Divisive? She cobbled together a minority government of independents and the Greens. The independents praised her consensus-driven approach. They supported her more than her own party.

How was she divisive?

Poor Libturds, faced with poor PMs they have to go after a Labor PM to hide the fact their PMs have been crap.

Fraser, did nothing for eight years, despite control of the Senate.

Howard—fed a boom, pissed $350Bn boom time revenues up against the wall, privatised Telstra as a monopoly. His pork and wealthfare built into the Budget with Costello’s now unaffordable tax cuts are the cause of the record deficits and debt.

abbott, did not formulate any policies, with his Treasurer hokey destroyed what confidence there was in the heavily indebted private sector.

Turncoat—is continuing abbott’s “policies” so will be no better but will explode at some time, revealing his true character and his temper, so even Scoot can’t fail to see what an insecure persom Turncoat is.

I'd say malcolm is possibly the most "secure" person to ever enter parliament.
the guy doesnt need the dough, he has great and proper self esteem due to his awesome success.
I would think for malcolm like many great rightards , its about a sense of 'contribution"

Surely you can see that people like Gates and Jobs didnt need the money.
Jobs even kept contributing when he was dying of cancer.

what inspirational people the successful business people are.
something for us all to aspire to be.

i would hope you put a poster of malcolm on your bedroom wall monk to meditate on when you are trying to self-actualise

The trouble is, you just sit and read old self help books and don’t even understand what you read. The Turnbull temper is well known. He is insecure because his mother left when he was still a boy and some say (not saying I endorse this) that everything he has done and achieved (and he has, a fair bit, including betrayal of employers) is to impress his absent mother.

But unflappable only when things go his way. You should get out in the real world a bit, Scoot. You are a very ignorant person.

good grief.
His mother leaves when he is a young boy and instead of being a cry-baby or taking up petty crime, he goes on to be the prime minister and YOU see this as taking a "flawed" path in life to try and impress an absent mother.

I do believe you require a psychologist more urgently then malcolm.

Why do the left see success as failure?
So much retraining required. Cheesy

I never said what you just posted. No wonder your self help books don’t help you, you read what you want to read into everything!

Julia Gillard trades insults with opposition leader after Speaker Peter Slipper's sexist language is revealed in harassment case

The Speaker of the Australian parliament has resigned after text messages revealed he had used sexist and vulgar language in an exchange with a former staffer, who is suing him for sexual harassment.

Peter Slipper's resignation followed a heated debate in parliament during which the prime minister, Julia Gillard, and the conservative opposition leader, Tony Abbott, traded insults over the use of misogynistic language in politics.

The offending text messages, revealed as part of court proceedings against Slipper, described female genitalia as looking like "a mussel removed from its shell".

"Look at a bottle of mussel meat! Salty front bottoms in brine!" he continued in his text message to former staffer James Ashby. "Been to thw (sic) fish shop yet to buy the bottle of shell less mussells (sic)?"

At question time Abbott, leader of the Liberal party, called for Slipper to be sacked. The Speaker stood aside earlier this year, pending the outcome of the legal proceedings, but retained many of the perks of the office.

"This Speaker's actions are this prime minister's responsibility and this Speaker's standards perforce are this prime minister's standards, unless she has the responsibility and the decency to remove this Speaker from this high office," Abbott told the house.

Gillard hit back, saying she "would not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man [Abbott]. Not now, not ever."

so Gillards plan of attack to protect a Misogynistic Peado was to Call Abbott himself a Misogynist ...

and didn't the leftist media run with it.. grub of a failure of a woman...

Yes yes. She declared a war among the genders. Clearly.

She never used her gender as an excuse for anything.

And she was quite a successful Prime Minister. Got more through a tricky parliament than Tony came even close to.

Probably the best PM of the last few decades.

You really are a silly person. I thought you loved Hawke and Keating?

Didn't like Hawke that much Keating was better but only barely scrapes into the last 2 decades by 1 year, almost said close to two decades for that reason.

Cay you say anything without you obligatory insult added in

No she can't. It is after-all, the main part of her arguments.

Lets not forget that anyone who questioned the climate change church was immediately labelled a denier and unworthy of having their view heard or considered. She also hated with a passion anyone who wore a blue tie for some mystifying reason. Why not brown or black or purple ties, Juliar?

You're kidding, right? She blames her downfall on her being attacked because she was a woman. She also had a rather easy parliament to work with, thanks to her depraved marriage between the ALP and Greens.
