History will remember Julia Gillard as one of our best PM's

[donnashuggy]

She achieved so much and even though wasn't the most eloquent speaker or a great seller of policies (in my opinion) she was one of the best. I'm sure there must be a tally somewhere comparing her achievements against Tony Abbott's fails somewhere?

Today's poll starkly identifies the people's problem with the Abbott government. It's Tony Abbott.

In opposition, Abbott liked to say that Julia Gillard was the most incompetent and untrustworthy prime minister in Australia's history.

The voters now have decided that they have found one that's more incompetent and just as untrustworthy. 

"Only half of people polled said that Abbott is competent," says the Fairfax pollster, Jess Elgood of Ipsos.

"That's lower than for any prime minister we have figures for," a data set starting with Paul Keating in 1995.

Compared to Abbott's 50 per cent, the comparable figure for Gillard four months before she was deposed was 53 per cent.

The competence rating for Kevin Rudd two months before losing last year's election was 65 per cent.

Remarkably, even Bill Shorten, with 58 per cent, has a higher competence rating than Abbott.

As Opposition Leader, Shorten doesn't actually administer anything.

Oh so all the lectures and C&P about top rated sellers, multiple ID's and shill bidding was just an aberration on your part...OK no problem. 

All you really want to say is Gillard was a great PM,  and being willing to post it on social media (albeit anonymously)  speaks volumes......Thanks for that and good luck in your future endeavours.

That's what I said so what's the problem. It has nothing to do with your feedback at al as you said. so that was wrong too.

Whoever the post was in response to said you had to sell BIN to qualify as a top rated seller, hence the clarification.

So let me get this right, you call a spade a spade but others lecture when they do the same?

At least this comment is unlikely to be challenged A3:

"As Opposition Leader, Shorten doesn't actually administer anything:"

I agree A3, the shadow cabinet, ALP Caucus and policies are (like Shorten),  controlled by ALP head office: the ACTU.

I never started the multiple id thing. I replied to correct totally incorrect information that was posted about BIN's and top rate seller requirements. Which was incorrectly challenged again.

I don't use social media... facebook, twitter etc.. don't know what you are on about there.

Yes, I agree with the title of this thread. Which is  the topic of this thread... although the opening post does mention comparisons with Abbott... who is just as popular as an off can of sardines.

This is social media,  your comment alone speaks volumes.

Forums don't as a rule fall under the social network/media definition, although there are some similarities they are considered to be different species..

[idlewhile]

That is incorrect and to assume this media outlet is not social media is luducrous.

Semantics?
