It is interesting and odd to hear our Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, call for an end to the “political point scoring”. All this in spite of her election campaign being the dirtiest that I have ever witnessed. It was a campaign all about scoring political points.
It is usually the case that those commenting about political point scoring are in fact themselves trying to score political points. For Gillard it is to score points with those that have allowed her to form government by the skin of her teeth.
By her statement she has drawn a line in the sand and she will have to lead by example. The proof will be in the pudding when it comes time for another election in 12 months, I mean 3 years time.
