Julia Gillard 是澳大利亚现任总理 Kevin Rudd的副手。我一直很喜欢她,天秤座。她很低调,但强硬的一面一点不减。澳大利亚工党内一直有要她出来做领导人的呼声,不过她一直拒绝走到第一位来(她一直以忠诚著称)。刚刚看到新闻,她在Rudd 正准备去加拿大开G20会议前夕通知他她挑战他的领导人地位--大概拉到了足够的支持票。原因:
Several MPs have told The Australian Ms Gillard has put every effort into killing leadership speculation surrounding Mr Rudd, but has effectively been undermined by the Prime Minister who had questioned her loyalty.
"She has stood by him through the toughest time," said one. "She has not sought to exploit his problems for her own gain and this is how he repays her?"
工党党内明天一早(澳大利亚时间)投票。如果她赢了,她将成为澳大利亚第一个女总理,并有很大可能赢得澳洲今年的全国选举---鉴于工党治下的澳大利亚的经济不错。
在我看来,她的意义不只在于她会成为一个女总理。比刚刚卸任的智力前总统Michelle Bachelet更进一步(Bachelet离婚),她根本就没有选择婚姻和孩子。她有一个长年同居的男友,没有孩子。前几年,她的生活方式被自由党(澳大利亚保守党)一个议员质疑为不适合领导国家,因为她“有意选择不要孩子”。她的回答相当强悍而不卑不亢(不卑不亢在政治圈真的很难做到,因为总是要做戏),她说对方是个"a man of the past"----"I don't think Australian women need Bill Heffernan or anybody else to give (women) advice about how to live their lives."

"Ms Gillard, 48, now has just a few months to galvanise the party ahead of a federal election.
The ascent not only installs Australia's first female prime minister but also makes her the only unmarried occupant of The Lodge.
It is not known whether her partner, Tim Mathieson, will join her there.
The Welsh-born lawyer is also the first foreign-born prime minister since Billy Hughes, who led from 1915-1923.
Ms Gillard joins a handful of women to have become leaders of Western countries such as Germany's current Chancellor Angela Merkel, former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark and Britain's “Iron Lady” Margaret Thatcher."http://www.theaustralian.com.au/politics/labor-leadership-ballot/story-e6frgczf-1225883589139

换一换也好...换党和国家领导人, 实际上都和试婚差不多...试过才知道的.
Mr. Rudd有很多才能, 他的儿童书也写得不错. 他家是澳大利亚的大官商... 他不愁没事干的, 他干干别的事, 于己于人都是好事.
