Where do you draw the line? When does a publicity stunt in the name of entertainment cross over into a tacky, potentially offensive, classless act of ticket sales over tact?

Well for me, that line lies somewhere a long way before this line: a photo of an "unemployment queue" outside a job centre featuring Australia's most recent former prime minister apparently waiting her turn, resume in hand, to sign up.

   This is an unfunny joke at a respected leader's expense. If her political opponents did it they would be rightly chastised. When an "entertainment venue" does it, it's a disgrace.

Except of course she isn't, wasn't and didn't.

A certain wax museum, which shall remain nameless to avoid giving them the publicity they desperately crave, placed their waxwork of Australia's first female prime minister among a cabal of witless, witting extras in order to take a few rain-soaked happy snaps.

"Following her dramatic fall from power on Wednesday night, Julia Gillard's wax figure yesterday made her way down to a job centre in Sydney to start looking for a new job. After losing the Labor party leadership ballot to Kevin Rudd on Wednesday night, the former Australian prime minister was seen lining up outside the job centre with a resume in hand, pondering her employment options amongst other job seekers waiting to be served.

"And while Julia Gillard's next calling in life is yet to be decided, she was quoted ahead of the leadership ballot as saying that whoever should lose Wednesday night's election should retire from politics. With that in mind, it seems Julia thought it would be best to head to a nearby job centre to claim some income support while she seeks out other potential careers."
