The student who allegedly threw a half of a Vegemite sandwich at PM Julia Gillard the other day has been suspended from school for 15 days. As this interview with the student will reveal, however, not only could more than one student have been involved in the incident, more than one sandwich could have been airborne, too.

Julia takes a tumble. Or, as the Aussies say, she fully “stacked it.” Australian PM Julia Gillard and her shoe made headlines yet again when she tripped and fell near the Gandhi Memorial in New Delhi the other day.
