It’s gone largely unremarked in the press, but Julia Gillard has been giving some terrific speeches over recent months. For pure oratory, some of the best include:
- the Whitlam oration (citing Walt Whitman)
- a statement to parliament on Afghanistan
- the St Patrick’s Day lunch
- the CEDA lecture
- a condolence motion for victims of the summer natural disasters
- an address to the US Congress
- an after-dinner speech to the Australian-American Association
