Looks like there are a few bored people around.

So I thought I'd share this link.

This did not make the news.

There are about 40 people who talk.  The PM listens and joins in herself.

This is not the vile, angry person she is often portrayed as.

This is the person many in the old boys and news clubs would rather we don't get to know or see.

OMG I came in here because I was bored and I find it's a political thread!  😮

I'm even more borderer now  :_|

No Cat, I posted it because the forum is informative and interesting.

It's about digital economy/business.

The Sisterhood need to examine themselves and, I suspect,  their own backgrounds first, as Gillard is tough enough to look after herself.

DY: "Julia Gillard handles herself well, speaks well and at least sounds intelligent"

Chuckle.

Sounding intelligent is good

Why John?

You are starting to sound like a real old codger with your constant digs at the "sisterhood"!

It might suit you that women get the short end of the stick. All that proves is you are a sexist deep down for expecting us to put up and shut up.

This was an interesting and informative event that was not given any media coverage at the time. Gillard doesn't say much while another 40 people speak about the innovations and changing times.

John, in other words Tony Abbott doesn't even sound intelligent. Do I have to spell everything out for you?

Nice to see something nice about Julia here freakiness.

My son met her some years ago and said how very nice she was and easy to talk to.

I have worked for women in business situations and so often they are far more clear and concise about the job and how to handle it than the men I have worked for.  I suspect the same applies with Julia, she has that same concise way of communicating.

We do have to remember that nowadays the only way to defeat the opposition is to downgrade them, harrass them, call them names and generally make people feel they are hateful.  

It's a propaganda ploy that works very successfully and once you recognise it, you will see it is being employed in may walks of life.

Yes. I've watched this a few times now as I sometimes play it for other people who're interested. It got virtually no coverage at the time.

It's not the PM speaking that's of most interest, it's all the others who contributed. PM listens and learns.
