Failing Gilalrd government

Comments on Mirko Bagaric “Flood of bad decisions from Gillard”, 31/01/2011, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/flood-of-bad-decisions-from-gillard/story-fn59niix-1225997082458

Gillard and her government have been playing a divisive game with the Australian public:

• use politics for a flood levy to generate a division between the flood areas and the rest; and
• to tax higher income earners to create a division between them and others.

Further, as you pointed out, their wasteful spending in so many programs in such a short time also has an effect of division: those who might have benefited from those wasteful programs and the rest of taxpayers.

 

This is a poor government under poor leadership with poor management skills.

 

The independents really need to think hard and tackle the wastes by this incompetent government for the good of the nation.

PS: given the poor performance and rating at the election and ever since, ALP should consider whether Gillard is really better than Rudd in the first place for whatever shortcomings the latter has or might have.

Rudd at least could generate high ratings for a considerable period. Gillard does not appear to be able to do so.
Rudd had some appeal to the public and Gillard does not appear to be able to show she can too.
