gillards first backflip on assylum seekes, page-3

Whooaaa...she claims she made no mention of a specific location...what the????


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.
