Importing apples

What a PM Australia has!
When Julia Gillard went to New Zealand she said in Parliament with her big mouth that New Zealand apples will come to Australia. How dare you say that New Zealand apples come to Australia, when they are full of fire blight? Gillard should have asked the farmers of Australia first if they want New Zealand apples in Australia.
I can remember Sir Robert Menzies once said a Labor politician is a communist with no brains. Rob Oakesholt and Tony Windsor should stop the Labor Government bringing apples from New Zealand as they are the fools who sided with Labor in the last election.

John Salata,
Glen Aplin
