I was watching an old re- run of a Julia Gillard interview, must of been at least 5yrs ago, what struck me the most was her looks, she has either had surgery on her nose & jaw line or it's something else, she looked very different compared to now. The infighting between factions that caused the oust of Kevin Rudd would, stating the obvious, been probably one neg. power play against the other, (or did he start developing a conscience?) it would be interesting to know what really happened, he spoke fluent Manderin & was obviously groomed for the job of diplomatic relations between Oz & the Chinese. Was he a threat to some agenda? As far as I know, the PM's that we have had have mostly been Fabians though Whitlam seemed slightly different, apart from re-evaluing the dollar so that Australia would of been the most prosperous country in the world, have read that one of the resons he was undignifingly dismissed, with the blessings of the Queen involved, was because he wasn't happy with the goings on at Pine Gap & was asking too many questions expected from a puppet. |

Am hoping Ai Weiwei is released & free to be himself soon without oppression; great to see public spontanaity & creative support is still around... http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/uk_national_news/9003252.Woman_bares_all_for_detained_artist/?ref=rss A yoga teacher gave visitors at one of London's best-known art galleries a naked surprise as she dropped her clothes in support of a detained Chinese artist. Charlotte Eaton, 32, decided to walk naked across missing artist Ai Weiwei's "landscape of sunflower seeds" after being inspired by his work when she first visited the exhibition on Wednesday. Ms Eaton, from north-west London, threw caution to the wind as she undressed at Ai's Sunflower Seeds exhibition at London's Tate Modern on Monday afternoon. Ai, an internationally famed avant-garde artist, who is also an outspoken critic of the Chinese government, was last seen in police custody in early April. The Chinese government confirmed that it had detained Ai and was investigating him for economic crimes. After being captivated by Ai's exhibition, Ms Eaton emailed Tate Modern to request the opportunity to be photographed naked among the seeds as a way of reflecting the "playfulness" of the artwork and to give the silenced artist a voice, she said. Ms Eaton, a laughter yoga teacher who runs her own business, had painted a sunflower and the words 'thank you Ai Weiwei' and 'freedom' on her body. "I didn't want to be removed by security so didn't stay long. I heard someone shout 'bravo', which was very nice," she said. She said her show of support was witnessed by around 40 bystanders who were visiting the exhibition. She said that she was watched by Tate Modern staff members and security but no-one stopped her. "No action was taken against me by security guards, and a member of the Tate's press smiled at me as I winked at her and left." Edited by allegiance to truth, May 3 2011, 03:48 AM.
