03| Clothes maketh the woman

from Ms Represented · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

There's a clear uniform for men in politics: a suit for weekdays, no tie on weekends and an Akubra if you are making a rural announcement. But fashion isn't so straightforward for women.

It is estimated that during her time as PM, Julia Gillard spent about 1100 hours having her hair and makeup done.
