New Prime Minister

So "Kevin O'Seven's" gone. Guess it was a case of "Not Again O'Ten..."

I don't know why everybody's so relaxed though. Don't they realise Australia's now a Ruddless ship?

As for the discussion over what to call her partner and the suggestions of "First Bloke" etc, while they're amusing, they're also a depressing sign of Americanisation. We haven't called previous Prime Minister's wives "The First Lady" or anything else for that matter, so who cares what Julia's partner is called.

Now on the other hand, if Hilary was to stage a similar coup, or if Sarah was to win the next American election, then indeed it would be a question worth asking. Sadly, I'm sure "First Bloke" would not be the answer.
