Gee I think I must have heard a different speech from the one that you are talking about.
I found it rather inspiring & uplifting.
"Parliamentarians should ask not 'is this in my party's interest?' but 'is this in my nation's interest?',"
Maybe she should have said.
"Parliamentarians & all Australians should ask not 'is this in my party's interest?' but 'is this in my nation's interest?'"
"Ms Gillard said she understood Mr Abbott's approach.
'And I appreciate it's a strong temptation for a leader of the opposition who came so closely to victory,' she said.
'But I think there'll be a lot of disappointment in our community if that easy option is taken.'
She is correct in that.
She knows he is a misogynist & can't stand the thought that he was beaten by a Woman
"Ms Gillard likened the National Broadband Network (NBN) to the post-World War II plan to build the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme 'which, like the NBN, in its time was also decried and attacked by the Liberal Party'."
Yes she is on this Planet, She wants to bring the Australian people together as one.
Can we do whats best for the Nation? Nah, no way!
WOW,, two years ago I wrote that.
How does that old saying go?... The more things change, the more they stay the same.
http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s3611115.htmI particularly like this, "When you have the likes of Michelle Grattan, Peter Hartcher, Peter van Onselen, Jennifer Hewett, Geoff Kitney, Phillip Coorey, and Dennis Shanahan all spouting essentially the same line in attacking the Prime Minister - a line at odds with the many people's own interpretation of events - people wonder what the point of such journalism is.

Easier being a sheep & following along with the mob then it is to write a balanced story.
