“In a choice between macho and mincing, I would have gone for macho myself. And obviously the Leader of the Opposition (Malcolm Turnbull), faced with the choice of a doberman or poodle, has gone for the poodle. Presumably he prefers Abba to Cold Chisel, because that is the kind of thing we see on display.”
Julia Gillard compares Christopher Pyne unfavorably to Tony Abbott.
“THERE really isn’t any doubt any more about whether the Deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has the killer instinct.
The problem tends more to be how to drag her off the victim’s body.”
Annabel Crabb, who also observed:
“Later she unblinkingly answered a question from Warren Truss concerning urinary dipsticks.
One suspects that Ms Gillard has seen rather a lot during her time in politics, including the odd urinary dipstick.
Hence her composure.”
“KEVIN Rudd had best keep a close eye on Deputy PM Julia Gillard. Anyone who watched question time last week could not have helped being struck by Gillard’s relaxed and confident handling of the top job at the dispatch boxes. She was so self-assured and polished that you rather wished Kev08 would spend more time travelling. He is so studied and so addicted to using 100 words when 10 would do that you almost cringe when a question is put to him, knowing that the next 10 minutes of your life are going to be wasted.”
“The average pub conversation is likely to canvass something political: Kevin Rudd cliches, the price of petrol, the evolution of Julia Gillard’s hair, Morris Iemma’s uselessness…”
Rachel Olding reports on a political debate held in a pub.
