POLITICS
SCOOP
Australia’s first
female PM:
one month on
SO HOW'S JULIA GILLARD
DOING IN THE HOT
SEAT DOWN UNDER?
On 24 June, Julia Gillard
became Australia’s first female
PM after Kevin Rudd stepped
aside and she was elected
without a ballot. Stylist
reviews her first month…
BIG WORDS
“I didn’t set out to crash my
head against any glass ceilings,”
warned a defiant Gillard at
her first official conference.
However, an Australian paper
called her ‘the realisation of
the great feminist dream’.
POLITICAL MINEFIELD
A week into her new role,
Gillard risked alienating the
powerful Australian mining
industry by introducing a
30% tax on miners’ profits.
Reaction was split, with the
mining community hoping for
a reversal after the election
and many environmental
supporters accusing her
of not going far enough.
THE BIG ISSUE
Four days later, Gillard took
a hard-line stance on asylum
seekers, suggesting there should
be a new processing centre
created in East Timor in order
to deal with the large numbers
of ‘boat people’ arriving illegally.
It’s one of Australia’s most
contentious subjects and one
which her opponents are
questioning her ability to solve.
THE ELECTION
The PM made the brave call
on 16 July to call an election for
21 August, when the public will
decide if she remains in charge.
Polls consistently put Gillard
ahead, but with a potential
life-span of two months, she
could be among the world’s
shortest-serving PMs.
