Julia Gillard Should Just Go Away

[icyfroth]

Former prime minister Julia Gillard has attacked inept US Republican presidential candidates in an endorsement for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

In the video posted on Clinton's website, Ms Gillard is critical of the way in which Republican presidential candidates make "cheap and easy statements" on foreign policy.

"Hard words often get very ugly reactions," the former Labor leader says.

"And there's a real risk when people are campaigning for office that they use characterisation that is quick and might play in some constituencies back home but does damage that reverberates for years and years."

Ms Gillard says that if she was an American she would want to see the reputation of the USA get stronger rather than be put "at risk because of cheap and easy statements being injected into complex foreign policy debates".

The video features pictures of candidates Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Marco Rubio.

The Republican presidential candidates were widely criticised for their poor performance during a televised debate focusing on foreign policy issues.

Trump has called for Muslims to be banned from entering the US.

Chris Christie said during the debate he would be more trusted by King Hussein of Jordan than President Barack Obama when it comes to fighting Islamic State.

But King Hussein died in 1999.

I don't have to research it but it looks like you did.

As for taking the pension? well we don't know yet if he will, we were discussing the greedy Rudd who is a millionaire taking the pension and all that goes with it when he has millions of dollars.

[debra9275]

Who's is we? No-one was discussing Rudd except you.

so,we have determined that turnbull didn't choose not to move into Kiribilli House to save tax payers money. You were totaly incorrect on that one.

don't forget that abbott didn't save tax payers any money either, he cost us more in fact

[kilroy_is_here]

Why shouldn't he take the pension it's part of the job renumerations as such he has earned them

[debra9275]

I take it that question is meant for djlukjilly who is complaining about rudd taking his entitlement?

I think most Australians are pretty dim when it comes to voting for the future of the country. We only have to look back a handfull of years to see they voted Rudd in.
