I don’t usually read the Herald Sun, but if it’s all that is on offer, like Sunday, I’ll give it a go.

And wasn’t I delighted to read bogan Kate Hands’ pre-conceived take on the 2020 Summit.

“I’ll blog about that” I thought, but the cunning Bridgit beat me to it. So let me take you back in time to see where it all began…

Please note: If you are offended by elitism, don’t read on. Please.

WHEN Kate Hands rang husband Warren to say she had been chosen by the Herald Sun to attend Kevin Rudd’s 2020 Summit, the plumber’s response was a bellow of delight down the phone.

“You little beauty, what a ripper,” he yelled.

Little known fact - he was actually cheering his flatulence.

There was also excitement among work colleagues, who had always ribbed her over her strong opinions about life in the mortgage belt — from high interest rates and poor childcare and education infrastructure, to a lack of public transport and a shortage of facilities for teenagers.

I assume she supports high interest rates, poor childcare and lack of public transport. Good for her.

“I wanted to make sure the views of working people and middle class Australia were heard,” Kate said.

Middle class?

If you say so.

And I lurve the mention of working people, cos, you know, that’s 96% of the population.

And from the Star News Group comes this:

Mrs Hands, 27, believed the Herald Sun editors chose her out of a field of several thousands of willing readers because she’s middle class and has an upfront personality.

There’s that middle class phrase again.

“I think that I’ve got a lot of insight and opinions on quite a few subject matters and that I’m confident and I’m honest,” she said.

I’m simply dying to hear your insight.

“What I went forward with is that I think I represent your average middle class Victoria- I think that’s what they were looking for.”

“What I went forward with this”?

What?

Need I say more?
