andrew bolt on gillard- a must read...

Andrew Bolt nails it again..

No wonder he has left the biased ABC Insiders program in the ratings dust already...


"More importantly, what she?s selling at home is poison and voters have stopped listening, anyway.

They?ve literally switched off. When the ABC?s political chat show Insiders had a once-prized interview with Gillard on Sunday, it scored its second lowest ratings for the year.

The tale of her amazing fall is now well known. Breaking her promise not to introduce a carbon dioxide tax - ?there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead? - was of itself probably fatal."

ONLY one thing saves Julia Gillard from being knifed as she knifed Kevin Rudd. It?s that poor Labor doesn?t have an obvious alternative.

And, perhaps worse, its harder heads are going soft.

The powerbrokers, in despair at Gillard?s performance, don?t realise it still wasn?t a mistake to make her Prime Minister then - and won?t be a mistake to replace her now.

The fact is it?s now too obvious to ignore what I first noted here two months ago: that Gillard is finished.

The polls this week tell the story. Newspoll has Labor at just 46 per cent of the preferred vote, to the Coalition?s 54. Nielsen calls it 44-56.

And there is little to hope for. Gillard?s credibility is shattered, authority destroyed and judgment appalling.

She?s so shrunk in the job, that she took a football to her first White House meeting with the US President.

More importantly, what she?s selling at home is poison and voters have stopped listening, anyway.

They?ve literally switched off. When the ABC?s political chat show Insiders had a once-prized interview with Gillard on Sunday, it scored its second lowest ratings for the year.

The tale of her amazing fall is now well known. Breaking her promise not to introduce a carbon dioxide tax - ?there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead? - was of itself probably fatal.

But what?s made her Government an object of ridicule has been her catastrophic judgment.

Has any prime minister made so many promises in a single year that have become standing jokes?

Think of her cash-for-clunkers policy to buy old cars and crush them - a promise so stupid it was itself crushed before it started.

Her promise to build a detention centre in East Timor, without asking if the locals approved, was also too brainless to fly.

Likewise the Citizens Assembly she was going to drag off the street to advise her on global warming.

Now there?s her five-for-one swap of boat people with Malaysia, announced even before any deal was signed.

What drives smarter Labor MPs mad is that Gillard seems unable to learn even from the Government?s most devastating mistakes.
