Then a well-known Hollywood producer raised his glass to toast his hero - Ronald
Reagan. "We need him again," he commented. I guarantee you've watched one of his
TV shows.

But when a self-made billionaire with an 11-figure private equity fund and a clear grasp
of Austrian economics starts to talk about America's prospects, you listen. So we all
listened.

Being in London, he started there. "To call (new Brit PM David) Cameron a disaster is
like calling Hurricane Katrina a squall. He's as much a Conservative as I am a Moslem. I
have already started preparing to relocate to Switzerland. If he succeeds in his current
push to raise capital gains taxes from 18% to 50% -- and it looks like he will - the British
economy and the London real estate market will crash. The best play around will be to
short the pound.

"In short, Cameron and Osborne (George Osborne, David Cameron's Oxford classmate Fraggle Rock

and now in Cameron's cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer, equivalent to our New $67.99
Treasury Secretary) lead secret lives. Just as they hide from the public that they are
homosexual behind the pretense of a marriage, they hide their liberal agenda behind
the pretense of being conservative. They will destroy Britain's economy just as sure as Privacy Information
Obama is destroying America's."

There followed a spirited exchange about financial escape hatches -- if the euro, the
pound, and the dollar fall off their respective cliffs, where does anybody go? The time-
worn adage of "buy gold, buy silver, buy Swiss Francs" may work for individuals, but
world equity markets are in a trap from which there is no clear exit.

One opinion was, "The best run governments around today are those of Canada and
Singapore - having one's savings denominated in their currencies is not a bad idea."
Then we got back to America.

Why is she considered extreme? our host asked, not on intimate terms with Nevada

Our host leaned over the table to look at me as if his eyes were lasers. "Jack, you need
to explain something to your friend. You need to explain something to America and all

1966 - Cloward - Piven Strategy Unveiled at Socialist Subscribe to

Posts [Atom]
Scholars Conference
Cross posted from KeyWiki Blog

Many commentators on the U.S. left have tried to minimize the significance and
importance of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, made famous by writer James Simpson and
TV personality Glenn Beck.

According to Simpson and Beck, Columbia University sociologists, husband and wife
team Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, devised a strategy in the early 1960s, to
crash the U.S. economy and bring on socialist revolution by deliberately overloading
state welfare rolls to the point of bankruptcy.

Many on the left regard this hypotheses as gross exaggeration at best, deliberate
misrepresentation at worst.

Richard A. Cloward

Cloward and Piven outlined their strategy at the Second Annual Socialist Scholars
Conference , held September 9-11, 1966 at the Hotel Commodore, New York, in a panel
entitled;

"Poverty and Powerlessness Organizing the Poor: Can it Be Done?"

Below is an eye witness report on this historic panel written by conservative journalist
Alice Widener - a highly regarded authority on the U.S. left of the day. The report
appeared in Widener's USA Magazine, September 16, 1966 page 28 and 29.

Read it and judge for yourself Cloward and Piven's intentions. Emphasis added.

Dr. Cloward's paper for the Socialist Scholars opened with a call for a systematic
strategy of "irregular and disruptive tactics" among the poor, urging them to
overburden city and state governments with their "demand,," as a means of
forcing these governments to turn to the federal government for more and
more funds.

Prof. Cloward said, "We need, to devote more attention to disrupting corporate
power." He described the poor as mere "supplicants" in the welfare state, and
said they have most to gain "from a major upheaval in our society." He said
our welfare system is "lawless" and violates human and civil rights. He called for
welfare recipients' forcing city welfare departments to impose the labor
union "check-off system" for welfare clients, by withholding 50 cents to a
dollar for each client as dues to a fund for unionization of welfare clients to
impose their demands for special benefits.

Prof. Cloward explained that each welfare client in New York City is entitled under
existing law to special benefits for clothing, blankets, etc. He said that in 1965
city special benefits welfare payments amounted to "about $40 per client"
and he called for each welfare client to demand $100 to $1,000 in such
benefits.

He said there are now 55,000 welfare clients in the city, but that by 1967 there
probably will be 60,000. The poor, said Dr. Cloward, could become a stake
and powerful organization "in small portions of power" within the context "of
a broader point."

Dr. Cloward said he had consulted with legal experts and "we estimate that
$200 million in special grants" could be obtained in New York City alone: Dr.
Cloward said that 'in Cleveland, on June 20, 1966, 30 to 35 welfare recipients
were joined by others in a demonstration that included the Hough area.

In early August, he said, he himself had taken part in "a national conference to
organize the welfare recipients movement,: Dr. Cloward said he personally
had taken part in Wednesday night meetings with welfare clients "week after
week, month after month," and that as a result, "Next Monday there will be a
demonstration of welfare recipients at City Hall"

Dr. Cloward read his paper to the Socialist Scholars Conference in the East
Ballroom of the Hotel Commodore on Saturday afternoon, September 10. On
Monday night, September 12, CBS and NBC TV newscasts showed the
demonstration of screaming welfare recipients that took place right on Cloward
schedule. They shouted demands for more "special benefits," though the present
city general welfare budget (including hospital services, etc.) is almost a billion
dollars annually, the Mayor says the city is "broke," and New Yorkers were
hit this year with a city income tax in addition to state and federal taxes to pay
for it all.

Prof. Cloward was right about the success of his Wednesday night meetings.
Evidently his strategy of "disruptive tactics" will require costly police
reinforcements at city welfare departments throughout our nation.

The prospects delighted Prof. William Ryan, formerly of Harvard now of Yale, who
described himself to the audience as "a radical without portfolio." He said, "I
have been enchanted with the Cloward strategy of blowing a fuse in the
welfare agencies, housing developments, and among unmarried mothers. I
wonder what would happen if there was a really systematic overload."

When a member of the audience went to the floor microphone during the
question period to ask whether Dr. Cloward's strategy is a substitute for
"Socialist organization of the proletariat, the industrial factory workers " Dr.
Frances Piven of Columbia replied from the dais: "I really only want to make
one point-the disruption of the system. Welfare rolls will begin to go up;
welfare payments will begin to go up-the impact will be very, very sharp. The
mounting welfare budget will increase taxes, force cities to turn to the federal
government. We have to help people to make claims; for this they will
organize and act."

The 1966 Socialist Scholars conference was organized by many of the leading radicals
of the day including former and current Communist Party supporters Louis Menashe,
James Becker, Philip Foner, Eugene Genovese, Paul Sweezy and James Weinstein -
later a founder of the Marxist based Democratic Socialists of America, in which today
 Frances Fox Piven serves as an honorary chair.

One time Soviet Spy and Communist Party member Victor Perlo also addressed the
conference, as did the Party's chief theoretician Herbert Aptheker.

No doubt all were impressed by Cloward and Piven's cunning plan.

A review of “THE MANCHURIAN PRESIDENT”

Barack Obama’s ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists

By; Aaron Klein, with Brenda J. Elliott

Reviewed by: FERN SIDMAN

American journalist, author and radio host, Aaron Klein, along with historian and
researcher, Brenda J. Elliott blow the lid off the dome of silence surrounding the Obama
administration as they boldly unmask the nation’s 44th president in their latest chilling
monograph entitled. “The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists,
Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists”  (WND Books – May 2010). Providing
close to 900 footnotes and countless pages of documentation they reveal surreptitious
ties to radical leftists of all stripes. If the title of this book sounds at all familiar, it is a
takeoff on the 1959 political thriller novel by Robert Condon called “The Manchurian
Candidate”  in which the son of a prominent US political family has been brainwashed
into being an unwitting assassin for the Communist party.

While Klein does not infer that President Obama is part of a Communist sleeper cell, he
does present an exhaustive investigation into President Obama’s background and his
radical ties to pivotal figures in the Communist movement, both inside the White House
and out who also happen to be major players in crafting legislation, including the
economic stimulus package. This weighty tome weaves a complex spider’s web of a
narrative that is replete with a plethora of names and organizations of radical leftists,
hitherto unknown by the public who helped shape Obama’s ideology and career.

Starting with Obama’s childhood affiliation as a Sunday school attendee at the First
Unitarian in Honolulu, a radical activist church that not only served as sanctuary for draft
dodgers in the 1960s and 70s but had strong links to the even more radical Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS), Klein embellishes on the movement that gave birth to the
underground terrorist offshoot called the Weathermen. It was through this organization
that Obama liaison Bill Ayers achieved fame as a Pentagon bomber-conspirator and a
notorious leftist student agitator. Ayers summed up the Weathermen ideology which he
referred to as “an American Red Army” by saying, “Kill all the rich people. Break up their
cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.”

Klein informs us that Obama worked directly with Ayers in Chicago back in 1988, after
Ayers resurfaced from his underground status amid multiple criminal charges related to
his extremist activities. The charges were dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct. The
two were introduced by Gerald “Jerry”  Kellman, a Marxist acolyte of radical community
organizer Saul Alinsky, and thus, a professional association was forged as Obama
served with the Ayers’  run community advocacy coalition called the Alliance for Better
Chicago Schools, or ABC. When Obama launched his political career in 1995, the venue
for his first fundraiser was the Chicago apartment of Bill Ayers and the two served
alongside each other from 1995 to 2000 on a $100 million education foundation called
the Chicago Annenberg Challenge or CAC.

Says Klein, “To underscore Ayers’  radical mentality in 1995, while he worked closely
with Obama, the unrepentant terrorist gave an interview in that year for author Ron
Chepesiuk’s book Sixties Radicals, in which Ayers stated, “I’m a radical, leftist, small ‘c’ 
communist.”

Following the guidelines of Alinsky-like tactics of working within the system to overthrow
the capitalist structure of American government, Klein speaks of Obama’s direct links to
the CAC’s role in “disbursing money through various far-left community organizers, such
as ACORN.”  Such Socialist led organizations and unions like Project VOTE!, the SEIU
(Service Employees International Union), the AFL-CIO (the American Federation of
Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations), AFSCME (American Federation of
State and County Municipal Employees) and the Apollo Alliance are also directly linked
to ACORN and Obama cronies with “questionable” ties. Quoting from a 2001 book by
Jarol B. Manheim, “The Death of a Thousand Cuts: Corporate Campaigns and the
Attack on the Corporation,” Klein says that “by 1986, ACORN had forged institutional ties
with AFL-CIO Central Labor Councils in at least 30 cities” and that ACORN’s “People’s
Platform”  included such radical reformist objectives as “free medical care, a public
defender system, the elimination of the state income tax for low income people and
higher welfare benefits.”

Obama’s associations with the Nation of Islam, Black Liberation Theology and black
political extremists are also revealed in nuanced detail, as Klein reveals that Obama
attended the million man march organized by Nation of Islam leader and rabid Jew
hater, Louis Farrakhan. For over 20 years Obama attended the Trinity United Church of
Christ in Chicago where Farrakhan gave guest lectures at the behest of anti-American
extremist preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Klein also uncovers the fact that the Nation of
Islam was on Obama’s payroll in the early days of his political career and that his senior
advisor, David Axelrod also maintained ties to radical Islam through his association as
a board member of St. Sabena’s Church in Chicago which served as a haven for black
nationalists of the Nation of Islam variety.

The backgrounds of other key Obama advisors and “Czars” such as Valerie Jarrett, Van
Jones, Andy Stern, Cass Sunstein and John Holdren are also carefully scrutinized by
Klein as well as their political leanings and the influence they wield in this current
administration. Ghastly epiphanies proliferate, as Klein documents the fact that
Communist Party member, Frank Marshall Davis who would become a mentor to the
young Barack Obama in Hawaii worked closely with Vernon Jarrett, Valerie Jarrett’s
father-in-law in at least three communist dominated organizations in Chicago in the late
1940s. Former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, who resigned his post in September of
2009, was forced out of his job by allegations of association with a Marxist group during
the 1990s. Having been arrested several times during the 90s for political activism,
Jones was quoted in a November 2005 interview with the East Bay Express as saying
that while in jail, “”I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical,
communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’”

“The Manchurian President” also exposes how Obama’s health-care policy, masked by

moderate populist rhetoric, was pushed along and partially crafted by extremists. Some
of them reveal in their own words that their principal aim is to achieve corporate socialist
goals and a vast increase in government powers.

Klein was recently quoted on FOX news as saying, “It is clear that Barack Obama has
ties to an anti-American fringe nexus that was instrumental in building his political
career from the beginning all the way through now.” He adds that, “I believe this work is
crucial to Americans from across the political spectrum, including mainstream
Democrats who should be alarmed that their party has been hijacked by an extreme-left
bent on permanently changing the party to fits its radical agenda.”

This meticulously documented piece of outstanding investigative research is a must

read for all good citizens of this great country who are concerned with the future of our
cherished freedoms and values.

Spychief - Canadian Politics Compromised by Foreign

Power - China Prime Suspect
For those naive souls who think New Zealand's Free Trade Agreement with the People's
Republic of China, is somehow a good thing, I suggest you read the following report.

Beijing aggressively buys and compromises politicians in any country in which it gains
the smallest toehold.

If the Butchers of Beijing can compromise Canadian provincial governments, how long
until they can buy or dictate New Zealand government policy?

Do we want these socialist/fascists compromising New Zealand's national sovereignty?

Richard Fadden

Ottawa’s spymaster, Richard Fadden, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence

Service, risked his career by declaring in an interview with state-run television that
cabinet ministers in two provinces and municipal politicians in British Columbia are
“under the control of foreign governments.”  Fadden did not specify the two provincial
governments. However, B.C. and Alberta, Canada’s two westernmost provinces, have
aggressively pursued trade relations with the People's Republic of China. In his
comments to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Fadden stated:

These politicians haven’t hidden their ties to foreign governments, and recently
they’ve been shifting their policy decisions to reflect those relationships. I
have discussed this with Canada’s Privy Council, how best to tell those provincial
governments, that they may have been comprised. There is no evidence that
any federal politicians have been infiltrated.

A number of countries take the view that if they can develop influence with
people relatively early in their careers they’ll follow them through. Before you
k n o w i t , a country’s providing them with money, some sort of covert
guidance.

Fadden declined to name the elected officials or hostile countries involved, but when
probed further whether the People’s Republic of China was complicit, the CSIS director
acknowledged that recent media reports on the PRC’s economic espionage in Canada
were not “entirely incorrect.” The CBC report added that “at least five countries, including
China and Middle Eastern countries, are recruiting political prospects in universities.”

The Young Communist League USA is getting ready to plan their role in the 2010 mid
term elections and beyond.

YCLUSA leaders, 2010

On July 17-18, in the city of Chicago, the Communist Party and the Young
Communist League will hold a two day conference followed by a four day school
on young people today. It's a chance to discuss and examine the main
characteristics of today's young generation, and what economic-social- political
have influenced them most. What's new and emerging? What adjustments does
the party have to make in organizing among young people? Why do young
people need their own organization?

This conference/school follows on the heels of the very successful convention of

the CPUSA, where many young people participated, sharing their experiences,
helping to craft party policy and to build the YCL.

Youth played an extraordinary role in the 2008 elections. The vast majority
supported change over the rightwing dominated status quo. The Obama
campaign/movement ignited a new spirit of youth activism and brought record
numbers of youth to the polls. The desire for change and the spirit of activism
among youth continues today with the worsening conditions of life brought on by
the economic crisis.

The movement for jobs has to also focus on the November midterm
elections. The extreme right is trying to reverse the results won in the 2008
election. They want a Republican rightwing majority in the U.S. House and
Senate. They want to set the stage for a defeat of Obama in 2012.

The CPUSA/YCL conference and school will examine how both organizations
can work to defeat this extremely dangerous right wing counter offensive.

Discussion topics at the school will include political economy, objective

assessment of the Obama administration, the political balance of forces, the
 socialist perspective and the U.S., building unity and organizing at the grassroots
for jobs and equality.

Despite its comparatively small size the Young Communist League has considerable
i n f l u e n c e i n United for Peace and Justice, student governments, "community
organizations and Barack Obama's organizing for America.

During Barack Obama's 2004 Senate run, Chicago YCLers were active in Youth for
Obama, the League also threw all its resources behind Obama in 2008.

"When We Die as Martyrs"

Golda Meir, former Prime Minister of Israel, was once asked when there would be peace
in the Middle East. She replied, "There will be peace in the Middle East when the Arabs
love their children more than they hate us."

Julia Gillard - New Aussie P.M.'s Red Roots

Australia has its first female Prime minister "Red Julia" Gillard.

Often touted as a moderate, or even to the

"right" by Australian Labor Party standards, she
is unfortunately, anything but.

Gillard is a member of the socialist Australian

F a b i a n S o c i e t y, j o i n i n g t h r o u g h h e r
membership in an even more left organization -
a fact she has been very cagey about.

In the run-up to the 2007 Australian elections,

then ALP deputy leader Gillard was the centre
of controversy, after then Federal Treasurer, Peter Costello exposed her past ties to to a
Communist Party of Australia linked organisation, Socialist Forum.

Initially Gillard admitted her association, but played it down.

Here's part of a 17th October Lateline interview with ABC journalist Tony Jones

TONY JONES: Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

JULIA GILLARD: (Laughs) Tony, I think that question shows how silly all of this is
getting, though I suspect in this interview, probably the Howard Government would think
you're the dangerous radical. After all, I'm only from the Labor Party, you're from the ABC.

TONY JONES: Well look, seriously, Peter Costello has thrown this out. Let's deal with it
properly. What's the Socialist Forum? Were you an organiser for it? And when did that
happen, if you were?

JULIA GILLARD: Tony, it's 2007 and I'm a 46-year-old woman. What Peter Costello is
referring to is more than 20 years ago when I was in my 20s. I was a full-time university
student and I had a part-time job for an organisation called Socialist Forum, which was
a sort of debating society. It ultimately amalgamated with the Fabian society, which of
course is a long-running ideas and debating group in Australian politics and indeed in
British politics before Australian politics. I've worked in the cleric and administrative
work.
TONY JONES: It wasn't a front organisation for Communists?

JULIA GILLARD: Certainly not. It was an organisation where people who identified
themselves as progressives, some in the Labor Party, some outside the Labor Party,
would come together and would talk about ideas. I did clerical and administrative work,
Tony. This is so long ago. It's the days before modern computers and the internet, in the
days where if you wanted to put out a meeting notice to people you wouldn't send an
email, you'd get out an envelope and put it in your IBM electric typewriter and type up the
address and then get the next one. That's the sort of thing I used to do.

Julia Gillard's vagueness with Tony Jones is surprising, as a week before the Sunday
Herald Sun's Lincoln Wright had published this story on News.com.au

Scrapping the ANZUS treaty, twinning Melbourne with Leningrad and introducing a
super-tax on the rich were among radical policies devised or backed by Julia Gillard as
a student activist.

Labor's deputy leader was a key figure in a socialist group that pushed radical policies
and social agendas in the 1980s and early '90s.

Founded in 1984 as a pressure group within the ALP, the Socialist Forum also wanted
to sever Australia's alliance with the US, remove the spy base at Pine Gap, introduce
death duties and redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor.

The Sunday Herald Sun has gained access to the forum's archive – held in the Baillieu
Library at the University of Melbourne.

The archive contains material revealing the radical past of Ms Gillard, including her links
to former members of the Communist Party of Australia.

Ms Gillard, who could be Australia's next deputy prime minister, was on the
management committee of the forum for many years. She acted as its public officer,
secretary, and legal adviser on the drafting of its constitution.

Her signature is on liquor licence applications for the forum's social events, such as
theatre nights.

In a pamphlet from the mid-1980s, Ms Gillard describes herself as a "socialist and a

feminist" and someone who joined the ALP at 16.

"Contrary to what may have been suggested, Socialist Forum is not a secret
organisation nor is it a sub-caucus with the Socialist Left," Ms Gillard says in the
pamphlet.

"The members of the forum are drawn from varied backgrounds. Around 45 of the
forum's members left the Communist Party of Australia in the division of a year ago and
about 80 are members of the ALP. The largest group are not members of any political
party."

The 200-plus member forum sought to influence Bob Hawke's Labor government,
especially on foreign and economic policy, through the free discussion of ideas.

One key document is the 1985 "Pine Gap - Planning a Strategy", drafted by Philip Hind,
who recommends a long-term policy of abrogating the ANZUS Treaty, removing Pine
Gap and eventually closing all US bases.

Mr Hind visited the former Soviet Union and came back praising the reforms of president
Mikhail Gorbachev. He recommended stronger ties with the USSR, including making
Melbourne a sister city of Leningrad (now St Petersburg).

The archive also reveals the forum's debate over tax policy was based on a Communist
Party tax pamphlet titled "A Case for Radical Tax Reform".

"We argue that there is only one effective way to reform the tax system, by a sweeping
redistribution of the tax burden which now hits hardest at low and middle-income
earners," the pamphlet says.

In reality Socialist Forum was almost wholly a vehicle for former leaders of the
Communist Party. I quote Australian Marxist-Leninist paper Green Left Weekly from an
article from 30th November 1994 on late Communist Party of Australia leader Bernie
Taft.

The end was in sight by the early '80s, and Taft, most of the Victorian leadership and a
quarter of the CPA National Committee departed to form Socialist Forum, an ALP ginger
group.
Social Action Australia, claims that Socialist Forum was, not a split in the Communist
Party, but a deliberate communist attempt to infiltrate the ALP, in response to Catholic
aligned Labor "rightists" moving back into the party.

Left-wing acquiescence for the re-entry of the Grouper unions into the ALP in 1984
resulted in the Victorian branch of the CPA being allowed to enter the ALP en masse
and consequently to form an inner party organisation called ‘Socialist Forum’. This
organisation was led by the former communist Victorian leader, Bernie Taft, who had
adhered to the strategy formulated by the influential Italian Marxist theorist Antonio
Gramasci. Gramasci’s strategy envisaged that power transformation could be facilitated
through communists gaining control of the levers of power: i.e. Marxist infiltration of trade
unions, educational facilities, cultural associations and political parties.

Gillard came semi-clean about her long term involvement in Socialist Forum in a 23rd
October interview with Melbourne radio station 3AW, now unfortunately scrubbed.

JULIA GILLARD: I’ve been predominantly asked about the time I worked there and so
I’ve talked about that, I’ve answered all of those questions. What happened is I worked
there for a period of time when I was at university. I then finished my university career
and moved into my legal career. To do that, I did the course you could do instead of
being an article clerk, Leo Cousins; that was a full time course and to support myself
through it I waitressed three nights a week. And then I went and got a job at Slater and
Gordon, worked pretty hard there, made partner in three years. So whilst I kept a
membership of Socialist Forum, I sort of drifted out of active involvement with it. So yes, I
would have attended the occasional meeting, but…

NEIL MITCHELL: When would you last have gone to a meeting?

JULIA GILLARD: Oh, look I really couldn’t tell you that, honestly Neil but a very long time
ago. In the sense that as my legal career got more and more intense, as a partner I
didn’t have time left over for other things, so…

NEIL MITCHELL: So were you on the Management Committee until 1994 at least?

JULIA GILLARD: I would’ve been. I mean, certainly the records show that I would’ve
stayed on the management committee. But Neil, this is a voluntary organisation; a
couple of hundred members. Once you’re on the management committee of something
like that it can be hard to get off because no one wants to step up and take your place!

NEIL MITCHELL: Did you ever resign? Did you ever resign from the Socialist Forum?

JULIA GILLARD: No, it petered out, what…

NEIL MITCHELL: Well, it sort of became the Fabian Society, didn’t it?

JULIA GILLARD: Yeah, what happened is, its membership went into decline - it was only
ever a very small thing. You know, its membership went into decline. It entered an
arrangement with the Fabian Society and what was then the Evatt Foundation in Victoria
which was also a bit of an ideas think tank. Entered an arrangement to share offices
and share costs and all the rest of it. That happened in 1997, I think. And sort of slowly
after that the Forum petered out. And now…

NEIL MITCHELL: Did you…

JULIA GILLARD: …people who want to join that sort of thing join the Fabian Society.

NEIL MITCHELL: So are you a member of the Fabian Society?

JULIA GILLARD: Yes I am.

NEIL MITCHELL: And what, you just sort of went from Socialist Forum to Fabian Society?

JULIA GILLARD: I hold a membership of the Fabian Society, I do support people getting
together and talking about ideas. I think that’s all to the good.

NEIL MITCHELL: Mmm.

JULIA GILLARD: I, obviously, with all my responsibilities am not a regular attendee at

Fabian Society events…

NEIL MITCHELL: Sure.

JULIA GILLARD: They generously invited me to address their recent dinner which I did.

The parliamentary register of interests states that Julia Gillard remained a member of
Socialist Forum from 1998-2002, after which the group merged with the Fabian Society.
