I dont get into politics, but

I just caught the tail end of an A Current Affair's story on Therese Rein which seemed to have "fashion experts" discussing how the PM's wife could improve her style.... And then gaped with surprise when Tracy Grimshaw said EXACTLY what I (and hopefully every other normal person on earth) was thinking- that Therese Rein has raised 3 kids, built her own multi million dollar business and supported her husband in becoming our PM- dont they have anything better to discuss than her CLOTHES? I am all about fashion, but honestly- Therese clearly has better things to do with her time than worry about whether she is dressed appropriately to be the PM's wife. And I appreciate that she has her own life, her own business, and isnt just a little wifey that wears twin sets and modest hemlines while she smiles beside her husband. It makes me feel that we may be in good hands with ol' Kevin, who clearly loves and supports his wife in whatever she wants to do, and respects strong women with brains and money of their own.
