Julia Gillard - the Lady Macbeth of Australian Politics
Kevin Rudd was considered the worst PM in Australia's history, well that was until Julia Gillard came along. With the tragic and
appalling death of up to 50 women, children, babies and men in the last 24 hours as a boatload of asylum seekers crashed on the
rocks at Christmas Island we need to understand where the responsibility lies,
When Howard was in office - as shadow minister Julia Gillard said quite clearly - "Another boat arrival, represents another policy failure" - Julia Gillard April 23rd 2003.
Laurie Oaks took her to task on this as recently as a year ago about her ongoing failure in boat people policy to provide an effective deterrent for people to take life threatening trips to Australia.
Yet in the Lowy Institute speech in July 2010 Julia Gillard said - "We will not let asylum seekers drown". Gillard also went on
to say;
"Today I am announcing steps to strengthen Australia's border protection arrangements. I am setting out the long-term approach we
will take to dealing with the pressure of unauthorised arrivals.
We are taking these steps in response to the increase in unauthorised people movements in our region and around the world."
"I am also making the Government's policy goal clear: it is to wreck the people smuggling trade by removing the incentive for
boats to leave their port of origin in the first place; to remove both the profitability of the trade and the danger of the voyage".Yet since then boat arrivals have only increased. More and more people have put their lives at risk as Gillard has squandered billions
of dollars on them whilst ignoring the welfare of her own people. As an Indonesian minister said 'When Australia stops putting sugar
on the table, the boat people problem will stop'.Yet the sugar has become a mountain luring many to their deaths. Who wrote the
boat people policy?
In relation to boat people policy Gillard said "I was the substantive author of a policy paperwhich became Labor's policy". Under Labor Policies in 2010 boat arrivals have doubled to an all time record! It seems the only
solution Gillard has is to spin a web of lies. So much for peoples lives lost in the process.
If there is one person who is responsible for this tragedy then by her own words it is Julia Gillard. Julia Gillard the Lady Macbeth
of Australian politics has blood on her hands - her failed policy, her failed actions, her statement that another boat arrival represents
another failure. It is time for Julia Gillard to go. Not only can we no longer afford her (BER disaster, insulation disaster, Braadband
disaster, grocery watch disaster, fuel watch disaster etc) but now her incompetence is costing many innocent peoples lives.
