It's time to stop the vile vitriol about Prime Minister Julia GillardPAUL SYVRET THE COURIER-MAILJUNE 18

LAST week the man likely to be federal treasurer come September fired off, in part, the following Tweet about Prime Minister Julia Gillard: "She has never deserved respect and will never receive it."

...

Unlike the personal vilification and denigration of our Prime Minister, however, it is the stuff that tends to stay where it belongs in the nether regions of the blogosphere.

Which is what makes Julia Gillard and the big smear all the more depressing and extraordinary - so much so that it is now making international headlines like this one over the weekend: "Treatment of Julia Gillard shows extent to which sexism is tolerated in Australia".

The sub-head in The Irish Times newspaper reads: "Prime Minister is attacked relentlessly in contemptible, offensive terms".

"It is almost impossible to picture all of the above (abuse) happening in most other modern countries," the newspaper says. "Can you imagine the outcry if, for instance, a political rival had stood in front of signs calling (former Irish politician) Mary Harney a (edited:rhymes with witch)   or if a menu had referred to her genitalia?"

some seem to feel that our Prime Minister has earned their disrespect to the point that they can be excused for things which shouldn't be excused in a civilised society .

There will always be that element Iza.... fed by the media it increases the numbers but they will get tired of it, I hope.

[izabsmiling]

it's the wider message it sends out az...that should be a concern.

I think the issue with our army (which is being addressed) is a much wider issue

Here we see c&p rabid left wing propaganda

Things which would have those same harpies screaming blue murder if anyone dared apply it to them.

I would like to think people could separate the office of the PM from the person who is actually the PM.

Unfortunately because she is so disliked the two have been blurred into one.

JG has done nothing to make us respect the office she holds, she has brought shame to the position of the PM's office and she deserves nothing less than humiliation and defeat.

She has no dignity or class, she is self centred, self righteous and cares nothing for anything or anybody other then her desire to be the PM.

She knows the LP would benefit by her stepping down but has not got the intestinal fortitude to step aside which shows how ruthless she is despite knowing they would be better lead by another.

The election cannot come soon enough for me and I would assume millions of other voters sick of this mess.

Iza, what you call "vile vitriol" is critisism wher critisism is due. She is an inept, underhanded, coniving, covert, manipulative backstabber who will tell you black is white if it suits her personal agenda. She will use anything,true or false and anyone, friend or foe to fulfil her personal desire. I could go on but that is enough for now, She has managed to replace Gough Whitlem as the worst prime minister in this country's histort but in doing so she has set the role of women in politics back a few decades.

Pod...........shes not inept. lol

and the Whitlams are my fave Aussie band. though, I know nothing about Gough, before my time...I was just a kid.....

[newstart2380]

Poddster, I think you are even more upset than me about this egotistical person (forget gender) and I am very peed off with her ridiculous rhetoric.

She is asked a question and raves on and on and on about nothing and everytime she changes it around to an attack on the opposition.

I think even WS is getting sick of her ravings, have you seen the bored expression on his face during parliament ? almost asleep.

Iza, what you call "vile vitriol" is critisism wher critisism is due.

I'm talking about the crude ,rude, sexual degradation of a female .That is not due any women no matter how much some people may try to excuse it
