Wednesday started like any other for Labor's industrial relations spokeswoman Julia Gillard. She is always on the lookout for examples of WorkChoices failing the fairness test. But the headline the very next day declared another company had underpaid workers - only this time the company was owned by Kevin Rudd's wife. Therese Rein was in London when the story broke and flew home so she and her husband could face the media. On reflection, the Rudds have taken the politically convenient decision and Ms Rein has announced she will be selling the Australian arm of the company.
