That is achieved by the electoral commission, the better prospects for Labor candidates and those within the brotherhood of Greens - our country's traitors.

oh come on phil   that was GILLARD


JAMES MASSOLA AND LOUISE DODSON
Julia Gillard has endorsed the deal that will see up to 1715 foreign workers employed on Gina Rinehart’s $6.5 billion Roy Hill iron ore project, fending off attempts by the Opposition to drive a political wedge between her and her front bench.

As Immigration Minister Chris Bowen revealed he had provided a detailed briefing about the controversial deal to the Prime Minister’s office at the beginning of last week, Ms Gillard was pressed by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott on whether she backed the “whole deal” and whether she had told trade union officials that she didn’t support it.

Ms Gillard initially told the parliament on Monday she supported the Roy Hill project because it would employ up to 6500 Australians, but avoided saying whether she backed the agreement to hire foreign workers.

“The Roy Hill agreement will go ahead,” she said. “It supports Australian jobs and I support Australian jobs.”

But she eventually endorsed the deal: “The Roy Hill agreement is about jobs, is about training, is about indigenous jobs for Australians, is about this agreement for up to 1715 foreign workers, and it has my support.”

Mr Bowen announced on Friday he had signed the enterprise migration agreement (EMA), which will allow Ms Rinehart to hire up to 1715 workers for the project in north Western Australia, a move attacked by some Labor MPs and union leaders.

Ms Gillard and Mr Bowen were grilled during question time on Monday over the timing of briefings before the announcement, amid suggestions the Prime Minister had distanced herself from the deal during talks with unions leaders on Friday.

Mr Bowen said there had been “substantial consultation between my office and other ministerial offices” over the deal last week.

“A detailed brief was provided to the Prime Minister’s office early in the week of the 21st of May,’’ he said.

Thousands of people get charged with things every day - like Abbott, thousands of them aren't guilty of those charges. You really ought to stop beating your head against the brick wall over that one - you're just destroying the few brain cells you do possess.
