'I smoked dope as well, but I didn't like it': Julia Gillard

Acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard has admitted she smoked dope while at university, but didn't like it.

After federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull last night admitted he had smoked marijuana in the past, Ms Gillard admitted she too had tried it.

"At university, tried it, didn't like it," she told Melbourne radio today.

"I think probably many Australian adults would be able to make the same statement so I don't think it matters one way or the other."

Ms Gillard said she did not think it mattered that Mr Turnbull had confessed to smoking dope in the past.

"I can't imagine that it matters in any way shape or form, no."

okay I have smoked dope as well.I am not an elected official I am just a voter but let it be known that my last vote was not drug affected in any way. I feel so much better now that that is off my chest everybody please follow me in your admission to smoking dope the whole country is bound to feel a whole lot better and more at ease with itself.not to mention that the distraction would be then passed so that we can get on with things of greater importance.

Best comment you have made yet Julia.."I can't imagine that it matters in any way shape or form, no." Turnbull smoked it in Uni too...some 30 yrs ago...in no way shape or for does it matter. There was much more to the Q&A program than this very insignificant 2 minutes.

Looks like in this case even a little had a long term effect. Now as the Parliamentary drone we have to put up with hours of monotone speeches from out Jewel until ET comes back.
