Margaret, it was a hoax. It first circulated by email in 2009, and was supposed to be stated in a speech by then the Prime Minster at the time, Kevin Rudd. The exact speech did the rounds again last year, but this time Julia Gillard has been given the honour of making it.
No present Australian politician, apart from Pauline Hanson, would have the guts to come out with a speech like that. They are no different here than in the uk. They just feather their own nests, then clear off with a big fat super package
