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

This has now become truly embarrassing. Here we are. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition was out there with this huge conspiracy theory yesterday, with these big allegations against me. She was out there making false claims, then forgetting that she had made the false claims, then denying the false claims, and then not telling the truth about the nature and number of her conversations with Mr Blewitt. Then, today, so much of an embarrassment is she that she cannot go to the Leader of the Opposition's book launch.
