation through with the "we're good at throwing mud and saying that this is the worst government ever but our policies either don't exist ,are uncosted or are crap"opposition parties continually carping at her . It seems that she has made the mistake of getting the murdoch press offside ,is a red head"ranga" (I despise that word it is almost as bad as n....r)woman with a pointy nose ,big bum and funny voice ,and is a lousy salesperson .
I am pretty sure that Barrie Cassidy said a while back that if she had have come clean on the Carbon tax and said "yes I did say there would be no carbon tax under a government that i lead but when I said that I did not envision a hung parliament and so therefore circumstances changed and by the way the opposition support the same targets as we do re carbon emissions and maybe you should ask them a bit more about their scheme that they would have had to implement if they had have formed government but the cross benches decided was crap along with most people in the world and that just about everything else they planned just didn't add up" then she and Labour wouldn't be in the mess they are now in poll wise .
Just as a side comment didn't lil Johnny Howard say "never ever " to the GST ? yes I know he went to an election on it and almost lost (I'm glad he did but it should have been higher and on everything ,but hey he had to do a deal with the cross benches of the time ,ie compromise to get the bulk of what he wanted to do across the line ) but the Tampa refugees chuckin their kids overboard thing saved him.(which turned out to be untrue)
You don't like the PM because she is a woman Shallow.

Mr float, I'm sorry that you feel that way. I have disagreed with many of the decisions the labour government have made even back to good ol Kevin. The fact that she is a woman has nothing to do with my opinion of her.
Yes she gets a verbal bashing but I think that is because people lost respect for her through her actions as pm and the distrust that we have seen from the public of their leaders.
Labour has only governed us through a recession because of the hard and unpopular decisions made by the liberal government. Yes Johnny was a cunning little bugger, but you have to respect his ability as a politician. And it really got to me when they gave Wayne swan the best treasurer in the world award. He got that for australias position through the recession which basically was built on the work of Peter Costello! I would be ashamed if I was him to have that sitting on my mantle.
I'm regards to jooliar, I think she has set back women in the PM seat for years to come which is really sad as I would have liked to see another female prime minister as they seem to be able to make the hard and unpopular decisions which sometimes a country needs (read margret thatcher for that one.... )
Unfortunately, because of Jooliar, some of the older generation and people who are sexist, will put her inability to govern down to the fact she is a woman which is not fair.
Basically she is a pawn and the very definition of a pink shirt: someone who was put in place after they killed off the old leader and whom is different and people wont have a go at her because they will be dazzled by the gimmick of our first female PM!
I do believe that she has done the best she can but I don't believe that she is right for the job because of her inabilities as a leader.
One of the things I would do:
I would make gay marriage happen. Australia is SO far behind with this issue. Coming from Amsterdam, to me it seems like such a thing from the dark ages to not allow it.
Gillard is a liar and traitor. The labour gov wastes our taxes on bludgers and wasteful schemes whilst borrowing more and more. In the meantime industries disappear in Australia, we are turning into a nation that imports everything and produces hardly anything. Australia needs change and strong leadership, not populist compromised greenie influenced craP we have been fed for too long
Firstly , cut the string to the left hand
Secondly cut the string to the torso and head
Then wave goodbye .
Mr Float and Log Man,
To be diplomatic about this, I will state the facts as I see them.
You guys have judged our current government to have governed well and I have judged them to rule poorly and disagree with alot of their economic policies.
The original dispute was over Mr Float believing that I had a go at her because she is a woman which I have stated before that is not the case and am in favour of having women in the PM seat.
I also agree with you that PK was a bit of a let down but I think Bob Hawke did a better job than you give him credit for.
At the end of the day, we either like or dislike the values, policies and decisions of our politicians and are in an environment where being able to debate these differences in opinion are accepted.
I will accept that you have been provided with information that leads you to the conclusion that Julia has governed well, however from my own information that I have been provided, I have judged her to have governed poorly.
Cheers,

If this is true the Lib/Nats under Howard were a bunch of traitors and liars too. Howard forced Australia into some stupid war on a adjective where plenty of Australian soldiers have been killed and injured for nothing. Not too many industries were started when Howard was PM besides a few advertising companies that made ads telling us how awesome the government was with taxpayer money.
I will just say that I agreed with Johnny sending us into the war as this decision was not based on wether it was right or wrong to go to war, if we needed to send our guys in to save people in abother country.... The decision was based on a free trade agreement that was struck with the U.S by the Libs and the Bush administration which allowed us to prospe as a country to the point of being able to ride out the recession.
Unfortunatley we had to aquire this by going to war and submitting our troops to someone elses fight, but this decision I think was in the best interest of Australia to secure a srong trade agreement for our future.
I may be wrong but theres no point in debating what should have been done or not done.
What we should be doing now is implementing a strategic plan to get out of there whilst enabling the local people to maintain a stable and safe government.
First, hang over cliff
These arguments will go on ad infinitum, or at least until such time as people wake up. Government is there to keep things the way they are, not to effect change.
The red team borrows money from the folk that create it out of thin air. The blue team ensures that we pay it back. All the issues are about money, all of them. The majority of crime is about money. Damage to the environment is about money.
Money is about control and the people who control the money control the system.
We have democracy on the day that we go to the polls. That day only. Then everything swings back to the way it was.
could'nt believe the Libs on radio ranting about wasting money on new schools buildings....everyone I've talked too are stoked that their schools have finally got some new infrastructre......piss Tony off and bring in Malcom T
^^^ My kids have gone from a dodgy, dingy, dark portable stuck along a fence on the outskirts of their small rural school (<100 kids) with near zero heating & no cooling - into an open, well-ventilated classroom, albeit still slightly pre-fab in appearance. It now houses 3 classrooms with a central open area. I'm sure their learning is more enjoyable now, therefore I'd expect that it improves their education and makes it a more 'bearable' environment for the teachers also.
You don't like the PM because she is a woman Shallow.
