The British backpacker is currently holidaying in Port Macquarie with her sister Sian.
Despite their relaxed surroundings the sisters are still keenly aware of the political unrest back home.
And they are pretty unimpressed.
"The government needs to stop arguing between themselves and make a decision that benefits the country," Ms Gilbert said frustrated.
The sisters both voted in favour of leaving the European Union.
They are confident England can survive on its own.
"I think we can go by ourselves," 23-year-old Sian Gilbert said defiantly.
Australia is doing well by itself and I think we can do exactly the same.

The negotiations around the United Kingdom leaving the European Union (Brexit) have been protracted to say the least.
British Prime Minister Theresa May is frantically trying to reach an agreement with the opposition after her divorce plan was voted down three times in the parliament.
Brexit was supposed to happen on 29 March, but the EU has allowed an extension to Friday 12 April.
Eighteen-year-old German backpacker Paul Steinmetz has also been following the Brexit negotiations.
The politics student is concerned about the long-term ramifications of Britain leaving for other European countries.
"It will be have a terrible impact on the European economy," Mr Steinmetz said.
"Britain is a huge economic player.

"A lot of Italians go to the UK to find jobs.
"We won't be able to go there without a visa or passport."
Lesley Webb seems to sum up most tourists thoughts on Brexit.
"The whole thing is rediculous, it is a bit of a mess."
Ms Webb who voted for Britain to remain in the EU said there was a lot of misinformation in the referendum campaign.
"It was a racist vote, people were told we would be able to control our borders but we need the immigrant workforce."
And it is not just tourists who are concerned about the implications of Britain leaving the European Union.
Port Macquarie resident Keith Robbins came to Australia 45-years-ago.
"All this uncertainty has affected my pension.
"The pound has fallen dramatically which means I get less money."
His friend Keith Sandie moved to Australia in 1970 from Scotland.
He said Brexit had been a "waste of time."
"Scotland has a lot of industries such as whisky and shortbreak that it exports to other European countries which will be affected."
Mr Sandie predicts Scotland will have another referendum to break away from the United Kingdom.
British Prime Minister Theresa May will hold talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron this week seeking a delay to Brexit until June 30.
The British Parliament passed a bill brought by Labour MP Yvette Cooper on Monday (April 8) which aims to force the Prime Minister to request a Brexit extension - rather than leave the EU without a deal on Friday,
