Anchor: Expectations in Australia are high for a new general election. The Australian prime minister may set the date for the election this weekend. Content：Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is expected to set a date soon for an upcoming federal election. Gillard must visit Governor General Quentin Bryce to formally request an election. Both Gillard and Bryce are the first women to hold their offices. Australian media expect them to meet on Saturday. Gillard was in the southern island state of Tasmania on Friday. She did not answer questions about the possible upcoming election, but conceded that it would be a tough campaign. [Julia Gillard, Australian Prime Minister]: "I'm not taking anything for granted. We face a tough, close contest." Meanwhile, opposition leader Tony Abbott was in the northern state of Queensland, where he gave an indication of one of his possible campaign points. [Tony Abbott, Australia Opposition Leader]: "What the Australian people need is stability and certainty and only the coalition can deliver that." Abbott was alluding to the fact that Gillard took office only after former prime minister Kevin Rudd was ousted from the position by members of his own party. The robust Australian economy, which dodged recession in 2009 and emerged strong from the global financial crisis, may be key in the 2010 election. The Labor government claims much of the credit for the economy, and is counting on its good health to secure a re-election.

-Emotional Rudd gives way as Gillard becomes Australia's first female Prime Minister- A sudden revolt within Australia's ruling party has given the country its first ever female prime minister. Julia Gillard had been deputy to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd since their Labor Party swept to power in a landslide election victory in 2007. In an unexpected move she challenged Rudd to hold a leadership ballot only months away from an expected election. "I asked my colleagues to make a leadership change, a change because I believed that a good government was losing its way. And because I believe fundamentally that the basic education and health services that Australians rely on, and their decent treatment at work, is at risk at the next election. I love this country and I was not going to sit idly by and watch an incoming opposition cut education, cut health and smash rights at work. My values and my beliefs have driven me to step forward to take this position as prime minister." Rudd acknowledged that the party's factional power brokers had lost faith in him and did not contest the leadership at a party meeting, leaving Gillard to be elected unopposed. An emotional Rudd gave his final speech in the prime minister's courtyard at Parliament House. "I was elected by the Australian people as prime minister of this country to bring back a fair go for all Australians, and I have given my absolute best to do that. I've given it my absolute all. In that spirit, I'm proud of the ...
www.timesofearth.com CANBERRA - Julia Gillard has become Australia's first female prime minister after the ruling Labor party dumped Kevin Rudd as leader. Rudd won a landslide election victory less than three years ago but support for his government has plummeted in opinion polls since April over a series of unpopular policy moves, and his erstwhile deputy Gillard challenged him to hold a leadership ballot on Wednesday. On Thursday, Rudd acknowledged that the party's factional power brokers had lost faith in him and did not contest the leadership at a party meeting, leaving Gillard to be elected unopposed. "I asked my colleagues to make a leadership change because I believed that a good government was losing its way. I was not going to sit idly by," Gillard said on Thursday before being formally sworn in as prime minister by Australia's first woman governor-general, Quentin Bryce, within hours of the party ballot. "It's with the greatest humility, resolve and enthusiasm that I sought the endorsement of my colleagues," she added. Since Labor is the majority party in parliament, Gillard's swearing in as prime minister was a formality after securing the party leadership. Wayne Swan was elected -- also unopposed -- as Gillard's deputy and retains his portfolio as treasurer. He will to fly to Canada on Friday for a summit of Group of 20 major economies in Rudd's place. Gillard has yet to announce any other ministers in her new cabinet. While offering some praise for the man ...
Who'd of thought it? A red head as Australian Prime Minister!
Julia Eileen Gillard (born 29 September 1961) is the 27th Prime Minister of Australia. She is Australia's first female prime minister. Gillard became the Leader of the Australian Labor Party at the 2010 Australian Labor Party leadership election on 24 June 2010 and was sworn in as prime minister later that day. She had previously served as Deputy Prime Minister of Australia under Kevin Rudd. On 11 December 2007, she became the first woman in Australia's history to assume the prime ministerial role when she was the acting prime minister while Rudd attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali. Gillard is also the first foreign-born prime minister since Billy Hughes, who served from 1915 to 1923, and Australia's first prime minister who has never married. Gillard has been a Labor Party member of the House of Representatives since the 1998 federal election. She represents the Division of Lalor, west of Melbourne.
