How come the media has decided to call the John Della Bosca – Iguana restaurant affair, Iguana-gate?
Where does the ‘gate’ come from?
And now on 2UE news at midday Saturday they are calling the incident, Della-gate!
What’s with this ‘gate’ business?
Shouldn’t the incident just be called the Iguana-Della Bosca affair?
Maybe I have missed something but I don’t understand why the word ‘gate’ has to be applied to this incident.
Looking across the news should we start referring to everything as a ‘gate’ or just ‘incidents’?
Possibly Greg Bird getting arrested in Queensland after State of Origin II could be called ‘Bird-gate’ or maybe Hillary Clinton’s failure to win nomination to become US President could be called ‘Clinton-gate’.
Does that make any more sense?
