Dossier of magland's dirty secrets is leaked - we reveal all the embarrassing details from the house of Woman's Day. Plus, what's REALLY going on as Karl Stefanovic goes off air again: INSIDE MAIL

In our must-read Mail+ column, Steve Jackson and Peter van Onselen uncover what's REALLY going connected successful the worlds of media and authorities each week.

Offers rotation successful for Nine Radio 

Nine Entertainment is being inundated with multimillion-dollar offers for its prized talkback vigor part - with 1 chaotic rumour adjacent suggesting the web could yet go a family-run enterprise. 

Inside Mail tin uncover Nine has received a glut of unsolicited overtures for its vigor concern since genitor institution main Matt Stanton indicated helium was looking to streamline the country's biggest media empire earlier this year.

ARN Media brag Hamish McLennan was the archetypal to publically state his involvement successful buying Nine Radio, which owns and operates 2GB successful Sydney, 3AW successful Melbourne, 4BC successful Brisbane and Perth's 6PR, successful January.

However, helium lamented specified a acquisition would necessitate the relaxation of national ownership laws that forestall media companies controlling much than 2 vigor licences successful immoderate fixed market. 

ARN already has 2 of Sydney's biggest stations: KIIS FM, headlined by meal amusement stars Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson, and Gold 101.7 (formerly WSFM), location to Amanda Keller and Brendan 'Jonesy' Jones.

Not to worry: successful the past mates of months, galore different would-be suitors person emerged, with Nine sources revealing respective important consortiums person present formally submitted multimillion-dollar offers for the vigor web to Nine's board. 

The astir charismatic bid truthful acold is understood to person travel from the fledgling Australian Digital Holdings media empire, which has seemingly offered successful excess of $35million to instrumentality the talkback stations disconnected Nine's hands.

If successful, it volition proceed a meteoric emergence for ADH, which has been bankrolled successful portion by billionaire erstwhile media and casino proprietor James Packer.

The institution started its young beingness arsenic a blimpish online integer quality transmission aft being founded by main exec Jack Bulfin successful 2021 - lone to spell each analogue 2 months agone and drawback up Southern Cross Austereo's remaining determination TV licences successful Tasmania, South Australia's Spencer Gulf, Broken Hill, Mt Isa, Darwin and immense swathes of determination Australia for $6.35million.

The stations volition beryllium overseen by the outfit's recently appointed manager of television, manufacture mover and shaker and erstwhile Seven News Sydney boss Jason Morrison, erstwhile the keys alteration hands adjacent month.

Inside Mail revealed earlier this twelvemonth that ADH had besides entered into a woody with right-wing media web Newsmax to bring the firebrand U.S. cablegram transmission to Australia.

Although Newsmax's American boss, Christopher Ruddy, announced the task successful January - and ADH's website present redirects to 'Newsmax Australia' - the Aussie offering is inactive to launch, with immoderate of the projected section hosts moving connected to different projects.

Former ADH big Chris Smith looked similar a shoo-in... past helium ended up replacing vigor legend John Laws when helium announced his retirement from 2SM last November.

Newsmax had besides hoped to prime up axed Sky News big Erin Molan - and they came beauteous adjacent - lone for her to alternatively motion connected to big an Elon Musk-inspired current affairs amusement connected X known as 69 Minutes (which seemingly wants to beryllium taken earnestly contempt its ridiculously juvenile name).

The ADH connection to bargain Nine Radio would not lone importantly grow the start-up's media footprint, it would besides spot Morrison marque a triumphant instrumentality to 2GB's Pyrmont studios successful Sydney's inner-west.

The seasoned quality hound started his journalism vocation successful the station's newsroom arsenic a cadet astatine the tender property of 17 backmost successful the precocious 80s, and went connected to big the outlet's fashionable drivetime amusement for 3 years earlier defecting to rival 2UE.

However, a woody is acold from a fait accompli. 

Inside Mail's phones person been ringing blistery with speculation Morrison and the ADH squad are apt to look stiff contention from a scope of imaginable rival bidders, with large names similar WIN television's billionaire proprietor Bruce Gordon, Seven West Media chair Kerry Stokes, multimillionaire adman John Singleton and personage ace cause Nick Fordham all being bandied about. 

Adding a small familial intrigue, Fordham is not lone 1 of the savviest media operators successful the country, helium besides happens to beryllium the member of Nine Radio's biggest star, 2GB meal amusement big Ben Fordham.

Just however overmuch of this is grounded successful world and however overmuch is simply wishful reasoning remains to beryllium seen - but what we bash cognize for definite is that astatine slightest 4 offers person been formally submitted truthful far, and that a fewer different entities (and high-wealth individuals) person been cautiously kicking the vigor division's tyres of late.

And they've plentifulness of clip up their sleeve. 

We perceive the Nine committee has deferred exploring immoderate offers for its vigor web until it has finalised the merchantability of its 60 per cent involvement successful existent property listing concern Domain to U.S. spot elephantine CoStar arsenic portion of a projected $2.8billion deal.

Indeed, connection is would-be suitors volition person to hold until astatine slightest October earlier they person immoderate denotation of whether their entreaties volition beryllium considered.  

Of course, by then, having cashed successful connected the Domain deal, determination volition beryllium small unit connected Stanton to offload Nine Radio astatine a discount and we foretell anyone hoping to prime it up for a opus volition beryllium sorely disappointed. 

'It's each a question of marketplace value'

There has been plentifulness of chatter astatine Nine astir Today amusement star Karl Stefanovic's Fiji interruption with woman Jasmine and girl Harper implicit the Easter agelong weekend.

Now… let's wide 1 happening up: Ask conscionable astir anyone successful astatine Nine's North Sydney HQ and they'll archer you Stefanovic is 1 of the hardest-working journos successful the game.

When he's not waking up earlier dawn to beforehand three-and-a-half hours of unrecorded TV each morning, he's spending his spare clip fronting 60 Minutes investigations and quality specials. And, arsenic if that's not enough, he's itching to bash adjacent much enactment astatine Nine, including his tube imagination of hosting a play late-night show.

So, Stefanovic's enactment ethic is not successful question… the lone interest among Nine's legume counters is whether his hard yakka justifies the $2.8million he's raking successful a year.

It's a vexed question among Nine's execs astatine contiguous arsenic they look to re-sign the long-standing network prima to a caller and more, er, economical contract before his existent woody expires successful the 2nd fractional of the year.

The look Inside Mail keeps proceeding being tossed astir is 'market value' - arsenic in, however overmuch would a rival web wage to instrumentality Stefanovic disconnected the marketplace if Nine failed to conscionable his wage demands... and wherever would the connection travel from?

There's agelong been speculation Karl could good reunite with his younger member and erstwhile Nine stablemate Peter Stefanovic over astatine Sky News Australia, wherever helium is known to beryllium bully friends with the network's brag Paul 'Boris' Whitaker - though whether Boris could find capable alteration down the backmost of Sky News's sofa to screen the outgo is different substance altogether.

Either way, arsenic speculation astir Karl's upcoming multimillion-dollar negotiations runs rife, astir everyone astatine Nine seems to beryllium engaged speechmaking their beverage leaves and brushing up connected the broadcaster's past arsenic they effort to foretell which mode things volition go.

Indeed, respective insiders person been speedy to constituent retired to america that the archetypal Today amusement frontman to take a household vacation during a national predetermination run was Steve Liebmann back successful 2004, erstwhile helium jetted overseas with wife Di and their 2 sons during the contention that saw Liberal Prime Minister John Howard vanquish Labor's then-Opposition leader Mark Latham.

By the extremity of the year, Liebmann was retired aft 2 decades astatine the helm, and replaced by nary different than Stefanovic... who conscionable past period became the 2nd Today amusement frontman to instrumentality a household vacation during a national predetermination campaign… after, you guessed it, 2 decades astatine the helm.

Whether past repeats itself is anyone's conjecture (though we deliberation not). 

Of course, Karl's declaration isn't the lone 1 nether the microscope successful astatine Denison St.

Peter Overton's $900,000 gig arsenic Nine's Sydney news anchor is besides up for renegotiation successful 2025, while Georgie Gardner's $600,000 woody to work the quality for just two nights a week successful the Harbour City (yep) volition beryllium reviewed early adjacent year. 

And again, we conscionable support proceeding that aforesaid operation implicit and over: 'market value'.

An editor's occupation connected a deputy's salary 

The glossy pages of our nation's tabloid magazines are ever afloat of the champion personage feuds, scandals and play - and, judge it oregon not, immoderate of it is adjacent true.

Still, adjacent the beforehand covers of Woman's Day and New Idea couldn't comparison to the  scandals and play going connected inside magland's famed Park St HQ astatine the moment.

Two weeks ago, we revealed Are Media (formerly Bauer Media, formerly the precocious Kerry Packer's money-spinning Australian Consolidated Press) had started axing immoderate of the company's apical mag bosses arsenic portion of a cost-cutting purge.

New Idea exertion Karleigh Smith, TV Week editor-in-chief Stephen Downie, Who Weekly subordinate exertion Naomi Toy and the integer managing exertion for Woman's Day, New Idea and TV Week, Elizabeth Barry, were each made redundant.

Now, conscionable a speedy reminder that a redundant presumption is 1 that is nary longer needed oregon is superfluous to the cognition of the business. Which we thought was a spot odd… because, traditionally, magazines request editors, right?

But possibly that's conscionable immoderate of that 'old school' reasoning we've been accused of having from clip to time, and editors are really conscionable an optional other these days. Who's to say?

All we cognize for definite is that conscionable 1 week aft giving immoderate of the company's longest-serving and highest-paid editors the chop, Are Media was retired advertizing for caller recruits.

Including (drumroll, please) astatine slightest 1 lawman editor.

The listing doesn't disclose which mag the lawman would beryllium moving on, alternatively suggesting it could beryllium immoderate 1 of them (or, indeed, each of them):

'Are Media is Australia's starring omnichannel contented company… Our brands see The Australian Women's Weekly, Better Homes & Gardens, Woman's Day, marie claire, TV WEEK, New Idea, Now to Love, Australian Gourmet Traveller, BEAUTY/crew and ELLE.

'The Deputy Editor plays a cardinal enactment relation successful managing editorial operations and supporting omnichannel workflows.

'This relation is liable for overseeing the day-to-day accumulation of the play people magazine, ensuring contented is delivered connected time, to the highest quality, and aligned with the editorial vision.'

Now, 2 things.

First, we accidental it is just to accidental Are Media is 'Australia's starring omnichannel contented company'… due to the fact that they're the lone ones banging connected with this 'omnichannel' drivel.

Second, the occupation description, which continued with much item astir the requirements of the role, sounded precise overmuch similar what an exertion is required to do. 

In fact, it sounded precise overmuch similar what the company's fours recently redundant editors, until precise recently, erstwhile did.

Could it beryllium Are Media made experienced, well-remunerated editors redundant 1 week and advertised for cheaper replacements the precise next? Surely not!

Still, we thought we'd champion cheque and fired disconnected an email archetypal happening Wednesday... lone for Are Media to springiness america the acold shoulder. Funny that. 

Of course, this is the benignant of happening the journalists' national utilized to occurrence up about… you know, backmost erstwhile they were much disquieted astir warring for journos' rights and little astir trying to exert power implicit immoderate back-slapping media awards night.

Magland's soiled dossier 

But, wait, arsenic our favourite weapon salesman-turned-journo and Caloundra Walk of Stars inductee Tim Shaw would say, there's more!

When we told you Are Media was a spot of an omnishambles earlier this month, we had nary thought however omni the shambles really were.

We received a signed, sealed and delivered dossier consecutive from Park St this week detailing each the assorted unfastened secrets astatine the associated - and immoderate of them are surely bound to go the worldly of manufacture legend.

First up, we're told 1 of Are Media main Jane Huxley's faithful lieutenants has been causing large dramas amid claims she's been endowed with 'too overmuch power'.

Insiders accidental she's openly referred to arsenic 'The Flying Monkey' throughout Park St (though surely not erstwhile she's around) due to the fact that she reports everything backmost to the boss.

What's more, she seemingly visits the institution mailroom respective times passim the time and gleefully notes who's receiving what.

Legend has it that connected 1 specified trip, The Flying Monkey noticed that Marie Claire mag had received a bundle from Gucci. After reporting the high-end transportation to her master, she was allegedly told to retrieve it for 'safe keeping' - though what became of the Gucci gift, nary 1 knows.

Speaking of gifts, we are reliably informed the mags' quality editors person been told not to unfastened incoming quality products anymore to trial them. 

Instead, they each person to spell to the company's interior 'beauty sale' wherever they tin beryllium purchased by chap employees astatine a knocked-down price.

The Flying Monkey, we're told, often trawls the floors with a trolley calling out, 'Anything for the quality sale?' portion eyeing disconnected unit members' desks.

All proceeds from the income are said to spell to foundation - which sounds noble enough. 

Still, we couldn't assistance but deliberation the magazines' quality merchandise reviews were benignant of, you know, 'redundant' if the magazines hadn't really reviewed the quality products successful question. 

But Are Media didn't privation to reply our question astir this either.  

And the bundle argumentation doesn't halt astatine quality products. 

We're told there's besides a caller institution edict that Are Media unit person to state thing they've been sent that has a monetary worth of much than $200.

Management past seemingly decides whether oregon not unit get to support the acquisition similar immoderate benignant of firm Father Christmas.

As if that's not enough, unimpressed Park St insiders archer america they are 1 measurement distant from being forced to inquire their benevolent editorial overlords for support to spell to the toilet - and that they present person to beg for ceremonial support to permission the mag gathering during bureau hours.

And, yes, you had amended judge there's a signifier for that.

We're told those seeking to beryllium unshackled from their table to be a daytime enactment lawsuit person to plead their lawsuit to managers by addressing the pursuing criteria:

What is your crushed for wanting to go? Is determination an accidental to crook attendance into commercialized dollars? How overmuch volition the taxi cost? Time required successful concern hours?

Once again, Are Media didn't privation to remark erstwhile asked astir this policy. 

Still, it's not each doom and gloom successful astatine Park St - the apical brass astatine Are Media person besides been imbuing their underlings with invaluable beingness hacks, we're told.

One peculiarly utile extremity came aft unit were informed they needed to instrumentality to the bureau astatine slightest 4 days a week - nary exceptions - upsetting a big of work-from-home mums astatine the company.

Fear not: Are Media's manager of content, Sally Eagle, seemingly had immoderate adjuvant proposal connected however to execute the cleanable work-life balance: 'Just get organised!'

'I'm a mum of 4 and I get up astatine 4am each day,' she announced astatine 1 of the company's 'town hall' meetings, according to our sources.

Inspiring stuff.

Young Liberal's candid camera moment

A fewer weeks ago, we brought quality to you of the eyebrow-raising antics of Young Liberals rising prima Georgia Lowden.

The media advisor to Senator Dave Sharma was crippled capable to springiness america a fulsome effect erstwhile we asked astir the contented of posing successful a Labor T-shirt astatine a party.

And it seems we are not the lone ones to beryllium connected the receiving extremity of her openness.

On a stateside travel up of Donald Trump's landslide predetermination past year, she was buttonholed by American satirist Lionel McGloin, whose schtick is to airs arsenic a quality newsman portion tricking his gullible interviewees into guileless answers.

Wearing a 'Harris 2024 Save Democracy' tee - an unusual prime for the caput of Young Liberals NSW, but past she's got signifier successful that respect - Ms Lowden gave arsenic bully arsenic she got erstwhile asked: 'Who's much attractive: working-class guys oregon upper-class guys?'

'Both,' she responded aft a little pause. 'You can't marque maine choose!'

Asked whom she would similar to marry, Ms Lowden gave an reply that would marque astir Aussies proud.

'Tradies get the ladies, truthful moving class!' she quipped.

Who said Liberals are snobs?

Sharaz a thorn successful the government's side... again

Brittany Higgins' hubby David Sharaz mightiness person copped disapproval helium was doing Labor's bidding successful the countdown to the 2022 election, but cipher could impeach him of doing the aforesaid this clip around.

Back successful Australia aft a sojourn successful France, the caller begetter is present moving for a PR institution that precocious helped gully attraction to the deficiency of national backing and enactment for radical with stomas: a surgically created opening successful the abdomen that allows bodily discarded to beryllium removed into a tiny bag.

More than 1,000 sufferers wrote to wellness curate Mark Butler asking for assistance past November and they didn't adjacent get a reply. Nothing, nada, zero.

We tin uncover that erstwhile journalists started making enquires successful effect to agitating by Sharaz and Co., Butler's bureau was abruptly funny successful the contented (surprise, surprise) and each but begging those prepared to springiness captious quotes not to bash so.

We presume the wellness minister's unit agreed it wasn't a large look having a communicative deed the headlines astir their brag (and adjacent Albo confidant) failing to respond to calls for assistance portion the PM is engaged connected the run way flashing his Medicare paper astir astatine anyone with a camera arsenic if he's immoderate benignant of saviour of the wellness system.

The Greens spell raving mad

Reports the WA Greens were readying a late-night rave connected Anzac Day drew swift criticism, for evident reasons.

The backlash was truthful fierce that wrong hours the Greens had backflipped and cancelled the event.

You don't often spot the hard-left insignificant enactment springiness successful to 'mainstream' outrage. Perhaps offending veterans was a span excessively far, adjacent for them.

However, erstwhile it comes to Christians, not truthful much.

Their leader, Adam Bandt, is slated to header a midnight rave successful Melbourne aboriginal this week - connected Good Friday, to beryllium exact.

The invitation confirms they program to support it hush-hush, and Bandt's header enactment besides doesn't look connected the website for the Chapel St nightclub either from what we could see.

For the uninitiated, Good Friday is simply a solemn Christian beatified time commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his decease (thanks, Wikipedia).

Evidently, the Greens are much acrophobic astir backlash from Anzac Day worshippers than Christians - who marque up astir 44 per cent of our population, per the 2021 census.

At immoderate rate, Bandt's DJ skills astatine slightest springiness him thing successful communal with our DJing PM Anthony Albanese.

It mightiness adjacent beryllium a mode for them to enslaved arsenic they sermon Bandt's wishlist of policies successful the lawsuit the Greens enactment a Labor number authorities aft the election.

Truth astir gravity-defying ratings 

Speaking of grounds spinning, Seven News boss Anthony De Ceglie and his Nine News counterpart, Fiona Dear, person some been engaged spruiking the sensational occurrence of their respective 6pm bulletins this week.

In fact, according to a communicative successful The Australian connected Monday, 'the bully quality for broadcasters is that the evening bulletins person reversed the inclination of declining free-to-air TV audiences, with the numbers up twelvemonth connected year, and immoderate of the champion ratings figures since 2022.'

'In a clip of satellite economical volatility, expanding earthy disasters and governmental uncertainly, the expanding fig of viewers for some 7News and 9News is further impervious of the enduring spot of free-to-air news,' De Ceglie opined.  

His boasts were past backed up by revelations Seven's prime-time bulletins had attracted 836,592 viewers connected mean crossed the captious five-city metro marketplace for the archetypal 13 weeks of the ratings year, portion Nine's rival offering had pulled successful 829,511. 

But bent connected conscionable a second...

That's an unusual humble brag from De Ceglie... because when Seven News claimed the ratings twelvemonth successful September 2023, it was attracting 873,000 viewers crossed the superior cities astatine 6pm compared to Nine's 760,000… and that's according to the network's ain property merchandise (yes, we bash work them).

That would mean Seven's 6pm bulletins are actually down astir 40,000 viewers connected mean since De Ceglie and his 'news successful nappies' line-up of kid bosses took implicit from predecessor Craig McPherson… portion Nine's are up astir 70,000 nether Dear since she replaced erstwhile brag Darren Wick.

Like, we get wherefore Dear would beryllium bragging... but De Ceglie?!? What the actual...?

Indeed, the twist successful fortunes was truthful pronounced, we punched the numbers respective times successful disbelief... earlier yet checking successful with Nine's main ratings-watcher to spot whether our maths could perchance beryllium right, lone for him to guarantee us: 'Yes - that is each correct.'

In further atrocious quality for Seven News' hard-working journos, the web besides looks destined to suffer the five-city metro ratings for the archetypal clip successful astir a decennary this year, breaking McPherson's unbeaten grounds successful the timeslot portion successful the apical job.

Little wonderment Seven West Media's omniscient chairman Kerry Stokes still considers McPherson 'the best' successful the business.

Of course, afloat kudos to Dear. Many predicted the Nine News brag wouldn't spot it done the summertime holidays fixed each the hurly burly of past year... but spot it done she has and present it looks similar she's connected the cusp of an historical ratings victory.

De Ceglie, meanwhile, has joined the abbreviated database of elder quality execs who person decided it's a bully thought to person a spot of a getaway successful the mediate of the national predetermination campaign. 

We honestly don't blasted him for wanting to get retired of Sydney for a spot implicit the holidays - besides, we perceive the Margaret River is bully this clip of year.

Hayes brings Zonfrillo widow scoop to Seven 

On the taxable of quality shows, we're pleased to enactment the squad astatine Seven are studiously speechmaking Inside Mail and taking notes.

In February, we revealed erstwhile Nine presenter Liz Hayes had conducted ‘an extraordinary, unaired 60 Minutes interrogation with precocious personage cook Jock Zonfrillo and his woman Lauren Fried’ 5 years ago.

We explained that erstwhile Nine main 'Hollywood' Hugh Marks had permanently shelved the story, however, due to the fact that Zonfrillo was connected MasterChef astatine the time, and the Ten cooking contention was successful a fierce conflict for eyeballs against 60 Minutes.

Fast guardant 2 months and we've learned Seven's Spotlight has picked up connected the thought and that Hayes, who is present a freelancer, is 'midway through' shooting a 'guest story' with Fried, which we recognize volition beryllium broadcast the nighttime aft the election.

With Spotlight desperately needing to triumph each ratings outing they can, we’re gladsome to spot they’ve been paying attention.

They should effort doing a communicative connected artificial quality next... ohio wait, scrap that. That really sounds a spot boring.

You get a debate! You get a debate! You get a debate! 

Inside Mail past week speculated that Seven had the borderline successful the contention to fastener down the last statement betwixt Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition person Peter Dutton earlier the federation went to the ballot boxes connected May 3.

We revealed Seven had been assured of winning the combat for the enactment face-off, with Albo peculiarly keen to pat into the network's cardinal Western Australian audience.

However, ultimately, we decided the contention was excessively adjacent to telephone with the PM improbable to privation to alienate Nine by overlooking them wholly successful favour of Seven.

And we were right… benignant of.

In the end, Albo and Dutton agreed to bash some - successful the process checking disconnected each the large broadcasters pursuing their earlier appearances connected Sky News and the ABC.

Nine volition present big its statement adjacent Tuesday, to beryllium moderated by A Current Affair star Allison Langdon, earlier Seven's respected governmental exertion Mark Riley hosts the leaders' 4th and last stoush the Sunday earlier the election, connected April 27.

It remains to beryllium seen whether they'll person thing near to accidental to each different by then.

Still, we perceive Riley worked tirelessly down the scenes to unafraid what is apt to beryllium the highest-rating statement fixed its proximity to polling day, portion web guru Ray Kuka has been charged with turning it into a large lawsuit tv - truthful expect fireworks!

Albo spreads it connected thick 

In 1 of the fewer genuinely comic moments connected the run way this week, Albo weighed successful connected a Vegemite ungraded (!?) from Canada (!?)

You astir apt could've got beauteous agelong likelihood connected those 2 playing a relation successful the election.

It came astir due to the fact that Canadian authorities tried to prohibition and prehend a ample stockpile of imported Vegemite acceptable to beryllium utilized by expat edifice proprietor Leighton Walters whose Toronto café serves the iconic Aussie spread.

The details of the prohibition aren't interesting. Nor was Albo's glib defence of the nutrient staple staying connected the paper erstwhile helium said: 'I basal with the Aussie café owner.'

I mean, who the hellhole cares? 

The real story came erstwhile Albo tried to adhd flavour to his remarks by telling reporters: 'I really enactment a batch of Vegemite connected my toast.'

How interesting. But, of course, any self-respecting Vegemite eater volition archer you determination is simply a close and a incorrect mode to service the yeasty dispersed connected toast.

And putting 'a lot' connected is wide regarded arsenic wrong. Both the everyman and the existent gourmand hold little is much erstwhile it comes to Vegemite.

Voters are swayed by the astir insignificant of transgressions. Will Albo admitting he's 1 of those brainsick radical who spread Vegemite a centimetre heavy connected his toast each greeting enactment radical off?

Stranger things person happened.

Allegra's predetermination kick-off 

Eastern suburbs Teal MP Allegra Spender was looking little well-heeled than accustomed portion retired and astir campaigning successful Sydney's affluent Double Bay connected Monday.

Inside Mail spotted the subordinate for Malcolm Turnbull's aged spot of Wentworth pressing the soma by the tree-lined locale's ferry terminal astir 7.30am arsenic the neighbourhood's city-bound workers made their greeting commute.

After chatting authorities with 1 imaginable voter, she kicked his dog's tennis shot for it to pursuit - lone for 1 of her cream-coloured Mary Janes to going flying on with it.

Fortunately, the pooch lone had eyes for the shot and Spender soon regained her trademark composure... and wayward shoe. 

Daily Mail readers are an optimistic bunch

On Wednesday, Daily Mail Australia's exclusive Ipsos poll revealed that Peter Dutton is much unpopular than Albo, and voters presume Labor volition triumph the adjacent predetermination contempt a bulk of those polled besides saying they deliberation Australia is heading successful the incorrect direction.

Next week, determination volition beryllium different exclusive canvass with further accusation - truthful enactment tuned!

But thing that we didn't study earlier this week arsenic portion of the canvass was that erstwhile voters were asked to registry their restitution and dissatisfaction with the respective leaders, we besides broke those figures down to conscionable Daily Mail Australia readers.

And conjecture what? You batch are much generous to some leaders than the remainder of the voting nationalist are. Albo was fixed a nett restitution standing of minus 4 overall, but our readers were much generous than that, giving him a affirmative standing of seven: 42 per cent satisfied, 35 per cent dissatisfied.

While Dutton was fixed a lowly minus 20 nett restitution standing by the wider public, according to Ipsos, Daily Mail readers person him a little embarrassing minus 10: 32 per cent satisfied, 42 per cent dissatisfied.

So springiness yourselves a corporate pat connected the backmost for being glass-half-full erstwhile it comes to the clown amusement that represents america successful parliament.

As Willie Nelson erstwhile said: 'Once you regenerate antagonistic thoughts with affirmative ones, you'll commencement having affirmative results.'
