RAW VISION: Prime Minister Julia Gillard again addresses her role in setting up an alleged union slush fund 17 years ago.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has hit back at union "bagman" Ralph Blewitt over his claims she has questions to answer over the AWU affair, saying that people could work out whether they believed her or a self-confessed fraudster described by associates as a ''sexist pig'', ''imbecile'' and ''crook''.

Its going to come down to Mr Blewitts word against mine, Ms Gillard said, before noting that Mr Blewitt had admitted he had been involved in fraud, used prostitutes in Asia, sought immunity from prosecution and had been described as a sexist pig and an imbecile.

You can work out who you believe, she said.

In her second marathon press conference on the AWU affair, Ms Gillard on Monday further addressed questions about the events of 17 years ago when she worked as an industrial lawyer at Slater & Gordon in Melbourne - once more again stressing she had done nothing wrong.

Just before question time, the Prime Minister said that she did not report fraud carried out by her then boyfriend Bruce Wilson to the police or the union in 1995 because she did not know about it.
