So it's all progressive, historic and what have you, that Australia now has their first female prime minister. It's just too bad it had to happen like this.By the way the woman on the left is Julia Gillard the new PM, the one on the right is Quentin Bryce the governor general of Australia and she has the power to fire the PM*. It's only happened once. How fricken weird is Australian politics?
*simplified version, I may or may not know what I'm talking about.

I think it's interesting that I haven't really heard anything about this on the American news. That probably says something.*
*What it probably says is that I don't watch the news that much because I don't watch the news that much.
Nah I don't think Australia rates much internationally, we're a small little island with weird accents!
I haven't heard about this either.
I did just read about German's new first lady being a "tattooed minx." What does her having a tattoo and taking care of her appearance have to do with her husband's politics?
Things like this infuriate me. Who cares that the PM's boyfriend is a hairdresser?! Or what her hair looks like? Ahhhhhhhh!
You'd have thought we'd come further than this by now, but I'm not sure if the double standards will ever not exist.
Nice use of the word minx though.
