‘JULIA GILLARD has been forced to withdraw Australia’s support for Israel in an upcoming United Nations vote after being opposed by the vast majority of her cabinet and warned she would be rolled by the caucus.
….The Right faction, which would usually support Ms Gillard, backed an abstention, in part due to the views of its members that the government was too pro-Israel, and also because many MPs in western Sydney, who are already fearful of losing their seats, are coming under pressure from constituents with a Middle East background.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

You guys have a problem ……………… there’s a faction to left of Gillard!
We have a problem …………… Shearer is not left enough for half of his party.
That’s OK, mawm. John Key isn’t far enough left for half *his* party either!
Funny, I thought that he was pullling them all to the left………….except for Finlayson, Smith, English……..
In order to “pull” you have to have spine and muscle. Neither of which the invertebrate Quisling possesses. Finlayson and Joyce (and to a lesser extent English) are running the agenda. And they’ve taken the shipwreck formerly known as SS NZ and turned her hard-a-port.
Nice guy! What sewer did you crawl out of?
At least Israeli’s don’t drag corpses behind motorcycles, hide behind their women and children, stone adulteresses to death………Oh, I could go on but it would be wasted.
Just wished him away…..and he’s gooooone!
See, even if he’d been allowed to stay, you were trying reason and logic with him. You might just as well try to teach your labrador how to play Rachmaninov.
That’s +1 arsehole consigned to the trash bin.
And back on-topic, once again political expediency slimes its way over what little principle this disgusting administration may have possessed. Just when it looked like Julia Gillard might, for the very first time in her entire time as PM, be looking to do the right thing, the bullies and dhimmies in her own tribe bash her back into line.
Look , I know this link is off topic but I don’t know how to put it on this site but it answers questions about Gillard and Soetoro…….she/he is a sociapath.

Sorry about doing it this way but read it and tell me where I’m wrong?
D.T.
D.T., you can do it any way you like. We’re not too bothered by stuff like that. :cheers
Thanks for the link. (and off-topic is just fine).
Julia Gillard is just another Helen Clark. Australia vote her out the first chance you get.
Further to the above, not that this pathetic government with John Key as PM is doing much better,
I fear that an Abbot government will be as spineless, as would a Romney government have been, and as Cameron is. The only one breaking the mould is Harper……..and then it is all too little too late anyway. There are just too many people who want to live off other peoples money. :rant
We need some Tories (Repubs) with spine, enough spine to push back all the Labour (Left) social welfare and multiculturism. :vomit
Just a couple of points, Murray:
(a) Gillard is *not* just like Helen Clark. They might be ideological bedfellows (ewwwww!) but Clark was competent, whereas Gillard is a raving fucking idiot. Imagine how utterly rooted Australia would be by now if the Gillard gang matched their poisonous philosophy with competent delivery? Why, the ACT Party’s goal of “catching” Australia might just have become a reality!
(b) if the experience of the United States on the Day of Shame (November 6, 2012) taught us anything, it is that people are stupid. The Gillard gang will almost certainly be re-elected next year, and probably with an actual majority this time.
(c) this pathetic government of John Key is, in fact, doing *worse*. We have higher expectations of a “centre-right” government, and so far Key has behaved more like a Green Party PM than a National Party PM. He has ignored referenda, he has folded like a poofter’s hankie to a few smelly activists over mining the Conservation Estate and (perhaps worst of all) he has legitimised and empowered the Apartheid movement.
Australia is fucked because there are far too many people there who bathe in the waters of fifth column MSM bullshit, and because there are far too many with a vote who contribute nothing and far too few who try to stop them.
New Zealand is fucked because of a century-long love affair with socialism. And because there are far too many with a vote who contribute nothing and far too few who try to stop them. And because the “National Party” has turned its back on the principles on which it was founded, to wallow in the socialist sty.
The United States is fucked because people have decided to hate “millionaires and billionaires” and believe the Magic Negro can cast a spell to make them all rich (except the millionaires and billionaires of course. Not those bastards). And because the Republican Party has chosen to run Democrats for office every cycle since 1988 (with the exception of the 2010 mid-terms).
Basically, people are voting for free cake all across the western world. I agree with Bill Whittle; if people want to vote for socialism, let them feel its effects. Let it bite, and let it hurt.
Brown’s 50p envy tax cost £7 billion in lost tax revenue as the wealthy left Britain. roflmao The same is happening in France. Either they just don’t get it……..or they are just out to destroy the rich. :rant
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9707029/Two-thirds-of-millionaires-left-Britain-to-avoid-50p-tax-rate.html
Heh. Rich Frogs are fleeing to Britain to avoid the 75% top rate. Rich Poms are fleeing (to where?) to avoid the 50% top rate.
Where will all the rich Americans go?
Attention Rich People:
New Zealand has a top personal rate of 38%, and it’s easy to only pay the corporate rate of 28% by corporatising. It’s the Cuba of the South Pacific after a century-long love affair with socialism, but if you all join me here, we’ll turn the joint into Galt’s Gulch in no time!
Ahem………..top personal tax rate 33%, NO CGT either.
Can you imagine what a 100 or so wealthy entrepreneurs could do in NZ. We have enough ‘Asians’ to supply the skill and dedication as non-unioinised workers. :popcorn
Oops. Quite right, 33%. Sorry, I’ve only been back a couple of months and haven’t actually paid any income tax yet. :whoop
Of course, come 2014 when Labour is swept into power and Red Russel Norman becomes Finance Minister, look for the rate to immediately head towards French levels. Those bastard rich pricks! We’ll get ’em!
I’d like to see Gantt’s last comment up as a post…..
Of course they’re out to destroy the “rich”, Mawm. That’s a central tenet of socialism, to drag everybody down to the same level of misery.
You know it, we all know it. What’s difficult is getting our heads around that level of vicious stupidity.
Baroness Thatcher sure knew it!
