Letters to the EditorBarbies and Kens Eye High Office
Dear Editor Can you tell me how I can get a job at the Labor Council of NSW They never seem to be advertised but I think I may be just whom you are looking for! I'm blonde ,blue eyed and stand 12cm high in heels.I have a great wardrobe I am very versatile.And Oh I don't speak back.So come on heres your gal available at any Toys R Us. Love and Kisses Union Barbie PS Oh and one more thing I've been around for more than thirty five years so I hope this won't count against me. Dear Editor I am writing to protest over recent reported comments made by Michael Costa over the age of the proposed candidate for ACTU President. Why should such jobs be only the preserve of my friend Union Barbie.I am a young (alright youngish),well groomed ,polite goodlooking intelligent SNAG who would just love a job in the NSW union movement leadership.But between the proposed Barbies and the existing Bruces wheres the room for me? Why is it that only the women leaders in the trade union movement have to be young 'fresh and attractive.What about the guys.Please Michael give positive discrimination a go for us guys as well. (Hopefully) Your Friend Ken PS You can contact me at any Toys R Us store near you.
