• The interview Mike Willessee conducted with Julia Gillard was a total farce. Why have a LEFTI interviewing another LEFTI? Will not be watching Channel 7 News any more as
  you have shown your true colours.

• evasive, contemptuous, cheating gillard easily answered all her well rehearsed scripted, staged questions with the only casualty being the irrelevant missing truth. it would of been appropriate to see an unstaged probing interview, with off the cuff questions put to cagey well practised gillard, like all the other prime ministers gillard is of course required to give full and frank answers to the expectant electorate. kevin rudd alone beat the unbeatable john howard and when rudd was prime minister he confidently and lucidly answered questions, where as guilty looking, unbelievable, obviously coached gillard looked like she was before a jury and was facing a long gaol term. the sensible money is on kevin rudd who will mercilessly make big changes to the poisonous gillard snake pit.

• ELECTION??
  Why do Labor-Julia Gillard's much wanted $15K pretentious "asylum-seekers" allegedly fleeing very "dangerous" Afghanistan, throw away their identity/passports, just before sailing into Australia? Then go back to their "dangerous" home in Afghanistan for a holiday?? Clearly these "asylum seekers" are very suspect!!!!!! Where I live, there has been a recent influx of shifty young Afghan male "asylum seekers" who hang about the shops wearing islamic attire-dresses, they are not the least bit interested to work and will never assimilate in Australia. In fact 85% of them, after 5 years still refuse to work, preferring $$Centrelink and handouts from Christian groups etc, etc.
  No social graces, Julia Gillard has a well earned reputation for being a ruthless liar! When Julia Gillard walks into a room, people cringe, knowing very well, thinking to themselves here comes that liar.

• Incompetent lying Labor-Julia Gillard keeps harping on about Labor's "big reforms" that are clearly ruining and polarizing Australia. These warped Labor politicians need to reform themselves. It has become abundantly clear, that in the future all political parties must put all their policy, "big reforms" pre-election affirmations in an accountable, legally binding, water tight, executed, contractual Deed before being elected. A safety-net Deed that can terminate the elected government, should that binding Deed be breached in any way. Our politicians' honest conduct is critical to our lives and to have lying, dishonest rogues getting away with blue murder and then waltz-off with huge parliamentary pensions is entirely unacceptable. After such a rotten, distressing 4 years with the failed, deceiving Labor-Kevin Rudd/Julia Gillard government inflicting so much irreparable damage on Australia. Liberal-Tony Abbott must pioneer this safety-net Deed solution. To prove that they are indeed sincere and trustworthy and to give back the disillusioned electorate, their lost trust and confidence. That Australia's best interests will always be protected. After this horrendous, counter-productive, anti- Australia Labor government. N.B. It is no longer a matter of shifty Labor or Liberal brands etc, the cranky, savvy electorate is plainly demanding honesty and integrity first, no matter what party. The previous preferred traditional Labor or Liberal political party idea, has become a complete oxymoron, especially because of Labor's very bad, predictable conduct.
  Bottom line-The electorate is very anxiously wanting an election, which will see the Labor brand wiped out, just like in NSW etc.

• Mike Willesee says about Julia Gillard: ..."she's such a challenge, she doesn't want to answer any personal questions"...do tell Mike, nothing new there. Well in that case, what has she really got to hide? We can all see that most politicians are liars and the rebellious electorate has had a complete gutfull of it. An unrepenting Prime Minister Julia Gillard has proudly turned lying into an art form. Julia Gillard has become the mother of lies and deception in our very troubling "modern" Australian political scene. Lying and totally untrustworthy, Julia Gillard is such a dreadful roll model for our searching for truth, lost and confused younger generation.
