gillard looking more prime ministerial, page-33

Gillard as PM of a minority government has achieved an incredible amount of legislation.

I doubt anyone would have thought it possible 2 years ago.

I admit that having a useless opposition with no alternative view point makes it easier.

You always hope that an opposition can place a contrary view to galvanise the public and even make government have second thoughts.

Sadly the coalition seems devoid of any constructive ideas.

I suspect the Libs are done and dusted unless they find someone with some fresh ideas.

We really need some opposition to Labor to make it productive. At the moment it just isn't there.
