Pretty shocking stuff from the otherside of the world. Firstly the Australian Prime Minster's is insulted physically at a fund raiser, and then a "shock jock" questions her about her partner's sexuality.

Shameful. Can you imagine Jeremy Vine asking David Cameron the same question about his wife?

You'll no doubt remember,that just a few years ago, Cameron was asked by Jonathan Ross if he'd masturbated to images of Margaret Thatcher as a teenager.

Personally, I thought that brought British TV interviewing of politcians to a new low-point.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Very true, forgot that. Though Dangerous Dave was not, as yet PM.

Aussie politics is fairly awful anyway. A lot of it involves personal insults between Julia gillard and her counterpart and doesn't develop much further than that. She is very very unpopular in aus, mainly because she ousted A man who, at least with the public was fairly popular although from what I gather wasn't within his own party. Even worse with the general election coming up Kevin Rudd gets mentioned every month or so ins leadership battle just 4 months before the election and in my opinion doesn't do enough to stop the rumours in the lead up to any vote of no confidence before denying it at theist minute after all the damage is done.

But Jonathon Woss is a pwat so its what you would expect from him.

True but he was hosting one of the most popular programmes on TV at the time,which is presumably why DC wanted to be on it.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Well she won't be PM anymore, ousted by Rudd in a leadership battle. You flamin' galaah bouncer!

I have a few friends who live in ex Brit Africa countries and they are wanting the Aussies to get a pasting in the Ashes.
My question is, have they (Aussies) alienated lots of other places over the last few decades when they were winning?

Everyone likes to see a dominant nation have a decline, other than maybe Brasil
