Punch Tv
Deputy PM and Education Minister Julia Gillard joined us today on Punch TV on Sky News, discussing asylum seekers, school league tables, the economy and the next election. We also asked her about the tensions within the Left Faction over the future of frontbencher Laurie Ferguson whose seat has been abolished. Watch it here.
Federal Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek reckons she’d be pretty uncomfortable about convicted pedophile Dennis Ferguson living in her street.
Ms Plibersek, who has young children, told Punch TV she would alter the family’s regime if she learned someone like Ferguson had moved into her community.
You can see what she called an old-fashioned take on the subject in the video of this week’s episode.

Paedophiles are never rehabilitated and are always a danger to kids.Sounds as if the public are now a danger to Ferguson and he’ll have to be locked up again for his own protection.Kids must come first. Read more »
Here’s the second instalment of Punch TV, where our panel - Dave Penberthy, Tory Maguire and Luke McIlveen - caught up with Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese.

Firstly can I begin by saying I enjoyed watching this on youtube - I didn’t realise it was on Sky Channel and certainly would’ve tuned in if I did. I am a long time reader (right from the start), and commented on the online Question Time before, but this commenting… Read more »

I thought youse all did very well. Well done! The only thing I thought that could’ve been improved was that Pembo overburdoned himself by trying to be both commentator and anchorman. This meant his questions were very long statements - you could sense the vision switcher getting antsy about when… Read more »
