As if knifing Julia Gillard and ending her political career wasn't utu enough, Kevin Rudd has twisted the knife a little bit further; Newstalk ZB reports:
That toy kangaroo being knitted by Julia Gillard will no longer be part of Australia's official gift to the royal baby.
Kevin Rudd's put a stop to that.
He's considering something a little more precious and what he calls uniquely Australian - an opal-encrusted rattle.
This is an act of unspeakable cruelty by Kevin Rudd. He should be ashamed of himself. And why would a Royal baby want opals, when it will one day have the Crown Jewels?Kevin Rudd sent Julia Gillard into early retirement. The least he can now do is let her stick to her knitting!
Rod Emmerson has obviously been reading the Australian Women's Weekly:
This is great stuff from our favourite cartoonist, and we can't help but wonder if it is prophetic, given the fate that befell Julia Gillard just 36 hours ago. And what is Mr Shearer knitting; a stab-proof vest, made of steel wool?
Well done Rod Emmerson!
Julia Gillard is copping all sorts of flak for this staged photo of her apparently knitting a toy kangaroo for the royal baby. Headlines such as "Spins and Needles", "PM tries to knit herself out of poll doldrums" and "Julia Gillard in "absurd" Royal Baby knitting photo" grace cyberspace.Here's the photo in question and it's just begging for a caption. You should know the rules by now; keep 'em short, humourous and pithy, and don't get unnecessarily personal. Beyond that, you're limited only by your own imagination.
We'll get the ball (of wool) rolling:
Can you let Wills and Kate know that I'll be able to knit full-time for them after September
The floor is yours...
