Julia Gillard is a Jackie of many trades and Ms of none. She was in many portfolios, but for a short time in each, before being elevated to the highest post. She told lies after lies and broke election promises after promises, in order to get to where she is today. I do wonder whether she is either suffering from dementia or a proverbial liar.

She really lacks the brain juice to understand that pushing out reform policies is easy, but getting those implemented takes more than the stroke of a pen or pressuring her team, the Greens and the Independents to kowtow.

Is Julia Gillard conversant with the so-called reform policies or did the ideas just popped up during a night-out with the not-so-up-to-the-job Labor colleagues? She holds the false premise that "Two wrongs make a right". Government policies affect lives and livelihood of the Australian public and the political, financial and social stability of this nation. It is wrong to be gungho to get the related Bills passed in the Parliament. It is myopic to focus on implementing reforms which are bad in the eyes of majority Australian citizens.
