The two plan to marry, reports the Woman's Day cover story, headlined ``Our love wouldn't die.'' Gushes d'Alpuget: ``He's got the stamina of a man of 40. Am I smiling or what?'' Western Australia's Premier Richard Court was disgusted: ``When former Prime Ministers are selling stories about their private lives for money, I think it is as low as you can go.''
