"Should Magda though have gone after the Prime Minister's wife in the first place?"

No, probably not.
- But only because it was for a funeral, and criticism of ones attire at a funeral is certainly not in good taste.

But was she wrong?
- No, not really.
Was it funny?
- Yes, a little and that's because at first glance there is a resemblance to the type of attire worn in the show.

"So, should the family members of politicians be exempt from public criticism in light of the existing challenges for public communication? Our answer is “yes”. It is unfair and unethical to attack, humiliate or hurt a family member on account of their relationship with an elected representative."

HELL NO.

If you can't handle the criticism from the general public that you (as well as your family) are CERTAINLY GOING TO GET:
- Then don't run for office.

If you have a partner that doesn't want to ever be in the limelight
- Then don't run for office.

If you want to stand up as a representative of the community
- Then that doesn't mean ONLY KIND WORDS, it means criticism too.

Criticism whilst in public office SHOULD BE EXPECTED AT ALL TIMES

If you want a quiet peaceful humble life, then don't marry a person who has aspirations to become the Prime Minister.

A closer look shows the dress itself, it really isn't all that bad.

A look at the comments shows Magda wasn't the only one criticising.

One thing we can say about Magda.
She's probably the least attractive woman in the country before Gina Rhinehart, but at least she can take a joke.
How many harsh comments do you think Magda faced in her younger days?
She didn't curl up into the fetal position and snowflake out.
- She can take it, she's surely got thicker skin than others

Dear AC,

I've read Magda's biography and she did have
difficulties with bullying and
yes she did manage to deal with it eventually.
I admire her as an actress and entertainer
but I still feel that she should not contribute
to poking fun at the PM's wife. It was unnecessary
and uncalled for. In other words - a cheap shot!
