Vaguely Famous Aussie Females Most and Least Trusted
In a poll conducted by, er, Reader's Digest magazine (so it must be right) the most trusted people in Australia are Olivia Newton-John, Princess Mary of Denmark, and some doctor. [User SGnews, password SGnews.] (OK, Princess Mary isn't technically in Australia anymore, but apparently she can be trusted when she is.)
In male-and-female partnerships, wives and girlfriends seemed to do better than their male counterparts.
A Reader's Digest survey has found burns specialist Dr Fiona Wood is Australia's most trusted person, followed by Newton-John and Tasmanian-born Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.
Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone was ranked the least trustworthy of 100 prominent Australians in the survey.
The list includes four former prime ministers, a host of politicians, sportspeople, television and movie stars, singers, businesspeople, models and media moguls.
Prime Minister John Howard's wife Janette (at 74) is more trusted than her husband (85).
Model, mum and charity patron Sarah O'Hare (43) is well ahead of her husband, media executive Lachlan Murdoch (93), while Home and Away starlet and mum-to-be Bec Cartwright (59) also is more trusted than her partner, tennis player Lleyton Hewitt (73).
Politician Vanstone, the least trusted, has been mired in controversy over several cases of wrongful incarceration (Cornelia Rau) and deportation (Vivian Alvarez) recently. The article does not say where her predecessor, smilin' Philip "Children Overboard" Ruddock came in.
