Julia Gillard’s authority was weakened, rather than strengthened, by the manner in which she came to power.  She was installed by “faceless men”, with little input from those with considerable investment in the Labor Party, in what appeared to be an overnight coup.  She is on record as being reluctant to step up to the top job, believing she was not quite ready. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Anthony Howard) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/no-triple-a-rating-for-gillard/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/no-triple-a-rating-for-gillard/#item6655 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:50:44 +0000 Anthony Howard | Author bios | The Punch
