NATALIE BENNETT, the leader of the Green Party for whom Mr Griffiths is clearly so proud to have voted, will obviously be distraught to learn that he regards her with “scepticism and disdain” as someone who was privately educated, for he is equally proud to tell us he regards all such misfortunates thus.
Ms Bennett’s particular misfortune of course was to have been educated at the Methodist Ladies College in Sydney, whose distinguished alumnae include Lady McMahon, the wife of Sir William McMahon, a former Prime Minister of Australia no less.
