Is this a new Australia?

Hmmm, something must be in the air down under! It's a pretty historic week in history in Australia.

Our first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard being sworn in by our first female Governor General Quentin Bryce... WOW! 

PM on left and GG on right

I didn't think I'd see the day the world progressed like this. New Zealand has their female PM, the US had the choice of Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama and they elected the first black president. Now it's Australia's turn to prove they've climbed up the evolutionary chain. 

Ok, whilst it wasn't a voted result by the public it was a party decision. In Australia we don't actually vote for our head of country we vote for the party that we think will do the best job and they in turn chose their puppet. It's not the greatest systems on earth but then again, what kind of leadership system is? They all have their flaws.

Actually Australia is a bit more progressive than I remember as we have several women in power right now and in the past. Carmen Lawrence was the Western Australian Premier, Anna Bligh currently rules Queensland and now Kristine Keneally leads New South Wales....wow a few more women in power and we'll be an all female powerhouse! Who said women shouldn't vote?! Now they're making the decisions!!!
