Julia's tumble

Could there be omens in pseudo Prime Minister Julia Gillard's tumble today?  Something about pride coming before a fall or, more importantly, what might await when she next puts a foot wrong.

Today's trip was a bum-bruising fall in Melbourne's  Treasury Gardens.  The next might be much bigger and even more public as she seems intent on taking on the building unions in a way Labor voters might not have been expecting when they went to the polls a few weeks back.

And I wonder what the cartoonists will make of it in tomorrow's papers, although sadly  many of the country's best seem to be away on hols.

She really is a Clayton's PM, the PM you have when you're not having a PM...

And where to now?

It seems we also have a Clayton's treasurer, judging by Swanny's reaction to the "stuff you" action of the NAB over interest rates.
