Will Oz PM Julia Gillard join Twitter?
By ANITuesday, June 29, 2010
MELBOURNE - Is Australia’s new Prime Minister Julia Gillard joining Twitter? Well, that seems to be the latest question rolling on the tongues of many.
Despite a web page being created for her, Gillard’s office said that she might, but has more important commitments to see to before that.
“It is a possibility, but at this stage she is focused on briefings and organising the new ministry, so not at this stage, but perhaps in the future,” The Age quoted a spokeswoman as saying.
The website was in a frenzy as top journalists updated people about her way forward to the top job.
Although the PM has a Facebook account, it’s hard to know which one is real, since there are at least seven accounts claiming to be her.
And Twitter already has at least eight fake Julia Gillard accounts.
In her “bio”, one fake account describes Gillard as “the unmarried female atheist redheaded migrant Prime Minister of Australia”.(ANI)
