A TELEVISION cameraman was struck by a car in Julia Gillard's convoy as they drove to a retirement village in Adelaide to visit her parents last night.

A Nine Network cameraman suffered injuries to his right leg when the second vehicle in the convoy, driven by officers from the Australian Federal Police, hit him about 9pm.

Ms Gillard was inside the first vehicle as it left the Commonwealth Bank building on King William St, Adelaide, after a series of meetings during the day, and was en route to the Pasadena retirement village.

I would say the dumb cameraman was too close and got hit.

Camera people think this world is for them to make a scoop and others have to watch out for them.

They get in the way and then cry when they get injured.
