Gillard is a stupid ranga who was responsible for Medicare Gold - it was an embarrassment to our nation.
Right up there with the "Rock solid, iron-clad guarantee" on the Medicare safety Net by Abbott? Or do you just gloss over the lies now, given Howard's new mantra of core and non-core promises? I would have thought that "Rock solid" and "Iron-clad" would have indicated a core promise, but in this confusing Howard era of honest dishonesty, nothing would surprise me.
Medicare Gold was far from the worst policy blunder in either Lib or Labor terms, but I think it's actually more about an excuse to dislike Gillard because she's not like your beloved Vanstone, Coonan or Bishop. Mandy's actually a half-decent human being, who has been hemmed into policies that she doesn't agree with to save Ruddock's chicken neck. Convincing actress is the big battleship.
