LYNDAL CURTIS: Julia Gillard, welcome to PM.
Julia Gillard, 欢迎来到PM栏目。
JULIA GILLARD: Thank you.
谢谢。
LYNDAL CURTIS: When you got the news that interest rates were on hold did you breathe a sigh of relief?
当你听到消息说利率保持不变，有没有觉得松了口气？
JULIA GILLARD: Well on behalf of Australian families and businesses that are doing it tough I was glad to see that interest rates were on hold. I understand that for them this takes a bit of pressure off. So for those families and those businesses clearly not having interest rates move today does take a bit of pressure off.
唔，代表澳洲家庭和生意，虽处于困难时期，我很高兴看到利率得到控制。我明白对他们而言，这意味着减压。所以对这些家庭和生意，显然没有加息在今天的确减少了些压力。
LYNDAL CURTIS: Some areas of the economy though are still struggling and your Government has said it wants to speed up the lower of the two-speed economy to drive economic growth. If economic growth does get faster that will eventually mean interest rate rises won't it?
有些地方，尤其在经济方面，虽然仍困难，你的政府声称要加快削弱这样的双速经济来发展经济。如果经济增长真的加快，那就最终意味着利率上涨，不是吗？
JULIA GILLARD: Well we've been investing in the skills and capacities of the Australian people. We've been investing in infrastructure.
这方面，我们一直在投入技术和能力，这来自于澳洲人民。我们一直在投资基础建设。
Let's remember when we came to Government we inherited inflation at a 16-year high. We set about investing in growing the capacity of the economy to take some pressure off. Then of course the global financial crisis changed our world and when that happened I believe we made the better economic choices. We made a choice to support jobs.
大家记住我们开始执政时，接手的通货膨胀是16年居高。 我们投资在经济能力增长上来减小压力。接着，当然全球金融危机改变了我们的世界，在那时，我相信我们做了更好的经济上的选择。我们做了抉择来支持就业。
And if we'd taken Mr Abbott's advice then we wouldn't have done that and we'd be in a recession now and more than 200,000 Australians extra would be out of work.
而假设我们接受了了Mr Abbott的建议，我们就不可能做到那一切，相反我们会身陷经济萧条，在现在也如此，超过20万额外的澳洲人将会失业。
So Lyndal what I would say is we had the better economic plan then and we've got the better economic plan for the future.
所以Lyndal，我要说的是我们有更好的经济计划，就在当时，而且我们已有了更好的经济计划，将有益于澳洲的未来。

TONY ABBOTT: You can't change the rules just because you're in trouble. Labor had the chance to have three debates at the start of the campaign. They repeatedly refused. And frankly things have moved on. The time for changing the rules has passed.
你不能改变规则仅仅因为你遇到麻烦。工党有过机会来展开三次辩论，就在竞选最开始时，但他们不断拒绝辩论。而事实上事情随着发展变化了，改变规则的时候已经过去了。
REPORTER 1: So you're changing your mind because you're in front now?
所以你现在主意变了因为你在前面领导了吗？
REPORTER 2: Are you dropping your request for two more debates? Because you did call for two more. Will you agree to have one at some point in the next three weeks?
你要放弃自己要求的后续两次辩论吗？因为你的确呼吁过再来两次辩论。你同意展开一次辩论，在接下来3周的某个时候举行么？
TONY ABBOTT: And subsequent to that the Prime Minister publicly refused. Now are you suggesting to me that when it comes from Julia no doesn't mean no? I mean perhaps, which Julia was talking to me?
而随后总理公开拒绝了。现在你是否在暗示我当Julia说不要时，意思不是不要？我的意思是，可能是，到底哪个Julia在和我说话？
But the truth is I can't be expected to know whether it's the real Julia or someone else who was talking. She said no repeatedly and when she said no I thought she meant no.
但事实是我无法知道那是否是真正的Julia还是别人在说话。她不断重复说不，当她说不时，我以为她指的就是不要。
MARK COLVIN: And Tony Abbott used variants of that "no means no, no doesn't mean no" line four times so it was not exactly accidentally. And it's excited some comment because it's usually used in another context.
Tony Abbott用了不同形式来表达"不就是不，不要不等于拒绝" ，用了四次，这并非完全偶然。 而这让一些评论变得有趣，因为这句话通常是用在另一个语境里。
LYNDAL CURTIS: Yes it's usually a message more associated with an anti-rape message, the no means no.
是的，这通常是一个信息更多是关于反对性侵犯的信息，不就是不！
Now Tony Abbott said that he, that's not what he intended, that he is not insensitive to women. He's a father of daughters.
现在Tony Abbott说他本意并非如此，他并非不注意女性的敏感，他是个父亲，也有女儿。
And certainly the Labor Party is playing very safe. They're not attacking Tony Abbott over it. As you heard Julia Gillard, Julia Gillard didn't criticise him over it. The criticism as you said has come from some commentators, some people's initial reaction to hearing what Tony Abbott said.
当然工党做法非常保险。他们没有就此针对Tony Abbott。正如Julia Gillard所说，她没有批评他，在这点上。这种批评就像你说的，来自一些评论家，一些人最初的反应，在听到Tony Abbott说的之后产生的。
