First Female Prime Minister in Australia

Julia Gillard is a woman who gets what she wants. From what I've read, she's a no-nonsense, savvy politico, who is already working on negotiating with Australian miners that were about to launch a multi-million dollar anti-tax (and therefore anti-party) campaign.

Coal is the name of the game in Australia, the worldwide number one exporter of the energy source. And because of that, the country also has some of the highest amounts of carbon emissions. Well, never fear, Gillard is here! She's reopening the climate control issue, which the former Prime Minister had pushed back to 2011. This woman is a hard hitter, and we feminists LOVE that!

She's also working on increasing national security and decreasing taxes. It's easy to see that just a few days in, Gillard is already shaping up to be an admirable woman and leader. Let's wish her luck.
