Re: So, we're buggered.
Australia's First Female Prime Minister will be an incompetent puppet.

Re: So, we're buggered.
I don't think Julia Gillard will be a puppet and she is certainly not incompetent. I got a very good impression of her whenever I say her on TV or read something in the newspaper.
I don't think it was the right decision to axe Kevin Rudd, though. Both NSW state labour
and federal liberals :I-love-pork: keep doing it and both ended up with no competent leader left. It is disappointing to see this happen with our government, too. I think they should have all backed Kevin and bring him back up in the poll.

This whole education revolution perfectly demonstrates her incompetence, and her naivety.roter-kaiser wrote:I don't think Julia Gillard will be a puppet and she is certainly not incompetent. I got a very good impression of her whenever I say her on TV or read something in the newspaper.

Re: So, we're buggered.
I saw some news of this on various atheist blogs trumpeting that Australia's new PM is "non-religious" and that this was a triumph of sorts, but none of them mentioned what her actual politics were. Are you folks getting an idiot who happens to be secular-leaning? (Remember, even if she turns out to be a terrible leader, console yourselves by chanting, "At least Sarah Palin can't run for office here".
Who needs a signature anyway?

She was voted in by the power brokers of the right-wing faction of the Labour Party, so democracy has triumphed!Rum wrote:She wasn't actually voted in, right? We aren't talking sudden female equality stuff in Oz.. Sheilas and all....

Yes, but at least ours only needs to deal with uneasy power-sharing arrangements within one party, not two!RuleBritannia wrote:Australia has a Prime Minister?
