    Caption contest: Gillard and her Apple iPad

    This picture just arrived courtesy of Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s Twitter account:

    Our question is — what is Gillard saying here? The funniest comment will win a bottle of red or white wine, courtesy of the fantastic Australian winery De Bortoli Wines. Yes, we know we haven’t yet revealed the winner of our previous caption contest, but we will get around to that shortly!

      This is with my cynicism turned to 11 and the funnies on low, sorry, and I’m aware that it’s not even exactly a valid answer to your question. But that’s where the cynicism comes in:

      “Prime Minister Gillard proudly shows off the first of the electronic bibles that will be distributed to all Australian school children as part of the newly announced $222 million funding for the Schools Chaplaincy program.”
