Or to put it another way:

Have you noticed how many of your friends and family, coworkers and acquaintances are just determined to get rid of “that woman”, meaning Gillard – but if you ask them why, how little depth there is to their reasoning? Okay, you despise her, and blame her for wrecking the country, but why specifically?

Maybe you’ll hear –

Have you noticed that the first people to damn the poor and vulnerable for not taking “responsibility” for their lives are the very ones who blame every struggle in their life on the government?

Just a reminder to idiotic state governments who insist on tinkering with criminal justice by slashing legal aid and changing the law to send people to prison for longer without funding appropriate rehabilitative services: you are making things worse.
