Comment on Israel to compete at Eurovision Song Contest in 2026, prompting several nations to withdraw
Tenderizer@aussie.zone 4 days agoJulia Gillard was neither left wing nor right wing, she was narcissist wing. I imagine all Labor leaders since her support Palestine’s right to self determination, at least privately, but Australian voters hate even the faintest whiff of culture wars.

lol what? That couldn’t be further from the truth. The biggest defining feature of her prime ministership was her she contrasted with the actual narcissist that was Kevin Rudd. Rudd initially got kicked out because his coworkers hated working with him. And his rather extreme failure to be open to negotiating (yunno, the *main part of politicians’ job!) and the subsequent failure to pass his lacklustre excuse for climate law ended up providing the requisite excuse to roll him. Then Gillard comes along, does an amazing job of negotiating with the crossbench, and passes world-leading legislation on climate, along with passing more legislation overall than any other PM had to that point in living memory.
Her ties to America and its interests are a legitimate angle of criticism of her. But her personality certainly is not.
