THE GUARDIAN: In an extraordinary interview with Howard Sattler on Perth radio, prime minister repeatedly quizzed about sexuality of her partner
Julia Gillard has been asked on a Perth radio program whether her live-in partner, Tim Mathieson, is gay.
Controversial talk back radio host Howard Sattler posed the question to the prime minister on Thursday afternoon on the premise of clearing up rumours and things "you hear."
Sattler said to the prime minister he would offer her a chance to clear up ''myths, rumours, snide jokes and innuendo'' during the interview on Perth's 6PR.
"Tim's gay?" Sattler inquired of the prime minister.
"Well that's absurd," Gillard replied. » | Katharine Murphy, deputy political editor | Thursday, June 13, 2013
