A feisty and fiery but totally irrelevant Gillard speech before Slipper resigns

Attack is the best form of defence was the Prime Ministerial motto today when confronted with the nauseating revelations about the man she made Speaker of the House of Representatives. And it was quite a stirring speech if the subject had been the views of Opposition Leader Tony Abbott. But the irrelevance of Julia Gillard's attempt to avoid the embarrassment of supporting a sleaze bag became clear when Peter Slipper resigned from the job.
Yet another example of this Labor Government's ability to manufacture unnecessary humiliations.

Sadly, my long term support for the liberal party, but most certainly not Mr Abbott, makes it difficult to support MS Gillard but with this issue I defend her speech. Putting partisan views aside a reasonable person with analytical skills would understand Gillard was supporting the principle of "due legal process" and not defending Slipper the person as suggested. It would be very dangerous to set a parliamentary 'kangaroo court' precedent that may in some future government enable some shocking injustice to a innocent politician simply for political expediency.
