Julia Gillard wants voters to judge her on her record and move forward. She does not explain how voters are supposed to judge that record given that she has only been an unelected Prime Minster for one day in Parliament and a little over three weeks in front of a fawning media.
The Federal election does not have to be held for another seven months. If Julia was dinkum in her desire to have voters judge her on her record she would give them time to do so. Voters would then be able to judge her performance in Parliament but then her role in Kevin Rudd’s political assassination would have been revealed. Better to go early than risk that.
Julia obviously does not want us to know she was under the influence of Labor powerbroker, Mark Arbib, and reneged on a deal she made with Rudd before knifing him on Arbib’s orders. She has good cause to fear Arbib and do exactly what he says. He has a record of successful political assassinations to his credit – two NSW Premiers and a Prime Minister. Arbib is the most powerful and ruthless political operator in Australia today and Julia will stay in the job for as long as she obeys him.
Julia also wants voters to move forward. Of course she does. The last thing she wants is people returning to her political dung heap.
She wants them to forget that she helped put out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants by reversing John Howard’s policies which had effectively stopped boats arriving at Centrelink. No amount of spin will change the fact that more and more boats will arrive while ever Labor governs Australia.
Julia does not want voters to know she was the most powerful figure in Labor’s ‘gang of four’ that squandered the $50 billion dollars left to them by the Howard Government and has since racked up an alarming mountain of debt that will take generations to pay off.
Their attempt to use the mining industry as scapegoats for their economic incompetence backfired and threatened our sovereign risk as a nation. Arbib moved Julia forward on this issue. She knifed Rudd and set up a deal with their big unions and the big end of town to get the issue off the agenda until after the election. Never mind that our budget is now $6 billion worse off.
There is an abundance of other political dung heaps with Julia’s name attached to them. Rorts and rip-offs in her Building Education Revolution, the Copenhagen catastrophe, the home insulation fiasco, the Green loans disaster, fuel-watch, grocery-watch, etc.
No amount of lip gloss will cover the stench of Labor’s dung-heaps since Julia was elected. It’s little wonder she wants us to move forward.
