Julia Gillard - liar

It's misogyny.

He told listeners today that $320 million would be spent by Australia promoting Pacific island women in business and politics.

"She (the Prime Minister) said that we know societies only reach their full potential if women are politically participating," he told listeners.

"Women are destroying the joint - Christine Nixon in Melbourne, Clover Moore here. Honestly."

Mr Jones was speaking on air with Nationals Senate Leader Barnaby Joyce about the sale of cotton farm Cubbie Station to Chinese interests.

Asking Senator Joyce if he wanted "a bit of a laugh" he mentioned the aid program, saying the money would have been enough to buy Cubbie Station and keep it in Australian hands.

Mr Jones dismissed critics: "There's no chaff bag big enough for these people."

Women are destroying the joint, did he refer to Gillard as "the Yabbie"?
 
Would anyone like to defend the yabbie's lie about the carbon tax floor price?
This decision still makes no sense to me.

She really has capitulated and/or her lies shown to be just those recently. Firstly on the offshore processing issue where the Coalition's policies wouldn't work - when an independent body of her choosing say they do.
And then this massive backflip (lie) about the floor price. WTF!?!?!?!


eta. Oh! And her budget surplus looks like it is in the toilet.

Here's another great big idea from the Gonski report. The PM has announced new plans and some $6.5 billion for education. Sounds like a great idea except all she gave the public was fluff. There are no details as to where the money is to come from nor how the scheme/reforms would work in practice.

From The Age

Some of these reforms seem specious.

Gillard says under the government's plan, students will need to be at the top of their class to get into teaching at university. However, university entrance rankings are based in part on demand for courses and while teaching remains a relatively low-paid, low-status profession this seems unlikely.

Another exerpt from The Age's economics editor.

But after nine months of reading and discussing the report, all she gave us yesterday was support for its key principles, mixed with undeliverable aspirations, syrupy platitudes, and heavy-handed, even absurd plans for more federal bureaucratic intervention in schools, university courses and teacher hiring.

There was no plan on how to finance her suggested $6.5 billion a year increase in schools funding - at a time when state governments are broke, and Treasury secretary Martin Parkinson has warned that the overloaded federal government faces years of low tax revenues.

So we have another major announcement that will never come to pass, that is unfunded, and is simplly filled with 'syrupy platitudes'.

I hope no one buys the crap she is peddling.
 
Speaking of summaries - here's one from The Drum.

Much of the criticism of the Prime Minister is shallow, hysterical and/or sexist, but she deserves everything she cops over this week's education policy announcement.

It was little more than a political stunt - a desperate attempt to use rhetoric to try to regain some political initiative. After nine months of considering the Gonski Review of School Funding, nothing has been achieved beyond copying some of the report's words into a press release.

It is plain that tax revenue will now decline with the terms of trade; the only question is how big the budget deficit is likely to be this year and beyond.

So her hand on heart "no ifs, not buts, it will happen" budget surplus is a just another lie.
 
Lindsay Tanner is out and about at the moment supporting Kevin Rudd - denying his leadership was dysfunctional. He is also getting support from Robert McClelland (that name rings a bell) and Maxine McKew.

Someone is lying about the events surrounding his knifing.

Who cares what Maxine McKew thinks?

Lindsay Tanners support also gets Kevin precisely no votes.

You don't think this whole thing smacks of more instability within Labor?
Leigh Sales seemed to think so - did you see her interview?

She is a nasty piece of work.
 
CONSERVATIVE states are not responsible for big increases in electricity prices and do not need to be threatened in a quest for ''cheap'' headlines, the Resources Minister, Martin Ferguson, has said, just months after the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, made such claims.

More dissent from the ranks?

''The states do not control the regulatory authorities that set prices and any suggestion that they do has no basis in fact and is a cheap shot .."

but.. but.. Julia said it was the Liberal premiers.

Certainly more lies from Gillard - or should that be Ferguson who is one of the only truly honest and principled men in the government. I'm pretty sure (read positive) its the former.
 
Repeated attacks on Gillard = Pathological Misogyny.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-09-30/jones-says-pms-dad-27died-of-shame27/4287770

Former New South Wales Labor MP Meredith Burgmann says Alan Jones is on a "pathological pursuit" of Ms Gillard.

It's quite clear that it's gone beyond political discussion," she said.

"It is now a pursuit, it's gender language, it's quite misogynistic.

"What he said the other night when he thought he was saying it among friends is just the final remark in a series of vicious, vicious attacks on the Prime Minister."

It's not the final remark, not by a long way.

The remarks were taken "out of context".

The Sydney University Liberal Club has this morning apologised for Jones's comments, but says they were taken out of context.

According to Jones, though, you are just "being weak".

"No, no look, hang on, this is where we are weak. This is where we are weak," Jones said. "Can you believe that they have gone, the federal party because they've been brainwashed by the media to 'oh back off, she's a woman, go easy'."

Jones said that in the same speech as he made the ugly remarks - not after the apology from the Liberal Club, which is what you seem to be implying here.
