And it further transpires that Julia Gillard's partner Tim Mathieson has for the last six months been employed selling properties in St. Kilda for the Ubertas Group, whose executive chairman is Albert Dadon, who is also chairman of the Australia Israel Cultural Exchange, which sponsored the trip to Israel last year by a delegation of Australian politicians, led by Gillard.

Quote:As such, he will have a significant public role to play in coming months and -- if things go well for Ms Gillard -- years.
This may well come at the expense of his current job, a full-time position he has held since January, selling apartments in a 50-storey complex in Melbourne's St Kilda Road for the developer Ubertas Group.
Ms Gillard's pecuniary interests register lists Mr Mathieson as a "property agent selling residential properties with the focus on international buyers".
Ubertas Group executive chairman Albert Dadon is also chairman of the Australia Israel Cultural Exchange.
Ms Gillard is understood to have travelled to Israel last year at this group's invitation.
Mr Mathieson is now expected to wind back his work with Ubertas to meet the demands of his new role as prime ministerial partner, a role for which he has been quietly preparing for some time.
