"Gillard did what all political leaders do, what Abbott did to Turnbull (winning by ONE vote!), what Rudd did to Beazley, what Keating did to Hawke (while Hawke was PM) etc...
They ALL do it! Knifing is part of the brutal game of politics and nice people finish last.
Yet none of these acts were treated in the same way....it's obvious that simply because she is a woman, it was seen as unforgiveable."
Though the knife was in the front so to speak that is what Rudd did back to Gillard. Now this is unforgivable, not because Rudd is a woman but because he did it to Gillard....no? She was allowed to do it according to her but he was not rofl.
And the reason he managed to do it back to her was because she was a terrible decision maker, the list is long and has been gone over many times, but feel free to believe it was mysoginy, and didn't she try and play that card one to many times.
The fact is she was more hopeless than Rudd and there is no question he stuffed things up in his first term.
