@suz Worst PM ! I dont think so . That title surely belongs to Kevin Rudd. Who can forget how many people died and suffered as a result of his softening of our strong border policies necessitating the opening of detention centres in Nauru etc and basically left a huge mess for the LNP to have to clean up and cost $Miilions in the process. I am amazed to this day that Rudd has never been held to account for this . No ! Morrisson was not our best PM ! but I don't think he deserves to be labelled as the worst
@simple simon Well that may be the case but if she hadn't been the wife of the POTUS and all the attention that comes with that would she have sold more than a few dozen copies. Being BFF s with Ellen before she went sour also didnt hurt sales of the book.
Long suffering wives in the Lodge Really!!. Most if not all would have known what they were signing up for looong before they were made PM. What about those wives or partners who actively enjoyed the limelight and the attention it brings, some of whom who have used such attention to launch media careers book deals, etc in the misguided belief that a vote for their husband means the public is interested in what they have to say ie: Michelle Obama.
All that fame all that money does come at a price! There are Literally thousands of great actors who don't get the recognition or the big $$$ or the opportunity like some of these self entitled Hollywood elites! This whinge fest seems to be a bit of a theme amongst some well known female actors. Of course the lead actor in Spiderman is paid more than the supporting actor who plays his love interest and I'm sure Kirsten got paid more than her male love interest in Bring It On because she was the main character . Thats the way it works! And if Kirsten had been in the sequel to Bring It On ( based on her great performance and popularity in the first movie ) then I'm sure that would have been a box office smash too and her pay would have doubled or tripled based in large part of her ability to get " Bums on seats". This is what people forget when they complain about pay disparity in Hollywood. Meryl Streep has complained of this for over 30 years now but seriously put anyone other than Arnold Scharznegger in a Terminator movie and it will Tank! Meryl's a 10 times better actor than Arnie but its less about acting skill and more about crowd appeal and box office takings!. I do like Kirsten but I really think she should be grateful for the opportunities she's had that very few ever experience.
