Quote of the day:
“I think Tony Abbott is welcome to have his wife on the campaign trail but Julia Gillard has been subject to some quite nasty attacks by the opposition and in the media. And I’m frankly disgusted by it. She’s got her own partner and her relationship with that partner and that’s a great strength to any member of parliament, as my own partner is.”
— Australian Greens leader Bob Brown takes aim at some members of the media and the opposition for their focus on Prime Minister Gillard’s personal life.
