Class war continues

Gillard ramps up the class war targeting the 30% of the population who still think she’s relevant.

LOUDMOUTH mining magnates shouldn’t dominate public debate more than a nurse or a childcare worker, said Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

Nurses whose care and nursing is an inetegral and important part of our society are to be held in high esteem but they don’t employ tens of thousands of other Australians nor do they tip billions into the nation’s economy. For that reason the mining magnates do have a bigger part in the public debate and as much as Gillard and Swan hate the fact, generally, Australians listen to the likes of Reinhart and Palmer knowing and appreciating that they didn’t get where they are by being stupid and that they know how economies work. Unlike Gillard and her bank teller mate.
