Gillard says her response to being called ‘Ju-Liar’ unsuitable for airwaves
March 15th, 2011 - 4:37 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, Mar. 15 (ANI): Julia Gillard has admitted her response to broadcaster Alan Jones’s description of her as Ju-Liar wouldn’t be suitable for the airwaves.
‘Some words you probably can’t use on the ABC, even at this time of night’, she said on the ABC’s Q&A.
‘I think it would be a bad result if tomorrow people were [watching] TV, and then the Prime Minister said ‘beep, beep beep’. I’ll try not to do that.’
But, according to The Age, she said she went on Mr. Jones’s Sydney radio program ‘because I’m not going to let people spew nonsense uncontested’, including denying climate change. (ANI)
