I guess poor Julia now knows how Kev. felt when he was the sacrificial lamb three years ago. First mistake was going into federal politics in the first place. Surely, in her union work, she must've had some inkling of the snake-pit she was entering? Whatever, second error was becoming putty in the hands of the so-called 'face-less' people dictating party affairs (quite badly IMO). Lastly, the lady seemed to change her personality once enshrouded in the august cloak of PM. In her earlier front bench guise, she impressed me with her fiery pursuit of debate without losing a sense of logic or knowledge of what she was talking about. All that was lost in a stilted manner of speech which was mostly neither forceful nor convincing. Strangely, there was a flash of the old Julia in her concession speech last night.Too late babe!
Otherwise, I think JG was quite effective in what she was able to achieve in a terrifyingly difficult time of 'hung' parliament. And, of course, nobody else can ever be the 'first female Prime Minister of Australia' which is one element of fame that she can be very proud and deserving of.
Not 'Kevin from heaven' or the 'mad Monk' leading(?) the other mob can assume that mantle.
