Sandwich thrown at Gillard during school visit - again

Julia Gillard has had another sandwich thrown at her during a school visit.

A salami sandwich was lobbed at the prime minister as she greeted school children at Lyneham High School in Canberra on Thursday.

Ms Gillard was using the visit to announce the ACT had signed up to the federal government's national schools funding reforms.

Asked if she was disappointed it had happened again, Ms Gillard joked the thrower "must have thought I was hungry".

In May, a Vegemite sandwich was thrown at Ms Gillard while she was visiting Marsden State High School, south of Brisbane.

Kyle Thomson, 16, was among a group of teenagers who jeered at Ms Gillard on the visit and was accused of throwing the sandwich.

He was suspended from school for 15 days despite denying he was responsible.
