I'm not a Liberal voter (just to declare my allegiances) but that's pathetic by Gillard and dishonest by Shorten.
Only for us to find out this morning that this story is a fabrication by the Telegraph, described by Joyce himself as "misinformation".

This thread has become rather political, so let's close it, and commence Part II.
