From the Sydney Morning Herald:

"There are some policy places even Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd won't go. One is whether his deputy owns a skirt. This "vital" election issue was raised by Bob, a farmer and talkback caller who preceded Mr Rudd in a long interview on the John Laws program on Southern Cross radio today. Bob, a professed Liberal voter, said Julia Gillard was a communist, claiming he read that in the rural newspaper The Land, and queried whether she actually owned a skirt".

But Mr Rudd politely declined when it was suggested he would ask Ms Gillard whether she did in fact own a skirt.

"There are certain questions which blokes don't sort of ask. I kind of draw the line at those sort of things," he said. "What I have learned from my own wife and my own daughter, there are certain things you just don't get into and ladies' fashion is one of them." "I think it is called the better part of courage".

Sensible chap. However, here is the evidence that Gillard has owned, or perhaps borrowed, at least one skirt:
