An example of when the “A” list should be given the “Big A” is this gem of an interview with the newly pre-selected Labor Candidate for Boothby, Nicole Cornes. When Mrs Cornes saw the photo of herself from the interview she said ” . . . first thing in the morning when you wake up, you think ‘oh god, I should have had my eyebrows waxed’! As my mum says, when you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves. Good to see Nicole’s got her priorities right too.
And I did notice that the press conference occurred straight outside a Beauty Salon, so perhaps it was a doorstop.
The Liberals aren’t taking anything for granted and are said to have already approached the Labor Party with the idea of a reality TV show involving Cornes and their rumoured star candidate for Griffith, Paris Hilton. To be a fusion of “The Biggest Loser” and “1 versus 100” the major stumbling block appears to be the time that it will take to process Ms Hilton’s refugee status, somewhere on an impecunious South Pacific Island, so that she can become an Australian citizen in time for the election. This has led to suggestions that the parties should buy into the Survivor franchise.
