The whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me Mr. Whippy!

Julia Gillard has always maintained her work with Socialist Forum, "a sort of debating society," was part-time clerical work when she was a student.

ABC Broadcast: 17/10/2007

TONY JONES: Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

JULIA GILLARD: Tony, it's 2007 and I'm a 46-year-old woman. What Peter Costello is referring to is more than 20 years ago when I was in my 20s. I was a full-time university student and I had a part-time job for an organisation called Socialist Forum, which was a sort of debating society. It ultimately amalgamated with the Fabian society, which of course is a long-running ideas and debating group in Australian politics and indeed in British politics before Australian politics. I've worked in the cleric and administrative work.

Sitting on "The Special management Committee" seems more involved than part-time clerical work.

Where has this gem been locked up? In the defunct National Civic Council files?

"I was a full time university student and I had a part time job with an organisation called Socialist Forum, which was a sort of debating society".

What Gillard forgot to say during that interview was that is was an extension of the Australian Communist Party and considered itself a political party in competition with the Australian Labor Party and she was a member of its "Special Management Committee".

I suppose her defence would likely be that she was young and naive and didn't realise what she had gotten herself into!!!

Julia Gillard, from a very early age appears to have been a practices mishandler of the truth and this is a trait that seems to have remained with her until this day.

RecidivistjuLiar's one Absolute and/or Fundamental characteristic, is that she lies as easily as regular folks breath.

Reality, also, is that both Australia and America -- until their respective "elections" and along with Israel, only, Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization's Absolutely last holdouts against collectivist/statist tyranny -- are now both insidiously "governed" by formerly closeted Mussolini-modeled modified Marxist organized-criminal gangs-posing-as-political-parties, both of them increasing-overtly Hell-bent on the authoritarian-regulatory destruction of every individual freedom and of the federations in which they operate.

Cant believe it didn't go "missing". Maybe Shorten had this one and "accidentally" sent it to Michael Smith.

Anything is possible with that mob, kraka.

How could anyone with half a brain willingly be a member of the Labor Parliamentary Party knowing that the person/s peeing in your pocket today will very likely shove a knife into you tomorrow?

I wonder if the organisers got Slater & Gordon to set up this "Special management Committee". Having a in part time job with it is no different to working part time in later life for same firm while the other part was working for herself and friends.
Did she ever answer Tony Jones' question?
Interesting to note who some of the other Fabianists are today. The motion Hartly put up must have been voted down.

could you please translate this arcane speech for ordinary Australians

Communist. Is that simple enough for you?

[Tee]

so you are Brian are you Jordan; its getting weirder here as the multiple (confused fascist) personalities speak.

[Jordan]

I have never used the moniker Brian. You sound quite young Tee. Now read carefully and don't ever forget this:

If you're not a socialist (so called progressive) at 20, you have no heart.

If you're still a socialist at 40, you have no brains.

[Tee]

12.

who says Im a socialist? You are full of debilitating assumption it seems.

as far as brains go why do you answer a question asked of Brian if you are not him?

Perhaps you are the didactic one who needs to read carefully "old" boy.

[Jordan]

13.

1. Are you not a socialist? A philosopher perhaps, LOL

2. "so you are Brian are you Jordan;" You said it.

3. I do read carefully.

[Jordan]

14.

Anyway Tee, as they say on the political analysis shows -

It's been nice having you on.

[Tee]

Oh Jordan I am so checkmated, thanks, you are so smart and such a careful reader LMFAO.
