Surely you don't vote ppl into government because of their gender, or their looks or whether you could listen to their voice all day long.

Penny needs to show some leadership qualities, so far she's just been following.

Penny Wong: Why I Betrayed The Sisterhood

"I voted for Julia on the last occasion because I still believed that she was the person who should be Prime Minister and out of personal loyalty, and as the first female Prime Minister, I thought it was important to continue to support her,'' she said.

"Then I gradually became more and more concerned at the political position of the Labor Party. "Particularly in this last week I'd been weighing up what I saw as my two loyalties, which previously had been aligned. My personal loyalty to her and my loyalty to the party.''

For Senator Wong, those two loyalties stopped being "aligned''.

Meaning her loyalties for Ms Gilard as a fellow feminist fell by the wayside when politics came to the fore. How could she be trusted? Where would her loyalties lie in a future crisis?

[fourandsixpants]

trite IMO, no offence icy. We're talking politics here not private schoolgirl's 'little lunch' break.

[debra9275]

where would her loyalties lay?? with her party i suspect

[icyfroth]

Well if she can switch loyalties within her party at will, where would her whims take Australia's politics if she where PM?

[debra9275]

I wouldn't say she switched loyalies, but she had to consider the bigger picture I suppose she was saying

anyway I like her 

[fourandsixpants]

to icy:In politics loyalties lie. Standard procedure throughout.

Penny Wong acting on a 'whim' ?!!  LOL

.....you've got the wrong politician me thinks.

to debs: I like Penny Wong too. She exudes a natural self confidence. I would feel a lot happier if someone like her were PM.
