Oh yes, me too! Everyone else seems to hate her, but I have an odd amount of trust in her. Maybe it's just a whole female empowerment thing? Or maybe she's actually a bloody good politician... we'll see. (Note: don't trust my instincts when it comes to politics, I also got a good vibe from Mark Latham. Julia will be a baby-eating devil, knowing my luck.)

I don't know though, the Australian public, as fickle as it is, can find fault in anything and anyone. I think K. Rudd will come out of this shiny and clean and everyone except the Liberals will have forgotten it in a few weeks. : )
