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

Thank you very much. This is another part of the opposition’s fear campaign. On this fear campaign we say to Australians: ‘Don’t fall for it. They are asking you to cower in the face of the future.’ They are asking Australians to believe that they are incapable of change. Australians are smart, competent people. They are up to this. They will get it done and they will leave the opposition stranded as history marches past them.
