Small Breasts, Huge Thighs ...
Actually - this is not at all true of Gillard. As someone who used to live in Canberra and quite often sit in the House of Representatives public gallery (with that downward view into the chamber) I can attest that Julia Gillard does not have small breasts, at all.
Shock jocks are generally just shit people and Saddler, that cunt Alan Jones (who's gay himself), Kyle Sanderlands, etc. should all be exiled to Kangaroo Island permanently and not given access into media. Or just shoot them. I agree they (and others) have treated Gillard with less respect because of her gender.
Julia Gillard is a smart woman, and overall a decent person. Trouble is her political party is awful. This is from someone who comes from Port Adelaide and has voted ALP (at least preferenced them) for all my previous votes, state and fed. However, in recent times, as almost everyobdy else in Australia man or women understands, her party has turned into a totally self-serving entity whose agenda is primarily based upon its own internal factional powerplays, and will do what ever it takes in terms of pandering to precisely identified demographics (certain voter types in what were once marginal seats) to stay in power. And it isn't even the up front politicians it is concerned about keeping in place, it's behind the scenes powerbrokers who are pretty much unelected operatives with powerbases in the unions, etc. And perhaps those outside of Australia can google a name such as Graham Richardson to see where this all originated from with the NSW right dominating the ethos and agenda of what was/is in theory a centre-left party ... then google a name such as Eddie Obeid to see where it all ended up. These types (what Australian's know as the Faceless Men) put Gillard in power at the expense of Rudd, who is a dick, but is a Queenslander. So Gillard alienated Queenland for a start, NSW has had enough of Eddie Obeid types and their (literal) corruption and in NSW Federal ALP under Gillard is guilty by association. Without NSW and Qld Gillard is fucked (figuratively). So be it. Fuck the ALP IMO (figuratively). Even if it rebuilds under Shorten it may be much the same, but the more from it who are sent packing in September, maybe the better, because they need to really start again from scratch. The ALP also sucks because local members in reality have little say in the preselection of the candidates the ALP coughs up, these are all pre-chosen by behind the scenes factional power brokers. The party has pretty much lost the plot. That's not just my opinion that's the general consensus nationwide.
Gillard has been from the start in bed with these entrenched powerbrokers, and has played the same cynical manipulative game of
often doing what is generated by focus groups to be electorally advantageous in certain seats that are needed for power (western Sydney), rather than what is ethically right or at least best for the population as a whole.
And to add insult to injury she/they are most likely going to cause us to have Tony Abbott as PM for at least 3 and a half years.
