This is the story I was looking for - it uses 'stranglehold' to describe male G-Gs, in contrast, of course, to the <em>HS</em>'s use of 'tradition'. I agree, however, that's it's more or less the roundup of everyone they could find that would have something to say about women in government. In the other <em>Age </em>article (I think) they quote Baird, who wrote this great book called <em>Media Tarts</em> about Australian media framing of women politicians. Oh awesome!

I found it frustrating that the Age only interviewed OTHER female politicians about their views of the appointment. This was the first story I came across.
