If they stuff this up, no way.
But, I think you are right. Rock bottom was yesterday. Still lots of ground to make up.
With a recession being announced in October - it's not going to be easy for them.
She did seem a little more together, but still so damn condescending with the way she speaks to the peeps.
She is horrid.
Maybe not.
"Business confidence slid in June, as the gap between the strongest and weakest industries neared record levels."

Unfortunately, this is not a surprise.
The resources sector is the Labs tall poppy, and must be brought back to the same level as the other industries - which appear to be seriously struggling under this bad government.
Off the topic but was anyone who watched Q&A just fixated on Julia's forehead? She is a poster girl for bad botox.
For Julia's sake I hope the CO2 tax does not affect the price of botox.
Question for Julia: "Can you confirm the allegation that the price of carbon may rise?"
WTF?
But it has taken boat people, refugees, and Indonesia cattle crisis out of peoples minds, (for a while)
may be the recession will stop the MASSIVE homes being built by first home buyers that carnt afford to pay for them.
Another day... another story...
Consumer confidence plummets in July:

Westpac's chief economist Bill Evans says the result is the lowest since May 2009, and similar to levels seen during aggressive interest rate hikes after the financial crisis and after the introduction of the GST.
"It appears that a combination of concerns over the European financial crisis; the ongoing impact of the seven interest rate hikes between October 2009 and November 2010; and uncertainty about the introduction of a price on carbon; are now really undermining the confidence of consumers," he noted in the report.

People are criticising Julia for acting like Joe public is dumb.
Maybe she has taken to heart the old motto "no-one ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the average person"
Jullia is the smartest person in my opinion on "Kath and Kim"
But that is just my opinion.
Rewind the tape all of you 
If I remember correctly Julia didn't ask for this PM position.
She was forced into this position by the same forces that want to rid off her today.
If we had mining tax today we don't have to worry about carbon tax anymore.
I hate retards that make decision and blames others for consequences - you voters.
This is what your were told and believe:
In fact put yourself in this picture. And that is a real deal.
5 miners in this country operating 20 mln puppets on one string 
Here this will make you squirm. Go Queensland!
Historically and chronologically the sequence of events presents like that:
- You -voters , wanted sudden wealth redistribution, after years and prosperity under national ,so you did revokes labor monster
- As Kevin started doing just that and in smart move did try to tame that river of gold flowing overseas
( correct me if I am wrong but 87% of everything worth anything here is in the hands over there !!)
- So voters - just in time to stop mining tax (I wish you believe that you still have something to say when it comes to real money) smoked out poor Kevin out of his own country
Now tell me the truth.
Was it worth it to repeal mining tax that pay a few with carbon that we pay all? 
Anybody !? recognize yourself on this picture ??
AS I TOLD YOU. WE NEED THIS T-SHIRTS AND POSTERS BACK TO THE OFFICE.
WE JUST NEED TO REPAINT ONE WORD AND YOU CAN BACK TO WORK.
THIS TIME WE PAY DOUBLE FOR YOUR TIME.
( I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY WE SHOULD BE SO GENEROUS TO THIS SCHOOL KIDS THINKING THEY DOUBLE FOR HOLLYWOOD APOCALYPSE MOVIE 
)
