Ian Maurice, i agree with the solicitor caller on Saturday mornings program re the " SLUSH FUND", plus other criminal activities that our PM, was involved in. I dont believe these events no matter how odious should be swept under the carpet & dismissed. We all know our PM is an habitual liar & a crim to boot yet I am appalled by the confounding apathy displayed by some of the media.

Not a good idea JamesP.
Julia would cause it to overload and burn it out in the first sentence that spewed from her mouth.

James P, one glaring mistake in your post, Tony doesn't speak.

Julia Gillard should be asked in Parliament today by Tony Abbott to sit a Polygraph Test on National TV with Steve Van Aperen, to clear the doubt in the Voters minds

Well said Dr Craig but we do not trust other men and women of science who lie and decieve for a living so excuse us. However when it comes to climate change/the rise of C02 emmisions due to anthropagenic reasons/ that we will live for ever in a drought/ that sea levels are rising and pacific nations will sink/ blah blah blah blah. But science can tell us if someone is lying by using polygraph invented in 1921 of which the new but soon to be replaced finaly by fMRI which is claimed to be more than 20% more correct than polygraphs which means the polygraph was 20% wrong but USA government on the other hand has research that has shown that the figure of being wrong is 50% or more which is the case, just like a each way bet. This psuedo science unpins their justice system how many people have been executed because of this. The real joke is that the CIA and FBI know all of this but insist on using the evidence of the Polygraph in thier hiring then they take the new agents next door and train them how to beat them, go figure that is intelligence for you particularly when other nations do not use them so much for science my good doctor good on you that you once remembered enough to pass and examination and got a degree that cost a lot of money.

A lot of this information is factually incorrect!
There is no chemical that makes our nose itchy. It is the flooding (with excess blood)of the erectile tissues within the nasal cavity that makes us (sometimes have an itchy nose - when we are stressed- not only when we lie. Also the information about micro expressions is incorrect - there are only 7 universal emotions that relate to micro expressions these are: Sadness, Happiness, Anger, Disgust, Suprise, Fear and Contempt. As this and other information in this interview is inaccurate, please use caution before you act on this type of information. You could accuse an innocent of lying.
