I kid you not, these two lovely full page photos, appeared not in some political left wing magazine but in the usually mild pages of the Australian Women's Weekly.

Pretty scary looking candidates if thats what they are. I was standing at Coles' checkout waiting while the 2 tellers who occupied 2 of the 12 checkouts checked the multitudes through.

By the time I got served I was well into the article and got sucked into to buying the magazine. Its a bit different from the magazine my mother used to read which had pretty pictures of the young Queen and ladies looking stately in their stately homes.

I wonder what they were trying to make us think by these shots, it could have been no accident when no doubt they have hundreds to choose from.
