Gillard, Arbib and the empty chair PR disaster
Filed Under Botched PR jobs, Government, Media, Politics, Public Relations, Public Speaking | Leave a Comment
Apparently, Aussie PM Julia Gillard banned a senior Labour honcho - Mark Arbib - from appearing on the country’s most credible political panel discussion (Q&A) last night. Mischievously, the producers left Arbib’s seat empty thereby creating a risible talking point throughout the show. Having agreed to appear, then pulling the appearance, this looks like another major PR mis-step from the faltering Labour Party.
