AUSTRALIA WELCOMES
FIRST FEMALE PM: Julia Gillard became the first female Australian Prime
Minister Thursday after former Labor leader Kevin Rudd stepped
down. Rudd, faced with rising unpopularity after he abandoned a
carbon-reduction plan and imposed a new mining tax, has now become
the shortest-serving Australian Prime Minister since 1972. Gillard
is considered more left-wing than Rudd, but lawmakers believe she
has a better chance of gaining more voters for the embattled Labor
Party since she has a warmer personality than her predecessor.
Gillard will have a tough challenge in the next general election,
however: Several mining companies are expected to pump money and
energy into the Conservative Party to have the mining tax
repealed.
