Things to admire about PM Gillard

[Todman]

Here is a positive story on Gillard. Interestingly unlike many ex-politicians she hasn't gone into business but is dedicating herself to roles that she supported whilst in parliament.

Why would she go into business when she is a fabian?

Helping Beyondblue is a positive.

I meant it as a positive.

Pretty popular with the Green types for a conservative turd. That's an admirable talent/trick.

So its inconsistent with being in business and being a Fabian? The flat out ignorance or ideological blindness on this Board is sometimes depressing. Here's hoping that is a poor attempt at a troll. If you were a militant revolutionary socialist it might be bad for business (but it did not seem to damage Engel's cotton spinnning business Ermen & Engels) but if you thought socialism would come about by talking to people then why is that inconsistent with being in business - in the latter years of the Fabian Society it did not even mean that!!!

Amazing, isn't it? Shows Green types aren't too smart.

She really buggered disabled folk with her Centrelink changes.

i admired Gillard for one reason, she tendered her resignation, but it could have been a bit sooner

Kennet didnt get a gig either. Maybe not corrupt enough

Btw wasnt gillard "hired" by a law firm ?

 

[Maggie5]

What business would hire Gillard?

Uni lecturer - Education/Law
Legal Firm - knows better now
Lobbyist
Board member
Now, if you were asking about Rudd, then you would have stumped me.

 

[Contra Mundum]

I admire how her house got repaired using stolen money she had no knowledge of.

I think you would find that that is a defamatory imputation and not consistent with Davros' findings of fact

Julia was a breath of fresh air. Her policies were made for the long term good of the country. She wielded power like it was a precious thing that can benefit all. Only Bob Brown and Penny Wong have impressed me as much as the former Prime Minister.

Julia wasn't perfect, though. I was disappointed on her personal stance on gay marriage. It is a simple human rights issue - not a religious one or a moral one.

Here is the contradiction, the right thing to do would legalise gay marriage. But politically the alp would lose votes, Julia was as much a political animal as most of them she was just better at hiding it.

I don't think she achieved much at all for what it's worth.

Last night we lost an historic figure.

The first female Australian Prime Minister was dedicated to improving Australia and her biggest legacy will be the investment in education that will see Australia in good stead come the next generation.

Julia came to office in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis and has now left politics before the world has recovered from it. In her term of office she has focused on health, on mental health, on education, on disability reform, on climate change, on bringing us high speed internet network to drag Australia almost up to the standard that rest of the world takes for granted and almost without wanting to she was dragged into womens' rights issues.


Julia has paved the way for women to make it to the highest office (and the non-religious). She worked hard to achieve her goals and handled herself with class and dignity. She remains a hero of mine.

I believe that Australia is simply not ready for a female leader.
We allowed the office of Prime Minister to be reduced in stature or esteem because it was a woman holding that office. Derogation and disrespect has been widespread since she took office - mainly from the opposition, but not just from these classless buffoons, it grew wider in the public because the mistreatment of this woman was so rampant that our society began to accept it.

Julia was forced to stand up for herself. She made a famous speech about the misogyny shown by the opposition (it should have been the leader of the opposition's role to reign in his party's primitive behavior - except he was the worst of them). Julia's response was hailed world wide as one of great character. The rest of the world envied Australia in what a wonderful leader we have here. Now she has gone.

Rich religious white men now hold the reigns of both parties. It is a huge step backwards in the status of women in this country, and for human rights in general.

This is the most naive and one-eyed statements ever posted on BigFooty.

Well you'd be the well practised expert about that

Another gem.

Watching good little Maxist Julia getting shafted at the 11th hour by the man she shafted in a perfect act of revenge was one of the more enjoyable things I have ever witnessed. That single act ended the careers - once and for all - of the #1 worst PM in Australian history (Gillard) and the #3 worst (Rudd).

What on earth has being a Fabian got to do with going into business. It's the manner in which you conduct that business that has meaning.

Regarding beyondblue. Let's hope Julia is doing it on an honorary basis unlike Kennett.

And where do you place Tone on this list?

You obviously haven't seen much of Dan26 work on this forum....

If you removed the one eyed posts, we would only have a few posters on this forum once we eliminate both sides of bias...

I know its another argument, but how is it the right thing ? Its just the wishes of yet another lobby group
