Female PM!

[liresius]

W00t! Yeah I know with party politics it's not that much of a change, but at least that 'last' high ceiling has finally been broken through for Australian women, and thankfully we are not the last among the English speaking western nations. I know KR worked his arse off, but he was too much of a cardboard cut out fake for me - he's a Queenslander

It's all been rather exciting and I don't even like politics much.

Hey where did you find that Vali Myers art for your icon? I can find very little of her stuff on the web because she made an effort to keep it off. I loved her. When I first got to Melbourne we were introduced and I used to go dancing with her and some other people on Friday nights.

Yeah, I feel about the same - thoroughly jaded about politics in general, but I can't help feeling excited we have a WOman red head PM!

Think I made the icon from Outre Gallery specifically here (scroll down).

The first I'd heard of her was in November 2008 ... here on Verbatim (abc.net.au radio)
