Abstract

...Was the treatment of Gillard on ‘Q&A’ typical, or an anomaly that was noticed and criticised?  If it was criticised, was it just the lefty green-tinged liberals (in whose number I’d include myself), or was there wider disquiet?  Or was there nothing – was this normal, okay, acceptable and accepted?  Have I overstated and over-interpreted a small and insignificant episode, or was this programme as darkly revealing of one part of Australian political culture as it seemed to me at the time?
