3. Sorry, but Germaine hit the nail on the head.

She did not criticise Julia Gillard's character or morals in any way, unlike Kyle Sandilands with the journalist. But she did point out that Julia does herself no favours with her appalling dress sense; nor does she have enough nous to ask advice from someone with a better eye than she has. She has a very awkward figure, and needs to choose far more carefully if she doesn't want to be a walking cartoon.

It is perfectly true that her clothes don't fit her, and that's something I can't understand. She's very well paid, and it wouldn't take much to simply buy slightly more upmarket, so she would end up with well-cut, well-fitting clothes that wouldn't arouse a lot of adverse comment. She should also definitely not wear nipped-in waists with flares over her hips that simply draw attention to her sizeable bum (which looks even worse because her posture is so poor). And to wear exactly the same design of jacket and blouse every day is pathetic - how much imagination does it take to vary your style occasionally?

Nobody's asking her to be a fashion-plate, but it would be an improvementif she didn't look as though she's bought a job lot from Target. She's not being criticised just because she's a woman, and she can't help it if she has no natural sense of taste or style, but she could take some much-needed advice from those whose job it is to put clothes together in a way that's pleasing to the eye.
