Gillard aide sacked after diary leak
A clash between protesters and Australian police that forced bodyguards to rush prime minister Julia Gillard out of an event appears to have been set off by information released by one of Ms Gillard's own aides.
The aide has been fired. Ms Gillard's office said that a member of her media unit told someone that opposition leader Tony Abbott would be at Thursday's event in Canberra, the capital.
