You're not the only one making this statement Chris, so I'm
going to
debate the point to the contrary ...
Julia Gillard most certainly was elected! And by a highly democratic
process which is very widely publicly known:
Oh, I absolutely agree! The process has (for once) worked
exactly as it should have done.
Regardless, I think it would have been a nice SYMBOLIC gesture had the
Australian people put their trust in a female leader.
Sorry, a bit of a fine distinction that I should've made in the first
place.
