Gillard - the most divisive PM since Keating. She is a disgrace.
Rudd - the Russian strategist. Every football club has them. If I dont get my way, I'll lay waste until I do.

I support her on the NBN, on Climate Change action, on almost every policy and think she just gets criticised no matter what she does, while Mr Abbott talks crap and gets away with little or no scrutiny.

But now she's done her dash with me!

She didn't ....ing curtsy to the Queen of England :shock:

The lowest point in her life according to June Dally-Watkins in the lead story on the ABC website, titled "Off with her head", FFS.

I'm with you, June, it's a disgrace. She's got to go.

I'm waiting for the faceless men who run labor and who gave us the Gillard disaster to break cover and give their version of recent events- Paul Howes, Mark Arbib, Bill Shorten can all have a go.

Well if these allegations are upheld she might well be going to the slammer ...

CASH from a union slush fund was paid directly into the pockets of builders who were renovating the home of former prime minister Julia Gillard, the Royal Commission into union corruption has heard.

Giving evidence at the commission, self-confessed union bagman Ralph Blewitt said he walked into Ms Gillard’s Melbourne home and under the instruction of Australian Workers’ Union secretary Bruce Wilson, gave $7000 in cash to a builder renovating Ms Gillard’s kitchen and veranda.

He confirmed Ms Gillard was in the home at the time of the transaction.

Mr Wilson, who attacked News Corp photographer Sam Mooy as he left the court today, was dating Ms Gillard at the time.

Looks like Julia Gillard and possibly Bill Shorten have a bit of explaining to do after the revelations at the royal commission into union corruption yesterday. This is shaping up to be Labor's version of the NSW ICAC. I hope both enquiries root out all corruption on both sides of politics and duly punish those responsible.

Watching Julia Gillard being questioned on ABC News now at the trade union royal commission, she is quite easily shooting down allegations that she knew about payments, none of the evidence given shows she knew, and some of the evidence given shows that it wasn't a part of her role at the time to know. She was involved in the chasing up of a cheque from the Commonwealth Bank but that was on request of her after payments had been made.

Sounds like she is being questioned by ASADA.

This royal commission is a farce and waste of tax payers money just so Tony can get his jollys having Gillard put through this circus.

Spot on.

If Abbott was serious about stamping out corruption he should set up a Federal ICAC, but there's buckleys chance the coalition will put this forward, and even less chance that Labor would support it.

Oink, oink ...

Nothing more than political point scoring.

Then Shorten will get in and send Abbott to a Royal Commission for something he's done, back and forward it will go.

Since the Pink Bat episode with Rudd it's been all about point scoring while wasting millions upon millions of tax payer dollars for a net result of ZERO!
PAFC. Forever.

the one good thing with Rudd is he didn't call for a Royal Commission over Howard and the Weapon of Mass destruction when there was pressure around him to do so

Being a "Foreign Affairs" area, there's usually less scope for point-scoring.

Probably wouldn't have impressed the Yanks either.
