Amid thrilling details of the previous governments’ troubled era of political back stabbing, infighting and treachery, Roxon’s trendy new hair ‘do and relaxed look provided a light distraction.

She was there to discuss the turmoil of Kevin Rudd’s leadership between 2007 and 2010, leading up to his knifing by then deputy and eventual PM Julia Gillard.

Roxon served as Minister for Health and Ageing under both leaders. Later, she was Attorney-General under Gillard.
