Synopsis | Game On (2010)
Well she's set the date - now to see if Australia will come to the party. Julia Gillard, Australia's first female Prime Minister, is vying to become our first popularly-elected female Prime Minister. Unless she can do that, her achievement will always be tainted by the route she took to get the top job. Charles Wooley sat down with Prime Minister Gillard soon after she called the election for a chat about budgie smugglers, her old boss and the bloke who cooks her lamb roasts.

Julia Gillard as previous PM (Labor leader ) is much stronger and better than Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong😊

[@johngunning2123]

No doubt about that. She was/is far more intelligent than the current Labour leaders. Penny Wong is a disgrace.

[@arisl2370]

totally agree !!

[@brantleyfoster021]

Gillard won in 2010, but she didn't run for the PM's role in 2013 as she resigned to let Rudd lead, because she was too hurt by the attacks directed at her deceased father by the opposition while she was burying him. Hopefully she can recover & her family.

Tickle vs giggle You’re a piece of work Julia

[@beautyriva]

Yes, I remember: “there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead”,

Big talker for nothing

[@cantstopflying4137]

Gimmie a break..

[@poidaaussie5239]

She was simply the worst of Australian Prime Ministers, that was until Anthony Albanese.

[@davidsmithson865]

The most forgettable Prime Minister Australia ever had. She can talk the talk, but I suspect the walk.

[@user-rm9hw8wv2q]

no the one now Albo is the most forgettable Gillard was not too bad but she did get caught lying there will never be a carbon tax as long as im priminster that lye

[@brantleyfoster021]

​​@@user-rm9hw8wv2q Well it wasn't a carbon tax, it was a price on carbon. You cannot buy/sell a tax. The notion of it being a tax was Abbott's spin.

[@brantleyfoster021]

Her famous speech went past 6 million views, just one version of it. Another version on KZbin is at 4 million. Even her speech on the end of the world was at 3 million views. She is the most viewed Australian politician based on merit's to her character. Abbott went viral too, but on channel's making fun of what he put on record. So not based on merit's to his character. Plus Gillard was in for much longer than Abbott was. Abbott couldn't even make it to half a term before in a coalition first, his own knifed him.

[@martinkrajnc9956]

She can't see the bigger picture. Complying to the states warmongers aren't help any Australian.
