I can't say that I would vote for the woman if I were an MP, as she hasn't got the public demeanour that you need, to be a successful leader...however...

When people talk about the leadership challenge they say Beazley, Rudd (well up until an hour ago) and then...oh yeah, Gillard.

She seems to be a token contester...no one is taking her seriously...

I'd like to know why.
Is it because she hasn't got that friendly face or the cheerful ease with the media?
Or is it because no one has ever considered a woman running the country?
Or does everyone just expect Kimmy to be the new leader, cause he's pretty much the only one doing anything about it?

I was going to say, interesting edit reason.

i think that it is a combination of australia really not being ready to elect a female as PM, who knows why but i think we really prefer to stick with whats been done before.. and also that she doesnt really come across as a leader of a country, i mean i look at her and think of that bitchy teacher that i never liked, but yeah

Because she'd only receive support from the hardline left faction.

disturbing isn't it? Really, you should try to be just a touch less judgemental my dear, my pop-punk-poser love etc. has nothing to do with my political opinions.

Breaking- There, there *pets* you know you love me

Yes it does, some one on the 'far' left as u claim to be would hate such commercialism, u seem to love it, thrive in it.

haha how far left do you mean? I'm taking left-labor here my dear.
Oh and for the record, you don't know me nearly well enough to assume that I love and thrive on commercialism Which incidently I don't.

bla bla bla

this is conservative australia and no one will vote for her. very simple.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I think a more diplomatic, calm woman could be elected at this time... but at the moment a hard hitting leftist doesn't do that good.

i think gillard is a good politician, but isnt suitable for leader just yet.

Leaders have to put up with being thrashed around, getting cruicified for small mistakes, past mistakes, family mistakes etc right?

i'd vote for her, but i dont think she will tolerate much of this trashing. Shes done a good job with health, thats why she hasnt experienced much of it yet.

like when the speaker interrupts her speeches, she doesnt speak above the speaker, like all the other blokes, she pauses, waits for the speaker to descipline the pollys and then continues like nothing has happened.

she needs more agression i think she'll get it in time..... dont all pollys grow up into that kind of a grumpy old image????????

I think it's time we had a viable third party. One with good moral values, yet recognises the virtue of economic left policy.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Aggression? she is the only hard hitting labor politician left.

True. She has balls...in the non transexual sense.

 

[Ziff]

She sure has a lot of chutzpah!

any woman who stands in front of a bbq like she does has some balls. there was a fair bit of meat on that bbq

 

[mayhemily]

she is so left wing she's almost communist. Her voice is annoying. She has big ears.
