Gillard goes to Rooty Hill with BYO friends Farcical. Julia Gillard moves to Rooty Hill, allegedly to meet the locals. Instead: On Monday night, Sky presenter Paul Murray captured a fleeting 23 seconds of footage on his mobile phone of Gillard and her entourage speed-walking through the RSL's Zest Wok n" Grill and disappearing into a private dining room. Murray pointed out the prime minister had bypassed the opportunity to mingle with a couple of dozen locals dining in the bistro. Instead she chose a closed-door private dining room with a group of women he said looked just like her and were wearing the same glasses. He wasn't far wrong. The five women handpicked by Gillard to feast on "vegetable tarte tatin" and Alaskan king crab were "mummy bloggers" who had previously dined with the PM at Kirribilli house in December, and none of whom appears to live anywhere near Rooty Hill. Gillard wants to win the votes of people she's too scared to meet. Woogsworld, one of Gillard's mummyblogger guests, dares what Gillard doesn't and ducks out of their dinner to see what the cute locals eat out West: But she quickly scoots back to dine in Gillard's hidey-hole: Says it all about Gillard's visit, really.
