Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I am quoting Hugh Riminton from Channel Ten last night:

They—

that is the opposition—

are accusing the Prime Minister of acting illegally, when senior frontbenchers are conceding privately—

conceding very cheerfully—

… that they don't have any evidence to back up that very serious charge at all.

The cheerful concession is because they too know that the Deputy Leader of the Opposition's performance on this matter has been embarrassing. If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition were serious about this issue how come she did not give a press conference to deal with it?
