| Subject: Funny: Russian ministry refers to Julie Bishop as a 'he' Tue Sep 02, 2014 10:44 pm | |
| Australia's ambassador in Moscow has teased his hosts during a row on Twitter, saying both grammar and borders were proving hard for Russia to settle on at the moment.
The diplomatic ding-dong began when the official Twitter account of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs took a potshot at Australia's foreign minister Julie Bishop.
Quoting its foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, the ministry said "The Australian FM's idea not to invite Russia to the G20 summit is not surprising but he should not lose sign of its principles … one of the host country's duties is to facilitate the discussion."
