Interesting title. Compare it with the ABC's version:

are you sure it wasn't fear of mah jerbs and temporarily embarrassed millionaires voting against their own interest. Gillard was voted out because Australia hates change and especially hates women. We have one of the highest rates DV among similar countries. We fuuuuucking hated her because she was a woman, it had nothing to do with the mining tax or carbon tax.

Pick negative gearing, wealth taxes, free uni whatever we fucking suck.

Also mining tax was separate from the carbon tax you Dill. I misread your comment because I assumed you were smarter than you were.

it had nothing to do with the mining tax or carbon tax.

Yes it did. The "carbon tax" was one of several key issues jumped on by the Coalition to push the idea that Gillard was untrustworthy and inauthentic, which was a big problem for her considering she was seen as having stolen power by orchestrating a coup against a prime minister. She has directly acknowledged this herself. Watch 'The Killing Season', it was a massive problem for Labor. The fact that there were other problems for Labor during that election does not mean this was not one of them.

Also mining tax was separate from the carbon tax you Dill.

Can you read? I never said they were the same thing. I said the electorate perceived it to be inauthentic behaviour.
