It clearly makes a nonsense of your apologetics, waffling about some
make up of government as meaning she doesn't /really/ lead the
government. If she holds the title of PM then she leads the government -
period!

Your projection carries no weight. Where is your evidence?

He made no promises either way actually. So he /could/ have gone ahead
with one (which he wouldn't have) without lying to the Australian
people. No such option for Gillied however. She chose to flagrantly
break her major election promise. And why, only now, do the leftard
warmists suddenly forget their (deliberately misquoted) usual wail of
"Abbott said climate change is crap"?

Yes, the reality of leftard bullshit. A lie is a lie is a lie... no

So she chose to betray the Australian people instead of being
honourable. No surprises there. And in hindsight, the Australian people
would have welcomed going back to the polls, rather than ending up with
the current mess of the Greens and 3 stooges running the place (down).
