Pollies wives/partners/husbands are off limits, and this thread should be deleted accordingly. No ifs or buts.
You may have a point should there be an attack on a wife or husband's character or personal appearance (eg Kevin Rudd's wife's terrible dress sense and bogan-like appearance or John Howard's wife looking like a dinner lady).
However I tend to think on this occasion there is more than enough mileage in the suspicion that the relationship Gillard has with her partner is not what it would seem.
It goes more to the heart of what sort of person is leading our country.
We have a woman who has never married, nor had children, for whatever reason.
Now there is a need to bring out a man to marry (a hairdresser
) and you have to wonder why....
It goes to the heart of the character. If she is prepared to do or say anything for power (which she has shown to have done anyway) - it is a concern if there is a need to promote a family image to grab votes of middle Australians.
We shouldn't be attacking partners for appearance I agree, but this view on this thread is not without merit.
Pollies other halves are never fair game, ever, unless they do something on a offical visit that causes massive controversary.
They are off limits mate, and to bring her home life up is pathetic. She gives you enough ammo without goinh after her home life. I couldnt give two runs if she made him dress in a fat cat suit and herself in a big bird one while she masterbated herself while spanking him with wet celery screaming "your such a dirty pussy".
Off limits, always.
