  1. Loved it that Raf Epstein on Insiders today, closed by quoting Julia Gillard on the 3 types of Labor Conference: the x the y & the nothing happens deadly boring. (Sorry — cannot recall or find his actual quote or her words; think Raf said they were from her book). Exquisate irony. 🤗

  3. (continued)

    Even during the dying days of the 2009 Turnbull era, #Coalition #ClimatePolicy extended as far as tepid support for the deeply flawed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme introduced by #KevinRudd and his #ALP government.

    Rudd's #CPRS had a 2050 emissions target of a measly 60% reduction from 2005 levels, had no mechanism for increasing ambition, grandfathered in a generous gift of pollution certificates to the worst polluters, and did nothing about Australia's massive and rapidly growing #DirtyEnergy exports (Australia's worst climate crime, dwarfing domestic emissions—a grand atrocity yet to be addressed in earnest by either side of the duopoly).

    But the CPRS was nonetheless a climate policy with mechanisms that might have actually reduced Australia's domestic emissions over time, something the Coalition have never embraced in the almost-sixteen years since then.

    Dropping the #NetZero2050 fig leaf is on brand.

    (NB Once Abbott rolled Turnbull, PM Rudd could have easily passed his signature legislation if he had been at all willing to negotiate with the Greens under #BobBrown, who would have voted for the CPRS as literally better-than-nothing, with just one or two small tweaks—tweaks later conceded by #JuliaGillard in minority government. But Rudd wouldn't even talk to Brown.)

    The corruption and viciousness in #Australia's government continues to seep out.

    What poison to community and health successive #Labor and #LNP governments and the #AustralianPublicService have been.

    When did the #TargetedComplianceFramework kick in?
    #JohnHoward?
    #KevinRudd?
    #JuliaGillard?
    #TobyAbbott?
    #MalcomTurnbul?
    #ScottMorrison?

    Who has let it continue?

  13. CAMPAIGN LAUNCH 4 Julie Collins MP
    Very happy to take a pic with a starstruck young fan of mine 'Penelope' Wong who has requested joining the 'TasLabor Blues Brothers Ensemble' on percussion🪘
    I warned, the lead guitarist #juliagillard is an appalling show off. 🤣🤣🤣

  14. Discussing Australian PM's on our walk today...and we agreed that the best PM of the last 20 years was #JuliaGillard. Like so many women leaders though, she was subject to relentless and virulent misogyny.
    Notwithstanding, she left a legacy and demonstrated in many ways clear leadership. Her bizarre stand on marriage equality (later evovling once out of politics) was the glaring omission. The other PM's (all men) have either been dreadful, delusional or profoundly disappointing. #NZPol

  16. Julia Gillard play starring Justine Clarke debuts in Canberra: ‘It’s an incredible speech to perform’ | The Guardian

    Julia Gillard’s history-making #misogyny speech has been transformed into a new play by award-winning playwright Joanna Murray-Smith, which imagines the lead-up to the iconic parliamentary moment, 10 years after it happened.

    Julia, a co-production by the Sydney Theatre Company and Canberra Theatre Centre, premieres on Tuesday night in #canberra starring award-winning actor and Play School star Justine Clarke as the titular character.

  18. 8/ Despite my disgust for her politics, I stand with #AnnaPaulinaLuna against the #misogyny waged against her for daring to beat her male opponent for a seat in #Congress. There is no excuse for calling a woman a #witch (unless that is her self-empowering self-identification), as #Australian Prime Minister #JuliaGillard schooled opposition leader #TonyAbbott in her world-viral misogyny speech in 2012.

  20. Ten years ago today - January 8, 2013 – Australian Prime Minister Julia Guillard connects bush fires and climate change.

    This was a landmark moment. Extreme weather climate attribution was still in its infancy, but even then the science was clear that climate change was causing more extreme fire weather and bushfires of greater frequency and intensity

  22. So the private company that governs over #Australia's "Broadband" Network (read: wireless network), cannot develop a website that works. The site (nbnco.com.au) can't redirect properly.

    Thanks govt, for privatising the project after the #coup against our PM.
