"He taught me to be passionate about fairness."
"But above all, he taught me to love learning and to understand its power to change lives."
~Words of the Honorable Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard on the death of her father. 8 September 2012

OTHER THAT MATTERS
OTHER THAT MATTERS
"PM takes stick to economic pessimists" -AAP
"As prime minister, I am concerned that left unchecked, this kind of distorted coverage could continue to spread." ~JG
"Even the most pessimistic predictions were themselves statements that the glass was actually three quarters or four fifths full." ~JG
"I'm not talking here about criticism of the government's economic policies - not at all - I'm referring to glaring misstatements about the economy itself." ~Julia Gillard, CEDA's State of the Nation conference in Canberra.
"If irrational exuberance has an opposite it's probably unreasonable pessimism and we've witnessed that in some quarters these past three weeks." ~Julia Gillard, June 24, 2013
"Some commentators ignored two important features of the national accounts: new dwelling investment rose by 10.2 per cent - the strongest annual growth in 10 years - and non-rural commodity export volumes were up 13.2 per cent." ~JG
"The continued pessimism was not being matched by the performance of key economic indicators, adding low expectations could themselves become an economic problem." ~JG
"The most recent national accounts data showed the Australian economy was growing, stable and strong."

Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia
'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT... Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you,then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you.'
