In my opinion the most important issue here is that the Gillard government is essentially the same as the Rudd government. I can see no reason to believe the outcome of electing the Gillard government will be any different to electing the Rudd government. I can also see that the timing for the change in leadership is unlikely to be an accident. I believe the timing is a shameless effort to take advantage of the Australian ethos of providing a fair go before judgement.

Australians voters should remember Gillard has historically provided no substantial public opposition for the catastrophic policy decisions of Rudd. They should also study the performance of Gillard on issues such as environment, family, women, education, insulation, children and many others before they assume that as the first female prime minister these issues will be somehow better represented
