what ru julie?

This is what she thought of the Liberal Government when she was arguing against the introduction of the GST on June 21 200.

Being the spin master she probably thought that it actually wasn't such a bad idea - :)


"Ms GILLARD
Returning to the Orwellian theme, we can see that in
Nineteen Eighty-Four the government knew that they
had complete control over a citizen when they could
make that citizen see what they wanted him to see
or hear what they wanted him to hear. You would
recall that, in Nineteen Eighty-Four, the principal
character, Winston, is tortured until he says that he
sees five fingers when four are displayed. I think
there is a disturbing similarity with the conduct of this
government: they want Australians to disbelieve the
information provided to them by their very own eyes
and their very own ears."
