Australia has a new PM

[Vaucluse]

He's out and about in Berry or Kangaroo Valley most week-ends . . . no-one gives him grief, least of all for his lifestyle choice

Whether the PM is male or female is irrelevant.

What matters is whether the PM can do the job or not.

Julia G is probably just as bad as Rudd, if not worse.

Although is totally important to being elected PM but as you say irrelevant to whether they can do a good job. The media is making gender an issue and both sides know it. As I stated before Gillard will be voted in primarly on the womens vote and Abbot knows it which is why he is parading his daughters and wife and constantly making remarks that he is in touch with females unlike Rudd who just lap danced with them. Rudd had a touch of Kennet about him an arrogant my way or the highway and that style does not get you much longevity in politics as too many egos.

it really depends on how the PM will take care of her country more than herself..
