The Prime Minister's decision to pose with her dog Reuben as she knits a gift for the royal baby has made headlines around the nation with the image splashed across the newspapers' front pages and footage playing over and over on news bulletins. It's not the first time a Women's Weekly story has made a splash. The decision to put Julia Gillard on the cover when she became PM in 2010 ruffled some feathers and images of Cheryl Kernot draped in a feather boa haven't been forgotten. Here is a look back at some of the magazine's memorable moments.
