PM's son gets the tabloid treatment

The PM's sons lover

The Saturday Daily Telegraph has revealed Tim Howard's live-in love is a former bikini babe who has starred in a sexy pictorial spread in a French men's magazine.

The saucy splash features on the website of FHM France showing Sarah MackIntosh in a variety of poses.

The website describes the Sydney child psychology student, now 28, as having "one of the best bodies in the Southern Hemisphere".

As the paper put it: "Clearly not one to be ruled by his father's conservative values, Tim yesterday confirmed he was "certainly aware" of his girlfriend's pin-up past but declined to comment any further."
