    Oh dear, the usual garbage, vitriol, make believe, jealousy and let's face hatred from some of HC's conservative rabble.

    You'll recall Gillard ran a successful minority government - the only one federally in living memory.

    You can't dispute her success in executing her agenda, regardless of whether it accords with yours. That is of course if you accept that another human being may have a different view of the world than your microcosm.

    Your hero - Tony Abbott - wasn't able to form a minority government when he had the chance. He tried and failed.

    A major difference between the two as I recall and an important reason underpinning Gillard's success was her ability to negotiate. Despite Abbott pretending to be a professional politician, he couldn't negotiate, a skill I thought might be a prerequisite for that game.

    Gillard, the first woman PM in Australia, led a minority Labor government, the first in living memory.

    I doubt the aforementioned rabble even respect this one simple fact.
