  • Madam Gillard should have sent the head of her Department to the meeting as her personal representative not a person who has the status within the public service akin to a messenger boy! This shows how utterly out of touch Madam Gillard is in the area of high level government policy and leadership! All who voted labor owe John Howard a long overdue apology!

  • If Gillard believes it was ok to send her staffer to national security committee meetings, why did she not mention that fact at the time when she defended Rudd who had done the same. She should have defended Rudd by saying that she also sends staffers to security meetings. The fact that she never mentioned it, until the leak, is hypocrisy.
