The other possibility is that the wretchedness of Gillard signifies a more general upheaval in the social and political setting. The cliches, the tortured and oppressive cadences are habits of the language she was raised in. Demotic it may be, but this language carries only the shallowest meaning. The phrases are not to inform or inspire the audiences but merely to echo it to satisfy its narcissism. The spin the public loathes is made expressly for them.

I'm Alex. I work on corporate strategy at STW Digital in Sydney and Melbourne. I'm usually found in an airport lounge somewhere making Keynote charts.
I post here about new media, old media, what's happening in the business world, advertising, culture, finance, politics, and of course the internets.
