It's been theorised that Miranda Devine does not exist as such, but she is rather a front for the Herald staff to troll the opinion pages. Kewpid 10:02, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
That is a ridiculous notion. My friend is a student journalist and has met Miranda in person. 210.56.64.215 09:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Mystique of Miranda Devine Continues
The entry on Miranda Devine says she was born in the 1960s. This would seem just a slight exaggeration.
The year of her birth is given by the National Library of Australia as 1948.

That would be an interesting addition given that the Bulletin (link at bottom) says she's in her early 40s (2004). But she just doesn't look 58! (Could they be using a very old photo or would that be too obvious?) Nick 17:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- She's married with a young family, so I think "early 40s" makes more sense. Kewpid 13:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Section about Criticism
Devine often attracts criticism for her views, as sometimes seen in the Letters page of the Sydney Morning Herald. Her views are sometimes seen as out of touch, for example, referring to Sarah Murdoch wife of one of Australia's richest men Lachlan Murdoch as being "plagued by the same doubts as any working mother". [1]
I want to delete this section. "Attracting criticism" - so do many columnists, if not all at some point or other. "Views are sometimes seen as out of touch" - where is the reference for this? The reference you provide is simply an opinion piece by Devine, and whether it is "out of touch" is a value statement that is being made.Recurring dreams 08:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
