It’s a historic day because Australia has announced Julia Gillard as its first ever female prime minister after Kevin Rudd stepped down as the leader of the Labor Party earlier today. It’s amazing to see how the country is reacting; and to get up-to-the-minute insights into how the change of leadership has impacted the people, I’ve turned to Twitter to gauge the breadth of responses.
Some people are stoked with the results
Other peeps aren’t so happy
Some are still in a state of disbelief
And some people have just gone stupid
Demands are already being made of the new leader
IT-related lols are requisite commentary with Twitter losers users
There will always be some anti-woman joker providing ‘hilarious’ commentary
Then someone else who suffers from Twitter tourette’s
And, of course, there’s always someone to focus on the real hard hitting issues
If you’ve got anything to say about the day’s events, please take it away in the comments section.
