What a great shame to be well-known for this incident, especially for a beautiful lady as prime minister. How to forget it is her next issue.

She's amazing yosun, but this is nothing really. And she has this famous line, "I'm made of tough stuff" which is very true.

Yosun,I don't know how you can refer to her as a beautiful lady, when she lies, betrays people she has done deals with, head of a political party that has plunged Australia massively into debt. A member of her team is under Australian Federal Police investigation for prostitution rackets and mismanagement of union cards allegedly, she has lied to the Australian public more than once. She made a deal on poker machine reforms with Mr Wilkie to gain office and has now revoked that promise. It is now one of her Union Leaders who allegedly (until proven by AFP) advised the Aboriginal Tent Embassy to go across and liven things up - putting Mr Abbott and their own Leader into harms way. She has come out tonight saying she doesn't know who this woman is, but our news service, Sky Australia has broadcast a imagine of Ms Gillard and her dining together recently. We are not happy campers in Australia! And Eoin - she talks lines that all the time - but they mean nothing - as she changes what she says every other day that none believes her anymore. Most Australian's are counting down till the next election.

Actually I feel Australia's been performing pretty good economically lately compared to Euro countries and the US, however even I don't know what's been already done, it seems Australia should do more for domestic aboriginal people like most of other countries did, for example, lower rate for bank loan, lower university entry requirements, free health insurance... etc.

The only reason Australia is doing well compared to other nations is the HUGE - multi billion dollar bank account left to them by the former Liberal party. However, they have managed to swindle that away and now we are like other nations - heavily - say Billions in debt. They keep borrowing money to impress the UN and to give to other countries in order to maintain our smoke and mirrors economy. It is well known in Australia that we have a 3 tiered economy. The reason we have not gone down the drain financially is because the mining sector is keeping us all afloat. But when she introduces her mining tax, and tax on the air we breathe - we will be in trouble like Europe. Just common sense really. I do agree, with lower bank rates, free health insurance for Aboriginals but I do believe they already have better access to tertiary education - as every form you fill out asks if "you are an Aboriginal or torres strait islander". Many Aborigines do get FREE housing - so even better than low home loans. Much has been tried with the aboriginal people but no 'one shoe fits all' mentality will fix the problem. For the record, I have met many Aboriginal people and been invited onto their land - and they are some of the nicest people you will meet - very kind, sharing and generous. Something our politicians could learn from!

She looks like your typical leftist utopian dingbat.

Aborigines were there first. Maybe the government of Australia should look at reparations payments to the indigineous peoples.
