Holy Shit!I spend the morning doing the vacuuming and making a chocolate slice for my daughter's last day of term tomorrow, then I sat down at my poota for lunch and there's been a bloody coup!
Well a bloodless coup. Kevin Rudd, the (now Former Australian Prime Minister) has just been booted out of office after only 2 and a half years by his ambitious deputy. At least Gordon bided his time for a decade.
Even better, she's a ginger bolshie Welsh woman. Says it all really.
Fuck me. That really is sticking it to the Man.

WellI don't particularly think she was ambitious. She could have taken him on and won any time in the last two months. I get the feeling that she was actually quite reluctant to kick him out on his arse, but she saw that he'd lost all support, from both ALP members and the public, and figured that stepping in to take the reins rather than letting him self-destruct even more was the best thing for the party.
But either way, it's still a historic day. Our first female PM. Let's just hope she runs things better than yours did...
(EDIT: Although we do have a few godforsaken frozen islands sitting down in the Southern Ocean, if the Argentines feel like having another war for old times' sake)
