Interesting to me is another "only in Australia" aspect to today's development.
Is there another country in this world that someone can immigrate to (as 10 Pound Poms?) with their 3 year old daughter in tow and have her end up as Prime Minister of that country? Not even the Americans can claim that. Their top (wo)man must be born in the country. (Although some believe that Barak Obama might have side-stepped that particular requirement witha bit of ceative birth certificating.)
