From this morning's SMH, courtesy of AAP wire services, reporting an appearance of the Qeensland Premier, who was giving evidence in a corruption trial of a former government minister:
Ms Bligh, who came to court dressed in a black pinstripe suit with white trim and pearl jewellery, told the court Nuttall never declared any conflict of interest he had with Mr Talbot or Mr Shand, nor did he declare the receipt of any money.
In another story, it was reported that Mick Keelty's mob has finished interviewing the Federal Opposition leader about the fake email. But bizzarely that report didn't mention what Mr Turnbull wore to this important interview. Grey Armani suit perhaps? Fine white cotton shirt? Silk tie - what colour, I wonder? Grey? Blue? Red? But I think we can be fairly sure he wasn't wearing pearls.
Rosarie
At least they didn't say she was a mother (grandmother) of 7 or whatever. How many times are prominent women defined by their reproductive status compared to men? (Rhetorical question:) - ironic what, given my Rav name - I plead lack of prominence!!!

Good one, M-H. With this particular comparison, I would also be reasonably sure that Malcolm Turnbull gave at least as much consideration to what he was wearing as Anna Bligh did.

If he was wearing pearls they would have been sure to mention it. :-)

Oh Yes and what about the "magazine" bit of last Sunday's - Sun Herald. One of the big articles was interviews with 3 "prominent" men all about what they looked for in a wife.
The other big article was on the new First Ladies - seemed mostly to be about how stylish Michelle Obama is. Yes, she is but she is many other things as well ...
Arrrrgh
