Gillard is a terrible role model for my daughters. Whenever they lie nowadays and get caught out they use her as an excuse!!!! They are not even 10 years old!! They showed me this clip by the way.
The equal rights for women movement must be very proud.

You are joking on this one, mate. Tell me which recent MALE Polly hasn’t “changed his mind” at some point.
ALL politicians are less than truthful. I don’t trust any of them, theirs or ours! Politics has become a sandpit in a playground in this country, sadly. A return to some decorum and mature behavior (Abbott and Rudd, take note) would be a major improvement.
When Hubris gets Ate, it goes straight to one’s thighs, Julia…..
Would you say that to a male? My guess is no. So you belong in the sandpit with the other children. Try to play nice, otherwise you will be sent to bed early.
Well, your guess is wrong. I most certainly would, particularly if the male was either Greek or reading Classical philosophy.
And thank you kindly for demonstrating the relationship between the philosophical concepts of ‘hubris’ and ‘ate’.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery from the pulled hamstring. Knee-jerks will do that to you.

He’s just told a “gillard”.
