And as Governor General since 2008.

So the Queen of Australia, the Governor General of Australia, and the Prime Minister of Australia are now all sheilas!

>>>>”So the Queen of Australia, the Governor General of Australia, and the Prime Minister of Australia are now all sheilas!”

lol! A few minutes ago I was thinking exactly the same thing. Must be a hat trick for the “sheilas”!

BTW, what a bizarre title: “Gillard takes power in bloodless coup” ! Were they expecting something similar to Iran or kyrgystan in Australia?!! However, metaphorically & politically it must have been a bit bloody... for Kevin Rudd!

On a serious note, I just finished watching Gillard’s first speech and Q & A session with the media. I think she has a professional/good track record and is quite articulate. I am not an ALP supporter or voter, but I don’t think Gillard can afford to implement any far left policies, regardless of her ideological background which you rightly pointed out.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see how matters develop in coming months before an election is called. After all it is the public vote/choice that really counts, and as they say, even 24 hrs can be a long time in politics.

And two of them are British. If the GGs were always still British appointees we could have had another hat-trick going on there...
