I suppose that's how your side of politics views things, its intelligent statement to judge someone one on there hair color, gender, race or religion, etc..
Statements like this belong in the dark ages, as a Father of 2 and pop of 5 granddaughters, I would like to think that they can succeed without being judged regardless of the gender and 2 of them having there lovely red (ranga) hair...
Good Luck to our new PM..

But thats the way things go these days ..... Popular Politics ..... based solely on the personality of those put forward by there party. It does come down to more what they look like, what they wear, how they speak, more so on what they stand for or their policies. No one knows what her intentions are (except that she stood behind Rudd with all decision made ..... either too weak to speak out or stood in agreement)

If its not about being the most popular you only need to look at Madden in Vic who has NO clue and Garrett who has absolutely no idea what he is doing and there are examples in every area federal and state.

Listen to 3AW and the amount of ..... "I will vote for her because she is a women" really does make me physically ill.

Liberals have not got policies on the table yet so hard to say they will do better but history proves as someone has said above .... the Libs are elected to clean up the mess. It has always been the case.

We survived the GFC because of a healthy bank account, healthy banks, healthy mining industry. The only people that benefited from the hand outs was The Good Guys with Plasma sales. Bank account is gone, banks are untouchable and the mining industry is the only thing left .... we will pay it back no matter who is in power.

Will be an interesting few months in politics but how the media swung from a "We hate Rudd" to We love Julia" is astounding.
