Gillard - A Dead Loss
by paul Thursday, Jul 19 2012, 10:45pm
international / prose / post

Washington doormat and universally reviled Oz PM Juliar Gillard doesn’t have to lay down and die, as some would wish, she’s already dead! She died (and continues to flatline) immediately after her traitorous backflip on the Carbon Tax. Her appalling backstab of the Australian public has no parallel in Oz political history, not even Howard’s “never, ever” GST backflip directly confronted the sensibility and integrity of the Australian people to the extent that Gillard’s brazen treachery and insulting LIE did.

Banker and Corporate lackey, Gillard
Banker and Corporate lackey, Gillard

The people are not amused and are not likely to forgive a person that continues to insult them by maintaining her pretence that everything is just honky dory though the entire cash-strapped public has just been hit with a tax that affects the price of EVERYTHING!

Bankers and MegaCorps responsible for designing the ETS/Carbon Tax, own most western politicians these days; they are acutely aware that their servile politicians are 100% expendable; there is no shortage of pathological narcissists and egoists that wish to occupy the highest office in the land and are willing to sell their souls in the process. Opposition leader Tony Abbott is currently is the USA attempting to curry favour with the yanks by bad-mouthing his opponent; however, it is a foregone conclusion that Gillard’s Labor will lose the next election regardless of which party is in opposition -- the people do not care, they despise Gillard as no other leader has been hated in all Oz history -- and that includes the barbarous period of colonial rule!

Witless opposition leader Tony Abbott would actually win nothing, it is Gillard doing ALL the losing – and make the clear distinction, the next federal election will not be about winning office it will be about losing it; perhaps that is why Abbott is not being received by the yanks as warmly as would otherwise be expected of a future Washington puppet Oz leader!

However, the real news is the profound denial that continues to grip national Labor regarding Gillard’s status and viability with the Oz public. All this talk (drivel) about how “tough” Gillard is, is dissociative crap! Gillard is forced to disassociate from her huge lie and pathetic record – what choice does she have, Labor morons? It is not toughness that her colleagues are witnessing, it is psychopathology!

The fact remains, Oz Labor has no hope come the next Federal election, however, it is able to lessen or reduce the carnage. It would serve Labor well to make Gillard disappear completely well before the next election, as even her memory is poisonous to most Aussies.

It remains to be seen just how profound Labor’s somnambulism is and when the Party may begin to wake from its collective stupor and confront the hard reality that Gillard is TOXIC! And to think the ALP was once the most down to earth and pragmatic political party in Australia; my, how times have changed!

Secret plan to reinstate Rudd as PM
by Mark Riley, Yahoo News

There's growing impatience inside the Government over Julia Gillard's leadership, following another disastrous opinion poll.

Seven News can reveal details of a secret plot to reinstate Kevin Rudd to the top job within months, if Labor's fortunes don't turn around. The latest Newspoll shows Labor's primary vote has dropped back to 28 percent, and flatlined around 30 for a year.

On Tuesday senior Labor figures were discussing ways of reshuffling the Labor leadership.

There’s no certainty that Julia Gillard’s colleagues will cast Kevin Rudd again, but if the government's numbers don't improve by September, her colleagues will consider casting Kevin Rudd as prime minister.

Kevin Rudd has said that he won't challenge for the role, whilst Ms Gillard says she won't resign.

One plan is for factional leaders to go public, forcing the Prime Minister to step down.

Mr Rudd would then call an immediate election, declaring he won't govern on the tainted support of now Independents Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper.

He would then roll out a series of big policy changes on border protection, education, health and lowering the carbon price.

The only good news for the ALP is that Tony Abbott is now almost as unpopular as the Prime Minister.

Oz Ambassador to the US and Former Labor Leader, Kim Beazley, predicts Doom for Gillard's Labor
by Simon Benson, Herald Sun

AUSTRALIA'S Ambassador to the US Kim Beazley has told American political figures Labor could be left with just 30 seats after the next federal election.

The former Labor leader is reported to have delivered a "deeply pessimistic" view of the Gillard government's "challenges" during a series of high-powered meetings two weeks ago in Washington.

But Mr Beazley is also said to have said it no longer mattered who was leading Labor and another leadership change was unlikely to make a difference.

It is believed the briefing was attended by senior US political figures from the Democrat and Republican camps, State and Defence Department officials as well as leaders of industry and media from both countries.

Sources confirmed two Gillard government MPs were also present during the briefing - one of the many held as part of the annual four-day Australian American Leadership dialogue from July 12 to 14.

Sources inside the session revealed that Mr Beazley told the group of around 50 that, while there was still 15 months to run to an election and anything could happen, it was possible Labor could end up with only 30 seats in the 150-seat parliament.

"He was certainly being very pessimistic about Labor's chances," one official present at the meeting said.

"And he didn't seem fazed by saying it."

On the question of leadership speculation, which State Department sources have said leaves many in the US political scene "flummoxed", Mr Beazley told his audience that a leadership change may not make any difference.

"He was suggesting it was that bad, that it didn't matter anymore who was leading the party," the source said.

A tradition of secrecy normally cloaks the annual forum. But sources on the inside of the meeting who spoke with The Daily Telegraph defended Mr Beazley, claiming he did not stray outside the remit of his role as ambassador and had not made any inappropriate comments.

Mr Beazley last night would not comment on the meetings, which are by invitation only and bind those attending to strict rules of confidentiality.

"As an ambassador, I don't comment on Australian politics,'' Mr Beazley said.

"What is said at the dialogue stays at the dialogue.''

Two senior Labor MPs, including Home AffairsntsGBorder Protectionnte Minister Jason Clare and Victorian Senator David Feeney, as well as opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop are believed to have been present at the meeting.

Neither Mr Feeney nor Ms Bishop would comment on the meeting and Mr Clare could not be contacted. Mr Rudd, minister Bill Shorten and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, while all attending the July 12-14 forum, were not present at that briefing.

The forum, which was established almost 20 years ago, allows political and industry leaders from both countries to meet privately to exchange views about the respective political and economic situations in their countries.

Another source said claiming Mr Beazley had written the Gillard government off was a "gross oversimplification'' of what was discussed at the meeting and that Mr Beazley was simply giving an overview.
