I was listening to an interview on Radio National this evening and the interviewer was questioning as to whether this had been blown up as part of the 'outrage industry' . She was implying that with the advent of Twitter etc that often somewhat intemperate or Ill thought out comments are fed upon by the media and whipped up into something larger than they deserve. I think there may be some credence to this. Dawn is pretty old school, she must be in her 70's now, and as I recall has a bit of her own history of larrakin behaviour as a young swimmer at the Commonwealth games many moons ago.
