Julia Gillard under fire in Question Time over Kevin Rudd knifing | thetelegraph.com.au


PRIME Minister Julia Gillard has faced a Question Time attack in Parliament over her decision to "assassinate" her predecessor Kevin Rudd one year ago this week. 

Ms Gillard seized the Labor leadership from Mr Rudd on June 24 last year, declaring she needed to take over because "a good government" had lost its way.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott today said the Government had gone "from bad to worse" under Ms Gillard's leadership.

"Has the political assassination of a prime minister been worth it?" he asked her during Question Time.

Ms Gillard dismissed the question as part of a "silly political games" and attacked Mr Abbott's economic credentials.

"I cannot believe that he is so reckless, so negative and so incompetent that he has failed to absorb any of the detail of the last Budget," the Prime Minister said.
