Whatever has happened to Bill Leak? He's lost the plot on the IR issue-- and consistently.

Bill Leak
Is he trying to express the sentiments of a blokey patriarchal culture? One that is in favour of the stay-at-home woman. I see that the Coalition's strident hitters are trying to run the line that Rudd is attacking stay-at-home mothers and wives!
Surely, Therese Rain would support Kevin Rudd not John Howard. There were no AWA 's used by her companies, the underpayments appear a genuine oversight carried over from the previous owners that, most importantly, were corrected by Ms Rein when they were discovered. And this happened long before the issue hit the national headlines. So why would she support Howard and Costello in the boxing match?
We have stepped into the realm of the imagination or the conservative political unconscious.
Leak is representing strong, independent professional woman as bossy and aggressive. That's the blokey culture bit. Presumably, the blokes have spent so much time secretly surfing the net for porn at night that they need a women to sort the AWA thingy out for them.

This is Hilarious!
It is funny from many different angles. One being that it wrong. The confused look on everybodies face! Even the dog hates her leg!
Give the people what they yell for and they will cheer and yell your name. Chaos!
