Julia Gillard’s cynical spin about her launch speech has today been brutally exposed.
The speech wasn’t “off the cuff” as claimed – rather, Ms Gillard relied on carefully scripted notes.
Yesterday, prior to the speech, Labor backgrounded to the media that Ms Gillard would speak off the cuff.
As part of the charade, after the speech Labor Ministers fell over themselves to tell the media that Ms Gillard had spoken without notes.
But both an ABC camera and a Fairfax photographer captured the truth.
Prepared speech notes had been quietly placed on the lectern prior to Ms Gillard's entry.
This is typical Labor – all spin, no substance.
Ms Gillard should apologise for her shameless attempt to deceive the people of Australia.
The only way to end the spin and get real action is to vote Liberal on Saturday.
