Sydney, Sept. 26 : Acting Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has admitted she smoked dope while in university, but adds that she didn''t like it.

"At university, tried it, didn''t like it," she said on the Fairfax Radio Network.

"I think probably many Australian adults would be able to make the same statement so I don''t think it matters one way or the other," she added.

Federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull has also admitted that he smoked marijuana in the past.

Reacting to Turnbull’s revelation, Gillard said she did not think it mattered that he had confessed to smoking dope in the past.
