| Ryan on 06 July 2012 ,19:46 Julia "Queen of the dodgy" Gillard even made the list? I suppose it does show a good spectrum though and being being 5th from the bottom is a fair indicator if you had to rank her. Dr Karl totally more trustworthy than The Wiggles! But he is in good company at least. |
| Jack on 29 June 2012 ,20:31 It's a joke they have Mary Donaldson (Princess Mary of Denmark) on there. |
| Alan Burkitt on 28 June 2012 ,09:57 Some strange choices, Tomic, did you see him smash his racquet last night, or remember his driving trouble last year. Ben Roberts Smith;being brave doesn't prove you're trustworthy, Ned Kelly was brave, he murdered 3 policemen, Hitler was probably brave too. The Wiggles, ask the member they back stabbed last year. Kyle Sandilands would be happy to know he is the 99th most trusted out of 22 million people. |
