Has there ever been an Australian Prime Minister to rival Julia Gillard ?

The ABC has this online poll asking for three words to describe your views on how Ms Gillard’s minority Government has performed.

  1. well the poll is down and the results are up
    In my view the results are misleading
    The results refer to those people ‘who identified themselves as voting for the Coalition’
    and then there is a cloud of the words .. and similarly for people who identified themselves as voting for labor and Greens
    But the identification as to whom you would vote for if an election were held tomorrow came after the words in which you would describe Gillard’s performance
    So my point is that I never identified myself as voting ‘for the Coalition’ only insofar as Rudd and Gillard have turned me off voting for Labor
    and how many people were in my situation – maybe even some Labor voters are turned off
    I note about 50% of the voters identified themselves as I did but keep in mind that’s only because the question was ‘who would you vote for tomorrow’ and the extra question was missing ‘who do you usually vote for’
    But anyway after all that; Go Gillard, I’m disappointed in Fielding and my mother is thinking how are the Coalition to pay back the deficit without the proceeds of the carbon tax
    Oh Nirvana!

  2. As val majkus says: “I suppose I should add to rescue myself I never voted for Rudd…”
    but val (TIC) did you vote for Ms Gillard? I voted for neither. (I did vote for myself in the Senate, but that’s another story.

    Today we again had Ms Gillard running from the parliament when Mr Abbott tried to talk his plebiscite.

    Meanwhile, on the night of the winter solstice, we should revisit : It’s the Sun Stupid.

    How can these clowns keep ignoring:

    a) the scientific evidence;

    b) the voting public?

  3. Geoff, double rescue; I never voted for Ms Gillard

    and my words to describe her in the word cloud were ‘liar, self serving, incompetent’
    Suppose not many people would use the second word but the first and third were quite prevalent at least in the majority poll

    As to how can these clowns keep ignoring the scientific evidence well there’s a lot of scientists no doubt with their snouts in the gravy trough who support the ‘climate change’ occurrence (and the Chief Scientist joined in the chorus today)- it’s a bit obscene in my view when the science mouthpieces with large pay packets dependent on climate change echo each other

    As to the other point well the elected reps have no reason to take any notice of the voting public until the next election
    (and that’s probably Tony Windsor and Oakshotte supported the Govt)- they want their pay packets

  4. Weird, is that an old rope burn around her neck?? I know here in the US many politicians have criminal backgrounds…

  5. If the feedback I get is anything to go by, then Julia Gillard is surely a ‘dead politician walking’.

    She is absolutely hated. She is despised. She is considered to be dishonest. She is considered to be utterly untrustworthy. She is considered to be Australia’s most hated leader… in charge of Australia’s most incompetent government ever.

    And Gillard has only got herself to blame… for she dared to blatantly deceive voters when she claimed: “There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead”… only to then do a backflip, telling voters (soon after she was made PM and got into bed with Bob Brown) that there would be a carbon tax.

    That’s just not unforgivable… it’s political suicide!

  6. On Icenow there is a delightful quote…

    A draft study produced by researchers at Yale University and four other research institutions has arrived at a surprising (to them) finding: The more that people are scientifically literate, and the more that they’re numerate, the likelier that they’ll be climate change skeptics.

    Their (predictable) conclusion was to change the way science is taught.

    Perhaps that’s the problem; the more people know the harder to fool them. So that’s why we are getting the ‘mushroom’ treatment.
