Readers will know that I am a Gillard fan. What I am not a fan of are the double standards the media consistently apply to women politicians (I wrote my thesis on it). I had hoped - obviously naively - that the media's preoccupation with the clothes, the hairstyles and the the personal lives of women politicians would abate somewhat now that we have a woman PM. But no. The Australian news media still feels it is necessary to create a total non-story. About Julia. And about her dire need for a makeover. WTF? If it were Howard, or Rudd, who'd been over to Japan, bet your arse we wouldn't be getting media articles about what they wore when they were there. The articles might actually be about the, you know, work they were doing whilst there. Just saying.
