Australia’s longest-serving current premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, says female leaders continue to be scrutinised differently from their male counterparts as she criticised a “deplorable” cartoon of the new Victorian premier.
The cartoon, published in the Herald Sun this week, depicted the Victorian premier, Jacinta Allan, as a nude catwalk model. The image used some pixellation and was paired with the caption: “From the Commonwealth Games cancellation … the premier’s new clothes.”
