I can understand people not liking a politician, I'm guilty of not being enamoured with a few at the moment, but some of the things I saw written were shocking. There is no more devastating threat to make to a woman than to threaten rape and I saw many comments that she should be 'gang raped', sodomised, by animals, by objects etc. Why? Because she was a woman. There are a lot of negative comments about Tony Abbott at the moment but I've yet to see one comment about threatening to gang rape him.
The same is happening for PM Abbott so what's that all about? at least we have a PM that can do the job, not like Gillard, who could not do the job, floundered and shrunk in the position to the extent that her own party knifed her to put back in a man they despised.
Rudd made the deal with his own party, Gillard had to disappear from the face of the political landscape otherwise he wouldn't come back and they were all to willing, couldn't do it fast enough, to dispose of her, just like the Law firm she was sacked from, they couldn't wait to get rid of her either.
She disappeard, didn't lift a finger for her pay until she finally resigned, greedy and grasping till the end.
These are the facts and you can all trolley along on her gender war train but it's meaningless, many on here are guilty of posting the hate pictures and spouting off about Abbott themselves, one old comrade in particular.
I disagree and I think there is plenty of evidence that the gender issue was caused by others, not her. Just because she called them out on it doesn't mean she started it. It was the people who used her gender against her that were the issue. And they are not the facts, they are just your opinion.
