Australia has first woman PM as Gillard replaces Rudd

Quote:
Julia Gillard has been sworn in as Australia's first female prime minister after a surprise leadership vote in the ruling Labor Party ousted Kevin Rudd.

Mr Rudd chose not to take part in the ballot knowing he would suffer an embarrassing defeat to his deputy.


Same party so I doubt there will be any u-turns on the contorversial internet policies.


Quote:
Ms Gillard was born in Barry Island in south Wales


:lol:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Just wondering how long before the press demand an election because there is a PM that no one has voted for. :roll:

There is one due this Autumn (spring over there) so I doubt there will be much of a push. I'll be voting for internet freedom.

I can see that being an issue, but will the public see sense? Possibly not.
