Needless to say, if those you referred to behave in such a way as to disqualify them from respect, I would hold a similar view.
So would I, and do. 🙂

Rethinking..............can't really blame Julia....she's had a tuff few weeks (months?) lately..Finally broke through the 'tuff' shell.
why would any sane person blame anyone for feeling for Australians in need (she spoke of some she had personally met ) ?
if she hadn't cried she would be called too wooden ,
the last time she cried was when she spoke about touring the QLD floods and meeting the flood victims,among them the young boy who lost his Mother and Brother and about being giving her a muddy flag ....she was hounded about those tears too?????????

It's the position, that i think commands respect.
Same as our police, our soldiers, our teachers, our parents, anyone who is our elder.
I don't really follow politics anymore than I have to, and I certainly know very little about Ms. Gillard, but the fact remains, that she has done something pretty remarkable to be in a position for anyone to even consider her capable of leading an entire nation.
Regardless of how well people believe she has or has not performed since taking on that position, is a different matter.

Speaking of showing disrespect - did you know its is still illegal to insult heads of state in some countries?
A 42-year-old Polish blogger who claimed in an article that his country was being governed by ‘two Russian pansies’ could face a maximum of three years in jail if found guilty.
Piotr W. (whose full name cannot be released under Polish privacy laws), writes under the pseudonym ‘MatkaKurka’ (Motherhen) for the news portal kontrowersje.net. His case is the latest in a series of controversial ‘lèse-majesté’ cases to be brought to trial over the past decade.
He is accused of violating Article 135 of the Criminal Code which makes it illegal to insult the head of state. Jaroslaw Halikowski, a spokesman from the district court in Legnica, South-West Poland, claimed that the article repeatedly publicly insults the president.
