`I was prime minister for three years & three days. Three years & three days of resilience. Three years & three days of changing the nation. Three years & three days for you to judge.` On Wednesday, 23 June 2010, with the government in turmoil, Julia Gillard asked Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for a leadership ballot. The next day, Julia Gillard became Australia`s twenty-seventh
- & first female
- prime minister. Australia was alive to the historic possibilities. Here was a new approach for a new time. It was to last three extraordinary years. This is Julia Gillard`s chronicle of that turbulent time, a strikingly candid self-portrait of a political leader seeking to realize her ideals. It is her story of what it was like
- in the face of government in-fighting & often hostile media
- to manage a hung parliament, build a diverse & robust economy, create an equitable & world-class education system, ensure a dignified future for Australians with disabilities, all while meeting international obligations & building strategic alliances for the future. This is a politician driven by a sense of purpose
- from campus days with the Australian Union of Students, to a career in the law, to her often gritty, occasionally glittering rise up the ranks of the Australian Labour Party. In this refreshingly honest account, peppered with wry humour & personal insights, Julia Gillard does not shy away from her mistakes, admitting freely to errors, misjudgements & policy failures, as well as detailing her political successes. Here we see what lay behind the resilience & dignified courage Gillard showed as prime minister, her view of the vicious hate campaigns directed against her, & a reflection on what it means
- & what it takes
- to be a female leader in contemporary politics. Here, in her own words, Julia Gillard reveals what life was really like as Australia`s first female prime minister.
