I can’t remember an election campaign where voters have seen so little of the candidates’ better half. So what is going on? Even the erratic Mark Latham travelled around Australia with the gorgeous Janine Lacy in tow. Yet, so far, apart from the odd appearance in Canberra, Ms Gillard’s boyfriend of four years has not been seen. If Australia’s first female PM is formally elected by the people on August 21, she will make history by being the first person in the top job to be unmarried and living in The Lodge. (The only other PM not technically married while in office was the then recently widowed John McEwen, who held the top job from late 1967 to early 1968. He married soon after.) feedback@thepunch.com.au (Helen McCabe) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/come-on-julia-lets-see-more-of-tim/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/come-on-julia-lets-see-more-of-tim/#item3650 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:56:02 +0000 Helen McCabe | Author bios | The Punch
