There were more than one protest against Gillard.
Rudd wasn't viewed as incompetent by the public. If people thought he was incompetent they could have gone out and protested him too.
The Hawke Government? That was almost 30 years ago. Apologies for not having a recent photo of anyone protesting Hawke.
Anyway, the backers of the right (in terms of business) are a lot more sly. They just put money in the right places to get things turned in their favour- such as the media or straight to the political parties. Have you ever turned on Sky News at night? Have you ever listened to 2GB? That is completely anti-Labor and often very crass. That is a type of protest. It's just not on the streets, it's on the airways instead.
God help us if we are that triggered by a couple of people waving signs. This upcoming depression is going to be very hard on some folks. Things could get ugly.
None of this tit-for-tat will help you to understand issues though. It's all just window dressing.
I'd like to show me all the examples of Lib supporters tossing eggs at a PM, invading. farms ,blocking roads, waving placards stating a PM is a f'wit, should be strung up by the balls, comparing him to Hitler, invading meetings .
"Rudd wasn't viewed as incompetent by the public" LOL.You mean the Labor public.
What has" time line " got to do with it. 30 years ago ,50 years ago(Whitlam),Lib supporters do their complaining via the ballot box ,not by interrupting the daily lives of people going to work ,nor getting kids to wave cringeworthy placards .
Maybe you should ask the Labor party ,why they get large sums of money in Aldi bags at restaurants in Sydney's Chinatown.Nor large sums from unions9and I have bene a member of two unions Bank Officers and Shipping .
A couple of people waving signs LOl ,you are not good at maths, blocking streets.
Yep When I had Pay TV Sky News ,CNN,BBC,NBC the ABC which I watch regularly.Funny how they each have their political bias.2GB haven't listened for year,Hadley a turn off.
The Project does a good job for Labor on ch10, as does the Herald with Bandana Head leading the charge.But of course it all goes over your head,I see nothing.
