PM Julia Gillard’s decision to stay in Sydney’s west is certainly envisaged as a political decision aimed at preparing the residents for upcoming polls. The allegation was proven by her recent visit to a jobs expo where she was mobbed by her admirers, portraying the highlights of an election campaign.

Despite Gillard’s deceiving attempts to gain votes and sympathy from the electorates, recent opinion polls for Labor in the region have been weakening. Electorates are stepping away from the Labors as they lose trust in Gillard’s leadership style. The visit to expo must have revealed Gillard from all the fuss and opinion poll results.

PM Gillard claims that Sydney’s west would not be neglected by her government, which was responding to residents’ concerns. She was residing there just to keep a close watch at how her party is solving the problems faced by the general public. Gillard also announced a series of initiatives to benefit the region and address local concerns about traffic congestion, gang crime and jobs.

“We’re not here to talk about opinion polls; we’re here to talk about issues that matter for the people. People will make their own decisions in September about how they want to vote. This government has a very clear plan for the future. We’ve charted the course and we want to pursue it … on the other side of politics we just see negativity. Come September people will make their choice,” said Gillard.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott visited the Mulgoa preschool in Sydney’s far west on Thursday. Abbott claimed that he didn’t need to make a big deal about his visits since he was fully aware of the area and problems associated with it.

“The people of western Sydney want a plan, they just don’t want a visit. This is not foreign country as far as I’m concerned. They want a constructive engagement that doesn’t just start on Sunday and end on Thursday,” Abbot maintained.
