Australia has a Female PM!!
Kevin Rudd(who is currently speeching) has stepped down as PM in the face of a challenge by Deputy PM Julia Gillard. She is out first female Pm since we became a country in 1901. WIll she win the Federal Election and the people's vote? Who knows but until then...
We have a Ranga for a PM!
In smaller, personal news, I start an industry placement with South Adelaide Football Club in the next few weeks which, from my meeting this morning, sounds fantastic. The Marketing Manager seems great. Flexible work hours, flexible with what he wants, open to ideas, willing to give me freedom and responsibility as well as page space which is exciting. I’m hopeful this will be a really fun and useful placement.
I also submitted a small column to my university magazine, Libertine, and the editor ‘loved’ it, so I will have a minimum of one column, maybe two depending on submissions, in the next issue. I’m proud.
