"Here is Gillard answering a reporter's question at the ASEAN summit on human rights in Vietnam:
I will be having some comprehensive discussions today with the leaders of Vietnam. I'll have the discussions and then we'll talk about matters raised in the discussions, but I anticipate we'll have a comprehensive engagement across all things in the relationship."
I never thought I'd yearn for the statesman like approach of Menzies (just remember), Whitlam (what a change), Hawke, Keating (the master) and Howard (back on the road). Where is this country headed ?? ( or more importantly, where have we arrived ?)
