[Oe List ...] Aussies, catch us up

Here's a take on the new PM from a retired work mate of Lin's when we  
were in OZ in '70's:

What do you think of our Prime Minister being rolled by his own???   
God help this country.  Beryl XO  Julia Gillard was born in Wales  
(UK) and migrated when she was 3, unmarried, in a de facto  
relationship with her hairdresser, and never wanted and still doesn't  
want children, a former industrial lawyer and a real red ragger  
Unionist.  It was disgraceful what they did to their Leader, Mr   
Kevin Rudd, so sneaky. Intrigue!   Intrigue!   He made his mistakes  
but she was privy to them and in agreement, so was Wayne Swan her new  
Deputy.  No-one in politics commands our respect these days!   Beryl

Gday folks!

It means that Tasmania (I think I'm correct here) is the only  
Australian state or territory which has not had a female governor,  
premier, or leader of the opposition.  Currently South Australia has  
a female leader of the opposition.  In the past Western Australia and  
Victoria have had female premiers, and the Northern Territory and the  
Australian Capital Territory have had female heads of government.   
And Queensland has a female premier.

BTW: Julia Gillard went to Unley High School, in Netherby, an  
Adelaide suburb, and the almer mater of numerous (ahem!) interesting  
people.
