Gillard: unfit to drive

She may talk a good talk, but is unable to drive the policy drive. Here is a person who should be a learner driver, instead insisting she should be on the grid in a Formula 1 race.

Ms Gillard now claims to have solved the super profits tax with a dodgy deal with just the three biggest miners. The fact is, the junior and midsized miners have not been included, and they are very concerned.

The fact is, exploration is not done by the majors, it is done by those smaller companies or individuals, who take massive risks and expect just reward for the risks. The big three don’t take those risks, they simply piggyback off the smaller miners and explorers, so are not as exposed.

In order to see whether a driver should be on the grid with highly talented and experienced drivers, it is essential to look at past performances.

No Formula 1 team will hire a driver based on spin, they will make that decision based on past performance.

That is what the Australian people need to consider on August 21, and past performance is something that Prime Minister Gillard is hoping desperately that the Australian electorate will not factor in.
