In a statement from Gillard's office it read that, "Australian prime ministers have not met the Dalai Lama on every occasion he has visited Australia" and that "Given the frequency of his travel to Australia, the government believes the current arrangements are appropriate". Instead, according to news media The Age, the Prime Minister's Office is believed to have proposed His Holliness the Dalai Lama meet privately with the federal Minister for Human Services, Tanya Plibersek, who is not in cabinet.

Bob Brown", since the Greens Party is a crucial supporter of Gillard's government. Commenting on this, Australian National University political scientist Brett Bowden has said that Gillard has been "trying get arms lengths from the Greens" by going against Greens leader Sen.
