An emotional Julia Gillard was brought to tears during a speech to parliament describing the bravery and trials faced by the Queensland flood victims.

Sections of the media have suggested that Ms Gillards performance was not entirely sincere.

What do you think?

Was the Prime Minister truly emotional or was she putting on a contrived performance?

Home and Away will be casting soon, with a performance like that she's wasted as a PM!

Abbott says it was genuine. I'm sure nobody would argue with that here.

Maybe our Tony wants to be seen as warm and fuzzy now?!

After time spent with people who have lost everything and loved ones with stripped raw emotions I don't see how that can't affect a person. I think she was damned if she did and damned if she didn't tear up.

I just can't see her as genuine at all. Anna B ligh lost it while in flood areas and she is one tough cookie, but JG showed not one jot of emotion at all.

I have a family member who can cry on cue when the need arises, and is very convincing indeed.

I have no idea whether the tears were real or not. It will be action not tears that will impress me.

What annoyed me was that after she got emotive about the flag was that she dumped on her desk like a used rag, certainly not the example students should see on flag protocol

About as genuine as a three-dollar note!

absolutely FAKE...just as she is! She is a fullblooded liar and I would be happy to see her fall of the side of the world. She can take the carbon Lie with her...or at the very least she can stop being a Builderburger puppet and try being honest! Fall off real soon red nungy.

How can anyone believe that she were sincere considering on the treacherous way she obtained power...not to mention the lies about the carbon tax
