Gillard is fine but her entire existence is 'I'm a woman, unmaried, and atheist' instead of 'I stabbed a popular PM in the back for my position'. Undermined the Labor's integrity and set up a future for seven straight years of Liberal hi-jinx. The idea was the Rudd would lose the upcoming election and a change in leadership would prevent that...guess what eventually happened, Rudd replaced Gillard because her popularity was plummeting and Labor lost the 2013 election. Brav-fucking-o. now Labor has the public image of instability further exasperated by 'da Liberals are better ecanomik managerz'. Though Gillard took the huge hit of handling immigration and asylum seeking, so she has the notch in her belt.
Yeah, it is nice that she skinned Tony Abbott alive in parliament but Tony Abbott is also a simple minded man whose incompetence can be read like a book, however in that incompetence you can at least admit Abbott has best intentions at heart and is a human being with moral compass however skewed by the Liberal party, which is more than can be said for Scotty from marketing.
