PM Woos Alessandro Del Piero with gushing letter

Thanks Jools (our esteemed Prime minister, Julia Gillard). It turns out that it wasn’t the sun, surf, and Ivy Sundays that lured D-LP (our esteemed Sydney FC signing Alessandro Del Piero), the Juventus and Italian legend to the harbour city but some fanmail from our PM. It’s yet to be determined whether the move will attract extra votes but I’m sure Sydney FC will at least sort her out with season tickets.

I know the Football community and indeed all Australians would join me in extending the warmest welcome to Mr Del Piero to Australia.
Football in Australia continues to go from strength to strength, and I know Mr Del Piero would inspire an entire generation of young Australians to get involved in the game at a critical time in its growth.

I hope Mr Del Piero is able to give favourable consideration to joining the game here and I hope your discussions reach a fruitful outcome with him.

Hugs and kisses, Julia

Unfortunately for Prime Minister’s past, not all of their forays into the world of sports appreciation have been as smooth as Julia’s letter.
