Codswallop in the Aussie media

With all that's been occurring in the international arena which could affect Australian foreign affairs during Kevin Rudd's present overseas tour, it was 'Mr. & Mrs. Star-chaser and Frumpy-dresser' who became the thème de la journée for The Australian and The Courier Mail.
What a load of codswallop!
I don't mind if Rudders likes to have an occasional meal or meeting with an Aussie celebrity and I certainly don't care one whit if Therese wears the same dress, shoes or handbag more than once.
The Daily Telegraph also jumps into the manure pile by raising a stink about Rudd and Macklin giving the go-ahead for Centrelink to hire Dun and Bradstreet to collect 62,000 debts worth between $20 and $100 from welfare clients, dating back eight to 12 years, but neglecting to remind its readers that the Australian Tax Office is also using this law firm to collect $10.1 billion in unpaid taxes mostly from errant companies.
