If you haven't seen the video of the Australian Federal House of "Representatives" echoing empty, with Mess Gillard addressing it, tune in to your local TV news anytime soon, or consult the web:

Why were all other MPs (her "own" party included) "too busy" to attend? Could it be that her reputation as a sanity-challenged Third World Trollop has finally penetrated the dim-witted "minds" of Federal MPs?

Should really be politics board and then we can keep this one for relatively sane interchanges. Just mo.

What a detestable thread. Regardless of your political affiliation there is no need to denigrate the PM in this way. Lower than a snakes belly.

She does seem to bring out the worst in people.  ;D

It sounded staged to me, Controlled Utterances Never True

Should really be thrown in the rubbish skip with rest rest of the rotting garbage.

It was not the appearance that should be shown to a nation by a PM.

Yes, peoples struggling with a disability is very sad.
A change of heart may mean growing as a person for the average punter, but blubbering flip-flops don't do well for a PM and the confidence of a nation.

There's no use blubbering and pleading with anybody to take care of those who can't take care of themselves. The nation already wants that if possible.

More work, less p(l)ay is the common message of any government.
We'll work as hard as we do, as hard as we need, as hard as we desire, and as hard as we are inspired to thankyou very much.

The woman just can't win, can she?  She's criticised for being cold and barren at one moment and now for being too emotional at the next.    ::)

Politicians shouldn't be there to win should they?
I reckon they are (or should be) voted in or out due to the courage of their conviction.
If they are off the mark, then the public doesn't vote for them, or votes them out because they are public servants.

Don't know any politicians do you? They are only there to win ... their convictions don't even come second in their list of considerations, second is if they can't win, stuff it up for those that can ....  you don't want a politician running the country, you want a saint.

Of course they are there to win. They are frikin' power hungry assholes the lot of them, because that's what you vote for.

I know that, I wasn't the one asking for the saint, I was merely explaining the reality of it to Amadd.

However for some reason the abbott supporters cant admit that

SOB

Therefore, the PM by showing the courage of her convictions over this issue obviously should win, compared to the performance of the Tories over this issue:
