Julia Gillard is unpopular because she is a woman. Nobody could seriously believe that????

Why Gillard is unpopular

List is not extensive
*claimed there was more chance of her playing full forward for the western bulldogs then taking labor leadership. Within a week was leader of the ALP
*claimed there would be not carbon tax, then introduced a carbon tax
*claimed a major pillar of her government was to 'spread the benefits of the mining boom' through the MRRT. MRRT raises only $126m
*claimed business would receive a 1.5% tax cut as a result of revenue from the MRRT. Tax cut abolished.
*claimed repeatedly that there would be no changes to private insurance rebate - introduced changes to private insurance rebate
*Supported Craig Thompson and introduced Peter Slipper to speakers chair - power over principle
*Abandoned written agreement with Andrew Wilkie re : gambling reform when she no longer needed him
*Complete failure with regard to border control
*Promised a budget surplus hundreds of times - failed
*AWU scandal
*NBN - Bungled, overbudget, overtime
*Live Cattle Exports - Overreaction led to crippling of industry
*Politics of division..hates the media, miners, anybody who lives on the north shore or who owns a blue tie
*Hypocrisy - Backing David Feeney for preselection over female candidate, Supporting Peter Slipper and Craig Thompson. Labor & Union reps making jokes about Sophie Mirabella, Julie Bishop & Tony Abbott's female chief of staff >> no action taken

Needless to mention we find ourselves in a budget emergency during the most enormous boom in a generation.

But Im sure the only reason she is disliked is because she is a woman.. very difficult position to understand
