A brilliant bit of sarcasm from Mungo MacCallum

http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/4603440.html

"It must be some small comfort to know that her enemies frequently adopt exactly the same approach. Is there anything sillier than to read in The Australian constant exhortations to Gillard to be more consultative, more ready to listen to abroad range of opinion, more - yes - tolerant of dissent? This, while every other page of the paper is devoted to Rupert Murdoch's Generalissimo Chris Mitchell's crusades against union bosses, the Greens, the ABC, the Fairfax press, public school teachers, intellectuals, chardonnay quaffers, latte sippers, political correctness, Julian Assange, Tim Flannery ...

But of course, that's all right. That's a free press just doing its job. Julia Gillard's in a quite different position. I mean, it's not as if Rupert Murdoch and Chris Mitchell are trying to run the country. Well, is it?"

Sadly true. In our darkest hour the ALP self-implodes leaving the country at the mercy of the forces of darkness. It may possibly be that an Abbott government will not be able to undo everything Gillard has done for the common good but I would rather not find out. There is no hope of this government winning another term according to many I speak to even in the face of the media. Is there a rabbit to be extracted from the bag?
