It looks as though Julia has just found that out. Here is an excerpt from todays Courier Mail article.
"Questioned on 4BC about the impression she gave Australians that the centre would be in East Timor, Ms Gillard said that was not right.
``Once again with respect and obviously happy to be judged on what I say and what I said in the speech was not that. I did not say that.''
Ms Gillard said she had said there was no quick fix to the asylum seeker problem and there would need to be discussions across the region. Im not going to leave undisturbed the impression that I made an announcement about a specific location, Ms Gillard told 4BC.
Asked where the proposed centre would be, Ms Gillard said: Well, this will have to emerge from the work with our regional neighbours. END
Excuse me?????
She clearly said that it would be in East Timor!!!!
And get this. It appears that some pro labor posters on HC are also commenting on the Courier Mail blog.
"jeff of GTN Posted at 3:23 PM Today Another example of the media putting words into politicians mouths then saying they are backflipping, once agin the media overstepping the mark, there needs to be more media regulation, you guys are out of control!!!" END
So, jeff of GTN is who??????
Apparently, it wasn't Julia on TV making this announcement on East Timor.
