This is a heart-warming message that expresses everything I would hope our PM would represent, including staunch support for Israel. If you feel similarly, perhaps you could Julia Gillard a note of thanks. She needs to know that there are many who have valued her strength, intelligence and integrity. I, for one, will miss her greatly when the seemingly inevitable happens. Thank you, Julia.
Naomi,
I could not have put it better.
Thank you Julia.
