	Two articles on Cheryl Kernot
		At a time when normal courtesy demands that she be given sympathy, if not privacy, Cheryl Kernot was met by a barrage of media, and a question implying that she was neglecting her family.
		Cheryl Kernot said on The 7.30 Report: "Not many people have to sit down with their 14-and-a-half-year-old daughter and discuss their sexual past of 25 years ago." It is a shame that a young girl, at a vulnerable stage of life, should have to cope with such public speculation about the morals of her mother.
		While commentators speculate whether Ms Kernot's quite restrained anger means she is not strong enough for the cut and thrust of politics, many ordinary people might think Ms Kernot's consideration of her family shows she is a decent person: indeed, just the kind of person we need as a politician.

	Cheryl factor irks the ALP
		But consider this: it was Kernot who chose to be high profile, first by her brutal and personal internal campaign to win the leadership of the Australian Democrats, and then by her decision to defect to the Labor Party.
		When she did land, Kernot was escorted up to a giant pavilion to declare in her first speech to her new party that on the day she deserted the Democrats, a political fault line had opened all the way from Kirribilli (House) to Canberra.
		Kernot's response is to say she sorted the matter out with the commissioner and the stamp office is satisfied that everything is in order.

	Sunday 14 December 1997 (
		And Kernot, with all of 18 months' experience as an MP behind her, was one of those busiest backgrounding reporters on the affair.
		At the same time, Kernot made a series of phone calls to several St Leo's old boys whom she knew in the 1970s: all are understood to have given her undertakings that they would not discuss the matter.
		They say that Kernot's attitude to Stott Despoja, who has become the party's deputy leader behind Meg Lees, resulted in the younger woman asking fewer questions in the Senate and being moved to another seat so that when TV news showed Kernot in the Senate, Stott Despoja was no longer in the background.

	Herald Sun: Cheryl Kernot wishes Garrett well [10jun04] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Ms Kernot, who was enticed to quit as leader of the Australian Democrats and switch to Labor in 1997, said Mr Garrett would have advantages she never enjoyed during her controversial three years with Labor.
		Ms Kernot, now the director of learning at the school of social entrepreneurs in London, said she had to stand for a marginal Queensland electorate and had some powerful enemies in the Queensland Labor machine who gave no support in three years.
		Ms Kernot said she didn't agree that someone who worked the numbers in an electorate for a few years should automatically be entitled to be a candidate.

		Cheryl was haunted by thoughts of the old man's last friendless days, until, as executor of his will, she went to clean out his flat.
		That Cheryl Kernot was able to continue to care for the person who had burned down her and Gavin's lovingly restored dream home and their priceless family mementoes shows an amazing generosity of spirit, understanding of disadvantage and a refusal to blame the victim: rare qualities in today's political leadership.
		Cheryl had two choices, lie low and refuse to comment leaving the media to hassle her grieving and ageing parents: this was her minders' advice.

		The fact that Cheryl Kernot and those who support her cannot see this is testament in itself to her failings in both her professional life and her personal life.

		In the long whinge that Cheryl Kernot has produced to explain why she bears no responsibility for the collapse of her once brilliant political career, a constant theme is media intrusion.
		Kernot details the undertakings given to her when she defected – that she would have a senior frontbench position, financial support to campaign in the period while she was out of parliament, and plenty of resources for her bid to win the Queensland seat of Dickson.
		Kernot expresses disappointment that she was not given the safe Melbourne seat of Gellibrand, but it is a good bet that Nicola Roxon, who now holds it, will not be chewed up and will be of much greater long-term value to the ALP.

		Cheryl is no longer in the Labor party, she lost her seat at the last election.
		She spent some time as a Labor MP exhibiting a desire to be Australia's 'Queen of Lattes', and a determination to be Labor's roving ambassador for all things baby-boomeresque.
		Cheryl's autobiography launched on July 1, 2002 caused more fuss for what wasn't in it, rather than for what was.

	Profile: Cheryl Kernot
		It became a risk that day, last October, when Cheryl Kernot abandoned the leadership of the Democrats, not even disclosing the defection to her closest staff, and transferred her charisma and her ideology to a bigger stage.
		Kernot is spending most of her time on old-fashioned campaigning - working the neighbourhood, pounding the pavement, door-knocking, meeting and greeting.
		I believe Cheryl Kernot will be bad for Dickson, because she'll not be serving the community she'll be serving her own career interests and I will be doing everything in my power to stop her.

	ARPA: Penning the Political Female
		Kernot was proud of the Democrats’ negotiations with Labor governments, but following the 1996 election, she was alarmed by the philosophy of the Coalition government under Prime Minister John Howard.
		Kernot assumed that her standing as the country’s most respected political leader was a personal trait that would transfer with her.
		Kernot acknowledges that some see criticism, especially by a woman, as ‘whingeing’, but she is determined to continue to make a contribution as her submission to the Hawke-Wran Review demonstrates.

		Cheryl Kernot told the interviewer, Fran Kelly, that people found it very hard to believe Kim Beazley, and that she was prepared to be Labor's 'visible symbol'.
		The issue of Kernot and the ALP leadership was raised as soon as she switched from the Democrats to Labor.
		Perhaps Cheryl Kernot was hoping for that wave of positive media support to carry her, after her election, all the way into the top Labor job.

	A Review of Cheryl Kernot, The Woman Most Likely (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		He suggests, for instance, that Kernot's interest in politics and her natural ability stem, in part, from her grandfather's political "bloodline" and from her regular promenades with her father through the town, stopping to chat with friends.
		Although Kernot is an unusual and well-liked figure, largely free of the baggage that attaches to most serving politicians, this representation of her is fraught with danger.
		In the preface, for example, the description of Kernot's move to Labor as "a top-secret political operation of almost military precision" with Kernot at the "epicentre" required "to embrace the utter brutality of politics" is a little overblown.

	A man's best friend, but feminism's worst enemy - smh.com.au
		With all her sanctimonious, honey-voiced pronouncements about feminism and the status of women and all her complaints about sexism and blokey cultures, Cheryl Kernot has proved herself to be the single worst enemy Australian feminism has ever had.
		Not only was she seemingly incapable of restraining herself from committing adultery with a renowned charmer, but she blamed the subsequent fallout on sexism and the unreadiness of Australian society to accept a successful woman in politics.
		To put these claims to the test, just imagine if Cheryl Kernot had been a man. Imagine a 27-year-old married male teacher at an all-girls Catholic school in the mid-70s, who got to know a Year 12 student and embarked on a long-term sexual relationship after the girl graduated.

		CHERYL KERNOT used rumours of an affair between Australian Democrats leader Janet Powell and colleague Sid Spindler to destabilise Powell and claim leadership of the party, according to various pundits, including — bizarrely — Margo Kingston's brother, who before commencing a career in anarchism was a Democrats staffer.
		Kernot's book is an attempt to blame everybody but herself for the ensuing collapse of her political career, and to settle scores with various individuals she felt had wronged her.
		Kernot, married with a teenage daughter, had been having an affair with senior ALP identity Gareth Evans (also married, and with two adult children).

		In 2002, it has become hard to believe how limitless Cheryl Kernot's potential seemed when she left the Democrats and joined Labor on 15 October 1997.
		If Kernot wanted to portray the human face of politics, recent revelations have made her appear all too human.
		Unfortunately, Kernot simply isn't very good at writing about herself, and what eventually emerges about her emerges from between the lines rather than from her own words.

	Printer version - Does Don Randall have better morals than Cheryl Kernot? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Don Randall, then the Liberal member for the Western Australian federal seat of Swan launched his bitter attack upon Kernot because she was planning to visit the electorate of Swan in her capacity as a Shadow Minister.
		Randall's reference in his speech to Kernot having "the morals of an ally cat on heat" received wide adverse coverage in Western Australia and disgusted many Liberals, to the extent that the Prime Minister's office instructed Randall to apologise when parliament next sat.
		Following Oakes' and Crikey's disclosures of Kernot's "big secret", Howard's office immediately instructed Randall not to gloat and what to say to the media, however he has not been able to restrain himself and has revelled in the notoriety the incidental part he played in the affair has brought him.

		When Cheryl went feral last Saturday night, I said to myself: Lawrie, old boy, what this country desperately needs today is a School for the Rehabilitation of Rotten Losers that we may set kids an example of the old Aussie principle of dignity in defeat, a trait apparently lost on the present generation.
		I said to myself: Lawrie, old son, what this country needs more than anything is a school for rotten losers that features a crash course in potential female prime ministers not crossing their bridges until they come to them.
		So Cheryl, I'd like to quote you two fine examples of dignity in defeat that will be linchpins in my School for the Rehabilitation of Rotten Losers.
