Never a truer word spoken about Julia Gillard, a socialist wolf in sheep’s clothing:

When asked by ABC News Online whether she thought female voters would be in favour of a Gillard ascension to the top job, Ms (Bronwyn) Bishop replied: “I would see her being from the left wing of the Labor Party, truly a socialist who has taken to wearing pearls.”…

“I think Julia Gillard gets a lovely easy ride,” she said.

“Have you ever seen a tough interview with Julia Gillard? She’s been allowed to have a ‘can-do’ type of reputation without it really being challenged.”

Ms Bishop cites this week’s allegations of cost blowouts in the Building the Education Revolution (BER) program as evidence.

“If you started to interrogate her on the BER – this is a disaster, absolute disaster.”

I really fail to see the appeal of Julia Gillard to Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt, and other conservative commentators.  The BER programme is evidence of her ‘government knows best’ approach to taxpayers money. A $16 billion programme which is earning her union collegues and hence the ALP a nice little kick back:

UNIONS have exploited a loophole to have almost all schools stimulus upgrades in Victoria declared “major projects” in order to pocket site allowances estimated to total at least $80 million.

It seems the whole education building programme was set up from the very beginning with providing funding for the ALP’s re-election, via the CFMEU. I’ve blogged on a similar scam back in early 2009.

Taxpayer money – stimulus spending – construction project – shoddy legislated union fees paid from the project budget - ALP election funding
