From there us readers can construe a number of things about Kruk's team - it's a bonded one, only females applied, it's unbalanced, Kruk prefers to work with women and maybe the Premier does too. What's with you guys on articles referring to sex, active or passive. You get your knickers and boxers in a biased knot. Get over it because I think the real message in the story is that we're losing the solid, merit-based public service appointments to Party-cosy political choices. It's true, sad and highly unhealthy.
