So Australia’s gone an gotten itself a new Prime Minister on the eve of the Federal Election, and its a Female PM with Julia Gillard (and the rest of Labor) changing their minds about not challenging Kev for the top job prior to the election. “Kevin Rudd will lead Labor to the next election” they’ve been saying for weeks, only for him to be thrown from the roof in the final day of Parliament before the election.
So, yes we have a Female PM, but for how long? I can’t help feeling that Labor’s little stunt has hurt their re-election chances more than helping it, even if Julia is more popular that KRudd. Only time will tell.
