Australia

I dont care if she dresses in a sack. Just because she's a politician it does not give the right for anyone (especially Germaine Greer) to publicly demeen her.

There have been male politicians in the past who have had bad builds and have dressed below standard but have never had the criticism that Julia Gillard has received. My argument is, is that Greer didn't only mock Gillard for her clothing but she made a joke of her figure. God help any female in the future who may want to get into politics and maybe want to be prime minister. Hopefully she will have a perfect figure, look very attractive and dress to perfection. With a bit of luck this ficticious person might also have a brain.

I have always been an admirer of Helen Clark. Shame she doesn't meet everybody's standards in looks and dress.
