Quotes
- "I came to Australia as a four year old child whose father was forced out of school because his family couldn’t afford his continuing education. Here in Australia it was different. I knew I could go to university if I worked hard and got the grades. That’s what Australia gave me and that’s what John Howard has taken away – a fair go for everyone that doesn’t depend on who you are or how much you earn."—Julia Girard
- "If Peter Costello genuinely thought about it, could he be the mother of three children, have been Treasurer for more than a decade and be the next in line to be Prime Minister? The frank answer is no." —Julia Girard
