Can you believe she is an Atheist as well. She was on the radio the other day and was asked about her beliefs. She stated that she is not going to say she is religious when she isn't. Great work Julia!!!!!

Not only is she an atheist, she is also a single women living with her boyfriend and pro-choice(abortion)

Pretty much everything the church hates.


Getting better all the time.

Well. All I can say is...

Go Australia!

Unlike the US. We do not vote directly for the national leader. He is elected a member of parliament by his electorate. He is elected party leader by his party leaders. If his party wins government,he is Prime Minister. He may be removed as PM at any time by his party. In this case it was the Labor Party caucus.

Althoug Gillard is a member of the Labor left,it was the support of the right faction ( to which Rudd belonged) which ensured Gillard would win her leadershiip challenge.

I don't know if you know this, but the U.S. does not vote directly either.

Awesome! Go her!

We here in England had a lady PM once.

Didn't go too well !!!!!

Well, not everything can be as good as it seems.


"We believe the marriage act is appropriate in its current form, that is recognising that marriage is between a man and a woman, but we have as a government taken steps to equalise treatment for gay couples," Ms. Gillard said.

If England's and Australia's track record were to be believed, I think that any lady PM who attains power has got to be corrupted irreparably like her male counterparts.

Not so. You assume the woman gets corrupted, ignoring the possibility that she was already corrupt...or in Margaret Thatcher's case, pure evil.

Reread that sentence bozo - Any lady PM who attains (gets) power has got to be (is already) corrupted irreparably like her male counterparts.

It is implied she is already corrupt. Margaret Thatcher too.
