What is Wrong With Julia?
What is wrong with Julia?
Actually nothing.
I see in front of me - nightly - a woman who is articulate, who can talk on every subject (even though she sometimes in the past claimed a lack of expertise), a person who does not need notes to make sometimes long and involved points like so many other leaders in the modern world. A person who is quick-witted and sharp-brained.
No matter what everyone says, she inspires me. Despite her stand against gay marriage (not every leader is going to get it right on everything - so, get used to it. At least she has opened the possibilities for that particular right. Which is more than one can say of many certain others.
She even dresses well. She always looks good and clever and fresh-faced to me. Although it wouldn't really matter to me if she dressed in rags and looked like a haggard Orc-witch.
I think she looks swell for the job, unlike Germaine Greer, who has suddenly become a fashionista, and thinks Julia should do away with certain items of clothing, and that it is okay for our sexual moral code to be guided by the Koran. A person who we know would burn the sexual moral code of the Judeo-Christian Bible (see Q and A: 19 March 2012). So, I definitely do not think that is a reference point.
On policy, against the odds, and in partnership with others, Julia has delivered. Delivered, delivered, delivered. Carbon tax, carbon tax rebates for the less well off, mining tax, disability support, education, workers' rights and employment security, incentives for business, updated and near universal Internet coverage, dental care. And she is still delivering.
No, there is nothing wrong with Julia. It is voters. An electorate that is head in the sand stubborn, mingy of pocket, and that stands on such high and mighty principles that it cannot see the cargo ships for the Great Barrier Reef. No wonder Abbott and the LNP appeal (see, for example, the latest Queensland election).
There is something rotten in the State of Oz. It is the electorate, the electorate, the electorate.
As If!

Yes, despite all of that, the spectre of Abbott looms large. And Campbell Newman begins his jolly campaign against his own workers first. Baffling all round that this is what so many have put their hand up for.
