Its interesting to look back now though with four years of hindsight to consider the OP,s comment that Julia Gillards prime ministership will be remembered as one of the most outstanding. Unfortunately history has just lumped her in with Rudd remembering her for the roundabout of political backstabbing that Labor engaged in.
Pity really. As a union rep she was articulate and intelligent and as Australia's first female prime minister she had the potential to leave a legacy for other woman. Unfortunately she allowed herself to get caught up in the feminist misogyny stuff and it all ended up very bitter and twisted.
AND BEFORE all the usuals jump up and down about how unfairly she was treated by the Liberals ( A point I actually agree with ) and Alan Joneses " put her in a bag and drop her at sea stuff " ( just a disgusting way to refer to any PM. ) ... ... it is worth remembering it was the powerful union bosses and backroom Labor boofheads that effectively nuted her Prime Ministership and turned her into a bumbling, ineffective hand puppet. Labor might make the right noises, but at their heart they show no respect for the Woman in their party. Its all a testosterone filled, Boofhead, Bullyboy, Brainless, antagonistic union hack culture.
Sounds a bit the treatment the LNP dealt to Julie Bishop:
"it is worth remembering it was the powerful LNP ,Media Bosses and backroom Liberal/National boofheads that effectively nuted her Prime Ministership ambitions and turned her into a bumbling, ineffective hand puppet. Your LNP cohorts might make the right noises, but at their heart they show no respect for the Woman in their party. Its all a testosterone filled, Boofhead, Bullyboy, Brainless, antagonistic party hack culture".
