What do you think?<br /><br />Ross Parisi replied: Steve, I can well understand your dilemma. Sadly, it is widespread. Generally politicians like to be admired by all, so I am sure Julia wants to be liked as well. The issue of global warming is real. What is uncertain though is the percentage of manmade climate change and Australia’s overall impact. On a strict performance point of view on Q&A Julia Gillard performed well. I am unsure though because of her less than candid comment prior to the last election whether Aussies have stopped listening. If this is so then it is bad news not just for her but as a follow through bad for Australia. Abbott is capitalising because of his simple ‘blue collar’ message on the jobs dislocation and the ‘hip pocket’ of average Aussies. Aussie by their very nature are politically dispassionate and forgiving but unless matters are reversed and quickly base ball bats await Julia.<br />2 seconds agoRoss Parisinoreply@blogger.com
