An email to 2UE’s Stuart Bocking
Good evening Stuart,
I was watching Julia Gillard’s appearance on the WA edition of Today Tonight when she ruled out September 25 as the election date, and I agree with you, she ruled it out because the election will have already been held by then. The date I’m hearing from a few people who should know is August 28, and the word is that she will visit the Governor-General next weekend to make it all happen.
She might also be at the MCG on AFL Grand Final day, and as a Bulldogs supporter I’d like to see her on the ground as a player. She is the secret weapon…all that she needs to do is stand there and recite her immigration policy announcement speech of the other day, and before you know it everyone will have fallen asleep, allowing her to kick the only goal of the match. It’ll be a great day, the Dogs first premiership since 1954…and Julia will have finally done something which I can agree with!
Regards,
Samuel Gordon-Stewart
