Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's stepdaughter has appeared in a raunchy photoshoot wearing only a bikini and the Australian flag
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's stepdaughter has appeared in a raunchy photoshoot wearing only a bikini and the Australian flag.
The New York-based stylist Staci Child (31), who is the daughter of Gillard's partner Tim Mathieson, posed for Zoo Weekly magazine and says heru00a0 father loved the photos. "I think Julia will think it's a very Australian thing to do," she added.
However, not everyone is thrilled with the photo shoot.
RSL State President David McLachlan said the Australian flag should be respected.
"Recognising generational change in opinions, there will be many in the community, that see the use of the flag in this way as most inappropriate," he said.
Australians for Constitutional Monarchy spokesman Prof David Flint also expressed his reservations. "It may be somewhat undignified and not what you would have done but then again you've got to allow young people a certain degree of liberty in these sort of things," he said.
Child was raised by her mum in Shepparton, Victoria, but remains close to her father.
Mathieson has two other adult children with his former wife Diane Stark.
Welsh born PM Gillard (48), and Mathieson have been together since they met at his hair studio, but his daughter says she is unsure about his current job.
