Re: [powderworks] New PM - What now for PG?

i guess it depends on what you mean by "important".

men and women think and behave differently so in this sense, yes, it is important. but it is in no way a guarantee of any kind or meant to imply some sort of inherent "betterness"

it is just another characteristic (same as religion or temperament), albeit a pretty obvious one to spot :)

... but it makes a good media story

Does anyone else think it's not really important what gender the PM is?

And as for all the whinging about Gillard getting to be PM without leading the party at an election, it's hardly unprecedented. Keating got there the same way.

Gillard, however, may also find herself in the record books as a very short-staying PM.

Does anyone else think it immensely sad that Australia's first female PM is unelected?
