Commenting on "PM adopts Howard 'trust me' line"

If a person is new to the game, trust is given as a matter of “benefit of doubt”. Subsequent trust is based on that person’s behaviour, action and performance. In short, trust is earned, and once that is broken, the damage is almost irreparable in most cases. There was an “original Gillard”, then the “real Gillard”. It looks like we are getting a re-jigged 1203 version Gillard. If whatever she says, she means the opposite, what she is telling us is “DON’T TRUST ME!”
Aussies are known to be knockers, and people in opposition party are not different. How much longer is Tony Abbott going to knock the Government / Julia Gillard? A week is a long time in politics, and when the time due for election arrives, voters are feeling just as sick to vote for the opposition for their less than impressive policies, only if they have any real policies.
The opposition cannot afford to sit on their backside to wait for the opportunity to come to push the Government over. Opportunities are created at times, and the time is now. Australia is not like some northern African countries, and it is unlikely to see riots in the streets to bring down the Government, yet!
When the “hidden” employed, educated Centrelink dependents, distressed former house owners, heads of broken families were to join forces, the repercussion can be disastrous. “Where the hell are you, Coalition strategists?”
