Penny is driven by compassion for those less well-off in our community and to ensure equality for all Australians regardless of race, personal beliefs, sexuality or where they live.
Penny believes that opportunity opens a door both to a more equal society, but also to a more productive society

Penny Wong's Maiden Speech
"Absolutely brilliant speech from Penny. She not only inspires but also brings a certain unique intelligence through her speech and actions.
Penny for PM !"

Yes I like her, she is the opposite of our current pm - intelligent, compassionate and articulate. On the humorous side, just imagine the rabid right imploding in a puff of bigotry. Saying this, Bill Shorten has my support, we don't have the time to be still arguing over who shoulda, woulda, coulda....unity is necessary and we need these shysters out before they totally wreck the joint.

So sad, particularly reflecting on the buffoon there at the moment.
So Gillards spectacular policy failures and her big carbon lie and her fishwife personna in parliament had nothing to do with her failure and being replaced by the worst PM in our history Mr Rudd??
Ignoring history is not going to ever be successful and the fantasy that Gillard was done in by the press (nothing she ever did to deserve her being knifed by her own party ) makes one wonder if the left have any conviction to morality or just moral vanity.

But what do you think of Penny Wong ?

I knew Penny when she was a young lawyer with the then Duncan and Hannon. Found her to be intelligent, honest, and tenacious. One of those people who, if you were not careful or ill prepared, could cut you down with a softly spoken word.
Having seen her during Senate question time, she hasnโt changed much.

I often watch the senate and I also think she'd be pretty good but I think pct's post no. 3 is spot on
