DEPUTY Prime Minister Julia Gillard's broad Aussie accent has baffled US
school children to the point of them asking her whether English is spoken
Down Under.
In Washington DC to discuss green jobs and education, Ms Gillard confessed
she had puzzled American youngsters after talking to them for a few minutes.
"I have visited two schools in Washington where the kids asked me, after
listening to me, whether or not we spoke English in Australia," she told
Macquarie Radio today.
"That Australian accent is foxing them a bit."
She was invited by Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida, to attend the
Excellence in Action Summit to discuss education reform including national
curriculum, teacher quality and transparency.
Ms Gillard is also meeting with senior Obama administration officials during
the trip.
