Of late I have been struck by the media portrayal of Julia Gillard in particular but also its thirst for the sensational! If its not bad enough having Andrew Bolt taking over the pages of the The Age it was last night on 7.30 Alan Jones being interviewed. Needless to say I turned off just as I have turned of RN Breakfast with Kelly and Grattan pontificating on whatever seems to be a way of pricking the Government bubble with flim-flam commentary that would make Tweedle Dum and Dee look insightful!
Today The Age's report on the Queen's welcome by the PM takes the proverbial cake...all of it! The Age reported that "William Hanson, a British etiquette and protocol expert, told radio 3AW (Sic Fairfax) that Ms Gillard should have curtsied and worn a hat as a sign of respect for the Queen. Not doing so was "churlish", he said. "She is your Prime Minister, she is representing the people but ... the Queen tops her, the Queen is the top of the tree, so as a sign of respect, whatever her opinion on the monarchy is, she should have curtsied," Mr Hanson said.
