On October 20, 2001, yourPDFDU has had received the following response from PM Kevin Rudd, before he visits Israel in 2003.

Julia Gillard has visited Israel too. This Digest will find out where Julia Gillard stand on this issue!

                "Asem,
                Thank you for taking the time to send me your message concerning the ABC.
                The issues you have raised are of concern. There is always criticism of
                media coverage of some issue - and I think that there has been a lot of
                criticism of media coverage of issues in the Middle East. I think that
                criticism and debate of such topics can only help to produce a more balance
                approach to reporting in out Media. Your critical comments can only help to
                address the balance.
                Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. Please do not hesitate to
                contact my office if I can be of assistance on any issue.
                Kevin."

"My motion was an invitation to this House to debate an issue which has not been de-bated here in living memory.

Whether or not members of this House agreed with the motion, I expected that the debate would be conducted in a cool and

rational way. I was aware that there are differences of opinion on this issue and that those differences go across party lines. I

was also aware that some members of my own party did not want the motion to be debated. In particular, the member for

Melbourne Ports went to great lengths to have the motion with-drawn.

The events surrounding the selection of the motion and the attempts to have it withdrawn were fairly described in

Alan Ramsey’s column in the Sydney Morning Herald on 26 October. I must admit that I was surprised that a private

member’s motion from an opposition backbench member could attract so much interest, but I was soon to find out

why there is a code of silence in this parliament which forbids the discussion of what is by any description a major

issue in world affairs." (Julia Irwin Labor MP for Fowler, House of Representatives Hansard 9 December 2002)

Julia Irwin, Labor PM for Kevin Rudd will kill any healthy debate for years to come.

We have to unite to stop Kevin Rudd from further power abuse.
