Caroline Kennedy arrived in Australia on Friday morning to begin her posting as the US ambassador to the country, but already she has given the locals a lesson in manners.
The press pack in attendance were keen to put questions to the new ambassador, with one female reporter drowned out by a male reporter who began speaking over her.
Kennedy turned her gaze to the man and asked, “Did you just talk over the woman?”
She had a smile on her face, but the message was clear, as she turned back to the female reporter and continued, “Well, okay, she started.”
The man in question was a Channel Ten news stalwart, Hugh Riminton, who later “outed” himself on social media.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I think it only fair that I out myself as the reporter who the new US Ambassador-designate #CarolineKennedy ticked off for "talking over a woman" at her press conference.

Paul Bongiorno replaced as face of Ten’s Meet The Press
Ratings-hungry Ten Network is going into a partnership with News Ltd to expand its Meet The Press program – but the new version will be less news-led and more lifestyle.
