"What does Australia have in common with Ireland, Finland, Germany, Liberia, India, Argentina, Bangladesh, Iceland, Lithuania, Croatia, Switzerland, Kyrgyzstan, Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago? No, it's not the letter ''A''. What we have in common is that our leader is a woman."
(The Diary, The Sydney Morning Herald, 25 June).
A day is a long time in politics. Just before 10.30 pm Wednesday night, Kevin Rudd announced that there had been a formal call for a change in ALP leadership; then, well before 10.30 am the next morning we learn we have a new prime minister - Julia Gillard.

Politics aside, this is a historic day, and one that the children of our current students, who are working away in their classes right now, will study when they are at school. So kids, remember where you where when you heard the news - one day your own children will ask you about it!
