Well its happened. Australia has a new Prime Minister. When I went to bed last night Kevin Rudd was our Prime Minister but when I woke up the next day Julia Gillard had replaced him. And there was a new 'special edition' Woman's Day magazine on the shelves. Yes, less than 24hours after it happened a new magazine had been written, printed and distributed. Those magazine people are so efficient they could nearly run the country!
I don't mind a woman Prime Minister at all (with four daughters am I going to say anything else!) I think a Prime Minister should be elected on their merits and sex shouldn't come into it at all. However I do resent a deputy Prime Minister who a week earlier on national television promises to support and be loyal to the current Prime Minister and then a week later replaces him. Doesn't this show a lack of principles? Is this fitting from a leader?
And I believe our first woman Prime Minister has passed her first law. Yep, from now on we have to put the toilet seat down.
