Before we go all soft about Gladys' relationship 'mistakes', hands up if you remember this? The $46 million Royal Commission set up by the LNP to try to skewer Julia Gillard. Her offence? Having a boyfriend who turned out to be a bit dodgy. (She was completely exonerated.) As a postscript, the judge who headed up this farce, an LNP stooge, was later accused of sexual harassment by three of his associates. Want to know how a country ends up with somebody like Trump in charge? This is it.
