What is going on with the Prime Minister’s diplomatic snub to Australian caretaker PM Julia Gillard? He reluctantly admits to a journalist’s question that he phoned Opposition leader Tony Abbott after the weekend’s election, but not Prime Minister Julia Gillard, because he did not have her number.
So it is OK for the Prime Minister to phone the Australian Opposition Leader who is a fellow leader of the centre-right…but not call the Australian Prime Minister who happens to be a Labour leader? He doesnt have the Australian PM’s number in his phone? He couldn’t get foreign affairs to give him the number?
Does he realise that Australia is this country’s most important relationship?
