Dear [Subscriber]

Whenever there is a change of Prime Minister, it is an historic time for all Australians.

There are many things Julia Gillard and we as Liberals may agree on: reward for hard work, support for families, encouragement for small business and aiming to secure our future.

But what really matters to Australians are the clear differences that exist between Labor and the Liberals on how these goals are achieved, and who is actually able to achieve them.

It’s not about what Ms Gillard says now - it’s about the way Labor operates and who can deliver.

Today’s decision brings no real end to the uncertainty created by Labor’s failed policy and complete mismanagement.

Ms Gillard has been at the heart of every poor decision made by this Government.

She is part and parcel of the uncertainty created by Labor’s massive debt and Labor’s reckless spending and waste. She is part and parcel of Labor’s soft approach to border security. She is part and parcel of Labor’s failure to take on dysfunctional State Labor Governments when it comes to service delivery.

Above all, as part of this Government, Ms Gillard has adopted a faction-influenced, poll-driven approach to running our country - envy taxes, policy flip-flops, and broken promises – the product of a Government pre-occupied by day to day political fixes.

With Labor, you never know what’s next. Today, Australians got a new Prime Minister. What broken promises, what political distraction and what failed policies are around the corner we can’t say. But we do know it will depend on the next Newspoll.

By contrast, with the Liberals what you see is what you get.

This is what this contest is really all about.

Hmmnnn...in no part of this was there a single mention of any of the words 'lead', 'leader' nor 'leadership'...

Nor any mention of the toxic name Tony Abbott!?

Curiously, the word 'part' rated a total of 4 mentions by the Lib propagandists!?

I presume that the word 'part' will henceforth be 'part and parcel' of the Libs' great big piss on everything strategy!?

Seriously, I'll never understand the bizarre capacity for partisan doublethink that Conservatives share...

Doublethink?  Look who's talking! You have a two-faced Ying AND Yang in your avatar- and it's revolving!  How's that for covering all bases and standing for nothing?? Talk about double think...

we will see one day, for absolute certain, what the ordinary Australian workers you describe are like - they are not the inheritors of communistic cyncism, nor Party champagne socialists, they are ordinary decent people who don't like grasping, backstabbing party factions - and when they finally see this sort of philosophy in action, like today, they get "disturbed". These labor politicians will pay for this at the next election. Tony Abbott is a "straight shooter" at least, he is conservative, and will probably turn out to be pig-headed after a term or so, then they will be booted out as usual. But these people who have done this today will not be respected by the Australian electorate, you watch. It would be like being complicit to something wrong to support them.

A very large number of people will vote in Gillard to save face in front of themselv

Then again, one can always vote 1, 2,2,2,etc on the ballot paper just to stop the preferences flowing.

that's a fundamental thing about leftardism that i can't understand.

they hate all rich people.
but all the rich people i know are the best people.
a country with NO rich people is terrible.
you really want to encourage rich people.

Plato, I believe, wrote that the fate of all democracies is class warfare. Too right! How does it happen - attitudes like the cynicism and jealousy of the politics of the left. The extreme version is communism - they simply take everything off you.
There is not much to understand about it, with respect - the left does not like people with money, they do not like the profit motive, they think people who operate in that system are shady. The source of public funding is taxation - nothing to do with other people having to make profits, which is somehow dirty - that's how they think, and that's how a lot of people in Australia think. It has quite a leftist perception in it's culture which it has inherited from times past.

gee I'm glad this forum is here for all the world to see.

English born Gillard will do nothing to dispel that image with her extreme left background.
I hope she gets as good as she has given to Rudd. I would like to see that day. Spit the dummy and back to England for sure.

gee I'm glad this forum is here for all the world to see.

don't vote for labor, they have colluded for decades now in the export of Australian jobs to other countries and they are still doing it by the inexorable process of removing assistance to those "nasty people who run their own businesses and farmers" who produce the food so we don't have to import it who now can't afford to keep going because of cheap imports that don't cost any less at the supermarket anyway.

Tell them there's no recession, leftie commie. Got a nice cushy government job have you?

oh, look, another arrogant foul mouthed laborite.

..yeah, yeah, and before you voted greens you were still an arrogant foul mouthed laborite. Weren't you.

thanks for the stats, pommyskippy, gee I didn't know about that!!
wow, too bad labor got nobbled by the Senate eh.

gee you're an ignoramus fella. pommyskippies like you really need a good swift one.

go on, get angry, you can do it, you arrogant foul-mouthed leftie.
