Respect for Gillard

Geoffrey Gillmour wrote a letter in the Free Times 1.9.11. The PM deserves respect. Why should the farmers and the people have respect for Gillard when she lets imported apples from China and New Zealand into Australia when the farmers did not want them? She has no respect for the people of Australia. I will tell you Geoffrey, I have no respect for Gillard. The late great Sir Robert Menzies said, never have respect for a communist.

John Salata,
Glen Aplin
