Back closer to topic: What do you guys think of Senator Carr bringing the Kroger children is as political fodder to deflect from his and Gillard's shortcomings.
Fair game?

Senator Carr.
This post refers.
Galaxy boss David Briggs said apart from speculation about another leadership challenge, Ms Gillard's other problem was the lack of trust.
Sixty three per cent of voters did not believe her claims she was only recruited on the day Mr Rudd was overthrown as prime minister in 2010.
...all was not well. Not only was the government in conflict with its cross benches about the budget, but the controversy over Gillard’s role in a 17-year-old union corruption scandal had been revived.
NEW MATERIAL HAS EMERGED
Unfortunately for Gillard, new material has emerged, the opposition has got it all, and there is a deep concern within the government that she remains both vulnerable to a renewed focus on the issue and dangerously resistant to discussing it with her colleagues.
Conspicuously sensitive to new questions about the issue, the Prime Minister continued to claim last week in federal parliament that she had dealt with all the allegations that had been made against her.

The financial review? Seriously?
I'm about to fall aslee... Zzzzzzzzz
''I was not in charge of the conveyancing file,'' she told journalists during a visit to Laos.
LAW firm Slater & Gordon has contradicted Julia Gillard's claim that she was not in charge of legal work for the purchase in 1993 of a Fitzroy property later found to have been bought with stolen union money.
But Slater & Gordon managing director Andrew Grech has confirmed Ms Gillard ''acted directly'' in the conveyancing work on the property purchase. The confirmation came in documents lodged with the Australian Press Council in support of a complaint against Fairfax newspapers and this journalist over reporting of the firm's role in the Australian Workers Union ''slush fund'' scandal.
A UNION employee who was concerned about wrongdoing told the national head of the Australian Workers Union in June 1996 that he deposited about $5000 cash into Julia Gillard's bank account at the request of her then boyfriend Bruce Wilson.
The disclosure by Wayne Hem forms part of a contemporaneous and confidential 150-plus-page diary that was kept by the then AWU joint national secretary, Ian Cambridge, now a Fair Work Australia commissioner.
The Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, told her law firm partners she knew nothing about the mortgage on a Fitzroy property, bought partly with union money stolen by her former boyfriend, despite having been involved in the mortgage arrangements for the property two years earlier.
A 1993 bank letter confirms that Ms Gillard - then a salaried partner with law firm Slater & Gordon - received an insurance certificate of currency, which was required for approval of a $150,000 mortgage provided by the firm's loan department.
But Ms Gillard denied knowledge of the mortgage when challenged by the firm's managing partners in late 1995, after they first discovered her involvement in the work.
The Age did not intend to imply that Ms Gillard was involved in any fraud or that she had knowledge of it.

Which contradicts what I posted to the tune of precisely zero.![]()
