Well i'm not a rusted-on boxy and i wouldn't vote for her here or at the next election... (not that I get a chance to).
Only a fool would vote Labor back in.

Is that a fact, Roach, or just your opinion?

It's a bit of both actually... did you have hydrocephalus as a child?

A far more worthy recipient that Obama and Gillard.
What have they contributed other than promising the world and giving an atlas?



If the Australian public were allowed to vote on this, I'm sure they would vote for Assange before Gillard.

In fact, I think they will at some point in the foreseeable future.

SPEERS: If you don't get the budget back into surplus in three years, what happens? Do you sack the Treasurer, do you take personal responsibility?

Gillard: It's happening, David. Failure is not an option.

Speers: If it doesn't? If it doesn't?

Gillard: Well, failure is not an option here and we won't fail.

For the ALP, failure is always an option....usually the first

Failure isn't an option IQS... it's Mandatory.

Regardless of the many prejudices Alan Jones' arouses in people - he does a lot of good for a lot of people just by speaking up for them. He's also kind and has been generous with his time.

He'd be worthy of being nominated.
