*Subject:*  The definitive Gillard interview (unfortunately you will have
heard it all many times before).


TV: “Congratulations Prime Minister. Before we start, as we stand here on
Thursday afternoon, do you accept that tomorrow will be Friday?”

PM: “We have always supported the standard structure of the calendar and
acknowledge that the public expect a regular system that provides the
rhythm necessary for everyday planning and life structures. We feel very
strongly about this.”

TV: “So you do agree that tomorrow is Friday?”

PM: “It isn’t important whether it is Friday or Monday. What is important
is that unexpected changes don’t interfere with the normal expectations of
the public - and this government has a solid record in supporting those
expectations.”

TV: “But as today is Thursday, surely you can confirm that tomorrow is
Friday?”

PM: “Everything is relative and whether the next day is Wednesday or Sunday
is dependent on where you stand at the time. We have never challenged the
current system and have the full support of the unions on this. Most
intelligent people agree that changes are not required.”

TV: “Well then, what day is tomorrow?”

PM: “Tomorrow is the next day in our plan to further develop our marvellous
country in many areas. We plan to continue providing better health care,
reduced debt, reduced unemployment, controlled immigration and to be a
world leader in controlling global warming.”

TV: “Returning to the question, can you not confirm that Friday is
tomorrow?”

PM: “Friday is always around. It has been around many times before and will
be around again many more times. Which is why we need - as a responsible
government - to plan and organise for the future. Not just for tomorrow,
but for our children and their children.

TV: “Prime Minister, the viewers are waiting for your answer on what day
you think tomorrow is?”

PM: “We are dealing with bigger issues here. The Friday, Saturday, Sunday
thing is not important or relevant to the scheme of things. They need to
understand the critical issues and focus on the matters of concern, such as
the condition of our nation and how we can continue to develop it so that
all may reap the benefit.”

TV: “I’m sorry, we seem to have lost the point here again. Are you saying
that it isn’t Friday tomorrow?”

PM: “The reality is that it is not important what day it is. What is
important is how we handle the situation - and my government is handling it
with solid policies evolved from the mandate the people gave us.”

TV: “But we just want to know if you agree that it will be Friday
tomorrow?”

PM: “Let’s remain focused here. It is the nation that is important and we
stand fast and rock steady in our dedication to the job in hand. In
closing, let me say this one more time – we are fully committed to the task
and have commissioned a report that will enable us to develop the plans for
the future. Thank you.”
