Hi Foxy,

It is so tiresome to see the Forums band of grumpy old men, banning on about the roll of women in modern Australian society. For these old farts, it barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. They believe if a woman has to be on the telly, forever neglecting her wifely duties, the roll best suited is some afternoon cooking show, with an easy to prepare scone recipe to please the hubby when he gets home from a hard day at the office, or demonstrating the latest 'Hoover' for the ladies at home. That's how they would like to view women on TV! A women as a serious journalist and reporter, NEVER!

Dear Paul,

Spot on.

Remember the flack Emma Alberici copped and even
our former PM Julia Gillard ?

AC,

Thanks for the laugh about John Howard's bowling; you probably saw the embarrassing ball again in the recent TV waffle about his 80th birthday. Poor old John: couldn't bowl to save his life, and one of two only Prime Ministers to be voted out of his seat. But, I still think he was a better PM than anything that came after him, including the current useless article.

"You mean by telling the females to adopt a "less agressive (sic)"
interview style? "

No I mean that, if the yoghurt thrower was set up by the LNP he wouldn't have missed.
