First female PM?

I think I’m back in a Brissy-rut already.  It’s 1:59am, I’m bored at home, just watching Wimbledon really.  I wanted to go to Escape tonight down the Gold Coast, but didn’t really have anyone to go with.  I guess I could’ve just gone by myself, like I do sometimes to clubs here, but in a different city is kinda scary – I’d probably be the one standing there at the bar awkwardly holding my drink, both hoping someone would talk to me but also not wanting anyone to strike up a conversation either.  I suppose being alone, I really wouldn’t mind who I spoke to 🙂

Then again, it’s nice and warm here, and it’s cold outside.  Lockout in only an hour away.  What I loved about Sydney is they had no lockout.  They used to have it, but got rid of it.  If it were that situation here, I’d go out now, but there’s really no point.

So yeah, first night off of three.  It was raining all day today and is meant to be tomorrow as well.  Thank-you Mother Nature, appreciate it.

I was watching Hey Hey It’s Saturday when I saw the cross-over news feed about Kevin Rudd being challenged for the leadership by Julia Gillard.  I saw his press conference.  I am stunned.  I can’t believe how quickly this has happened, all because of some Victorian and NSW MP who turned against him?  I feel sorry for him, and feel he has been completely backstabbed by his own party.

Will find out by midday tomorrow if we have a new Prime Minister I guess!  It will just seem crazy!  I never really had anything against Kevin Rudd.  I think the mining tax is a bit extravagant, but I also realise he has been doing well to recover the debt from the Global Financial Crisis, and that’s a good way to get the budget back into surplus, but he refused to back down and I think maybe the rest of the government was afraid of losing our mining companies to overseas altogether.  He’s had a lot on his plate trying to deal with at once, such as the mines, the internet filter, the schools he was meant to build, the emissions trading scheme.

He’s a Queenslander, just like me.  I feel sorry for the guy.  He’s clearly been betrayed, backstabbed and beaten. 

Australia’s first female Prime Minister might be on the cards – wow, could be a big day is history.
