    She was when the article (in the Guardian) was written and she was correctly identified as the Australian PM.

    Not at all bad for the Guardian ...

      But not when Mr Pee posted as he did when he did; the insertion of the word "then" is all that was needed, after all...

        But not when Mr Pee posted. As for her ostensible enthusiasm for Game of Thrones, politicians will say anything they (or their spin doctors) think might ingratiate themselves with a few more voters. Remember Gordon Brown's claim to have Arctic Monkeys and Leona Lewis on his iPod?

          "The EU came under mounting pressure at the weekend to relieve a worsening refugee emergency in the Mediterranean, as leaders of southern member states called for urgent action to prevent the sea becoming a "tomb" for thousands fleeing north from Libya to Malta or Italy.

          With dozens more dying in the waters separating the two continents at the weekend, and latest UN figures showing an acceleration in the numbers risking all in death-trap vessels leaving the Libyan coast, the Italian and Maltese prime ministers insisted that the EU tackle the boat people issue at its summit next week.

          The Italian prime minister, Enrico Letta, said Italy could not even wait that long, and would from Monday start the process of tripling its naval and air presence in the Strait of Sicily, the stretch of water in which at least 390 people have died in the last 10 days."

          Italy and Malta demand aid to avert more deaths as figures show acceleration in those risking all in death-trap vessels from Libya
