Today Julia Gillard will have been PM for as long as Kevin Rudd.
Unfortunately for Australians their records are just as bad: more debt, deficits, waste, boats, broken promises and increasing cost of living pressures on families and more lies

A bad government was succeeded by an abysmal government http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/opinion/a-bad-government-was-succeeded-by-an-abysmal-governmen...
TODAY marks a dismal anniversary in Australian history, it is the day on which the Gillard minority Labor-Independent-Green government equals the Rudd Labor government's total time in office - 935 days.
Given the propensity for this miserable government to attempt to redefine failures as successes, it is possible that some foolhardy Rudd-hating, Gillard-supporting staffer may even pop a bottle of champagne in the office tomorrow when the current prime minister exceeds Rudd's abruptly curtailed term.

Bring on the election & make all these failures & lies a focal point, after all, Labor are going to go negative on Abbott.
We should be told all the policy failure, waste, lies, spin,dirty tricks, thieving & rorting, freeloading consultants & advisors who have been sucking off the public nipple from 2007 onwards.
We should be told the truth for a change, of just how bad this govt. is, no one should ever forget it.
A resounding NO to vote Labor so we are never subjected to this appalling spectacle again.

So what, they still ended up with a surplus.
What we have under this failed govt is a debt at $146 billion, growing bigger every day, no surplus, never even got close to a surplus, a surplus is not what Labor do.
There is no excuse that will ever exonerate this gdsgraceful, failed, corrupt govt.

I just find this Labor government unbelievably messy! it just seems to be one drama after another, and each one worse than the last + I cannot listen to Julia Gillard any longer than a few minutes as I simply find her voice so irritating I want to smash the telly..sorry if that's a bit childish but I just can't help it. Smashing the telly every time she comes on is about all she inspires in me. 😞
I just can't stand her..and hell will freeze over before I ever vote Labor again while she is leader. Even without her I think they've just plain lost the plot.
Her misogynist speech just plain did my head in! I struggled through it on youtube and thought she just sounded like a shrew. Especially as I'd not long read this which was going around on facebook.
It also adopted a policy on prostitution which said, in part: "Prostitution takes many forms and is not only the exchange of money for sex. … Prostitution in marriage is the transaction of sex in return for love, security and house-keeping." (Quoted by Helen Trinca, The Australian, April 6, 1984, p.7).

dirtdweller, I believe that it is recognised form of abuse which can sometimes happen within marriages.

That is not what the policy said though, it plainly states 'Prostitution in marriage is the transaction of sex in return for love, security and house-keeping."
And mentions nothing about possible abuse..
The public didn't like it, the article goes on to say this....
This bizarre statement made headlines across Australia. Anti-AUS student activists produced posters with the slogan: "AUS says your mother is a prostitute!"
By early 1984, not only Liberals, but moderate Labor and Jewish students, were campaigning vigorously to abolish the AUS. While Julia Gillard and her left-wing colleagues were defending the union, campus after campus was seceding from it, depriving it of funds and bringing about its rapid collapse.

"AUS says your mother is a prostitute!"
If my husband deprived me of love,security and house keeping UNLESS i had sex with him where and when he said....
I would become his prostitute.
