Gillard does Alinsky

‘TONY Abbott has warned Julia Gillard against racing to appoint Australia’s next Governor-General before the election and is threatening to overturn key Labor appointments if the Coalition wins power.
In a dramatic escalation of pre-poll tensions, the Opposition leader plans to directly raise his concerns over Australia’s head of state with Ms Gillard, amid fears Labor wants to lock-in a raft of “jobs for the boys”- style appointments.
An investigation by News Limited can reveal an unprecedented number of one-time Labor MPs and union officials have been appointed to key Commonwealth agencies and statutory bodies, often on lucrative salaries..’
The lucrative salaries are a comparatively trivial point–what matters is that key positions will be held by Labor apparatchiks who will be in a position to undermine and frustrate a conservative government. Tony Abbott will need to develop or discover a ruthless streak, and damn the leftist media’s squeals of outrage.
