Julia Eileen Gillard (born 29 September 1961) is the 27th and current Prime Minister of Australia since June 2010. She was elected to the House of Representatives seat of Lalor for the Australian Labor Party at the 1998 federal election.

Following the 2001 federal election, Gillard was elected to the shadow cabinet with the portfolios of Population and Immigration. The Reconciliation and Indigenous Affairs and the Health portfolios were added in 2003. In December 2006, Kevin Rudd was elected Labor leader and Leader of the Opposition, with Gillard as deputy leader.[2]

Gillard became the Deputy Prime Minister upon Labor's victory in the 2007 federal election, also serving as Minister for Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. On 24 June 2010, after Rudd lost the support of his party and stood aside, Gillard became federal leader of the Australian Labor Party and thus the Prime Minister.[3] She is the first female Prime Minister of Australia and the first never to have married.[4]

Gillard announced on 17 July 2010 that the next federal election would be held on 21 August 2010.[5]

Early life

Gillard was born in 1961 in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.[2] Nye Bevan remains one of her political heroes.[6] After she suffered from bronchopneumonia as a child, her parents were advised it would aid her recovery if they were to live in a warmer climate.[7] The family chose to migrate to Australia in 1966, settling in Adelaide.[8] Her parents, John and Moira, live in Pasadena, South Australia.[9] She has a sister, Alison, who is three years older.[7]

Gillard's father worked as a psychiatric nurse, while her mother worked at the local Salvation Army nursing home.[7] She and her sister attended Mitcham Demonstration School, and Julia went on to attend Unley High School.[10] She then studied at the University of Adelaide but cut short her courses in 1982 and moved to Melbourne to work with the Australian Union of Students.[11] She graduated from the University of Melbourne with Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees in 1986.[12]

In 1987, Gillard joined the law firm Slater & Gordon at Werribee, Melbourne, working in industrial law.[13] In 1990, at the age of 29, she was admitted as a partner.[6]

Political provenance

Introduced to politics in her second year at the University of Adelaide by the daughter of a State Labor Minister, Gillard joined the Labor Club and became involved in a campaign to fight federal education budget cuts.[7][8]

After moving to Melbourne, in 1983 Gillard became the second woman to lead the Australian Union of Students. She was also formerly the secretary of the left-wing organisation, Socialist Forum.[14]

From 1996 to 1998, Gillard served as Chief of Staff to John Brumby, at that time the Victorian opposition leader.[2] She was responsible for drafting the affirmative action rules within the Labor Party in Victoria that set the target of preselecting women for 35 per cent of 'winnable seats'.[15][16] She also played a role in the foundation of EMILY's List, the pro-choice fund-raising and support network for Labor women.[17]

Opposition member

Gillard was elected as Member for Lalor in the House of Representatives at the 1998 election, replacing Barry Jones, who had retired. She made her first speech to the house on 11 November 1998.[18]

Shadow Minister for Population and Immigration: 2001–2003

After Labor's defeat at the 2001 election, Gillard was elected to the shadow cabinet, with the portfolio of population and immigration. In February 2003, she was given the additional portfolios of reconciliation and Indigenous affairs.[19]

In the wake of the Tampa and Children Overboard affairs, which were partly credited with Labor's 2001 election loss, Gillard developed a new immigration policy for the Labor Party.[16]

Shadow Minister for Health: 2003–2006

Gillard was promoted to the position of Shadow Health Minister in July 2003.[20] Shortly after this, the government moved Workplace Relations Minister Tony Abbott to the health portfolio.[21] The rivalry between Abbott and Gillard often attracted attention from the media. She gained additional responsibility for managing opposition business in the House of Representatives.[22]

In the aftermath of the Labor loss at the October 2004 election, it was speculated that Gillard might challenge Jenny Macklin for the deputy leadership, but she did not do so.[23]

Gillard had been spoken of as a potential future leader of the party for some years but, until 2005, she stayed out of leadership contests. After Mark Latham resigned as leader in January 2005, however, she emerged as a possible successor along with Kim Beazley and Kevin Rudd.

After appearing on the ABC's Australian Story program in March 2006,[7][24] an Ipsos Mackay poll in April 2006, conducted for Network Ten's Meet the Press program, found that respondents would prefer Gillard to be Labor leader. She polled 32% compared with Beazley's 25% and Kevin Rudd's 18%.[25]

Although she had significant cross-factional support, she announced on 25 January 2005 that she would not contest the leadership, allowing Beazley to be elected unopposed.[26]

Deputy Leader of the Opposition

On 1 December 2006, in a cross-factional political partnership with Kevin Rudd, Gillard launched a challenge for the deputy leadership of the ALP.[27] Once Rudd was elected as leader, the incumbent deputy leader and Kim Beazley's deputy, Jenny Macklin, chose not to contest the position and on 4 December 2006 she was elected unopposed.[28] In the frontbench reshuffle following the leadership change, Gillard was allocated the Employment, Workplace Relations and Social Inclusion portfolios.[29]

Deputy Prime Minister: 2007–2010

The Labor Party won the 2007 federal election and, on 3 December 2007, Gillard was sworn in as the first female Deputy Prime Minister of Australia.[30]

In addition to the deputy prime ministership, Gillard was given responsibility for a so-called "super ministry", the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. She had three distinct portfolios: Minister for Education; Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations; and Minister for Social Inclusion. In her role as Minister for Education, Gillard travelled to Washington, DC, where she signed a deal with the US Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, to enourage improved policy collaboration in education reform between both countries.[31]

On 11 December 2007 she became the first woman in Australia's history to be in the prime ministerial role, by assuming the role of acting prime minister while Kevin Rudd attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali.[32] In the first year of government, she served as acting prime minister for 69 days during Rudd's overseas travel engagements.[33]

Gillard is a highly regarded debater, and her performances during parliamentary question time have prompted Peter van Onselen to call her "the best parliamentary performer on the Labor side".[34]

Minister for Education, Employment and Workplace Relations

Gillard removed the WorkChoices industrial relations regime introduced by the Howard government, and replaced it with the Fair Work Bill.[35] This established a single industrial relations bureaucracy called Fair Work Australia.[36]

In 2009 Gillard oversaw the government's "Building the Education Revolution" program, which allocated AU$16 billion to build new school accommodation including classrooms, libraries and assembly halls.[37][38]

Prime Minister

Main article: Gillard Government

On 23 June 2010, after meetings throughout the evening between Gillard and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, as well as factional leaders, Rudd addressed the waiting media at 10:30 pm AEST and announced that Gillard had asked him to hold a leadership ballot in the 115-member caucus the following day to determine the leadership of the Labor Party and hence the prime ministership of Australia.[39]

Rudd initially said he would challenge Gillard at the caucus. However, hours before the vote, he stood aside as leader when it became apparent that he did not have enough support to overcome Gillard. She thus won the election unopposed. At the same caucus meeting, Treasurer Wayne Swan was elected unopposed to succeed Gillard as Labor's deputy leader, and hence Deputy Prime Minister.[40]

Shortly afterward, Gillard was sworn in as the 27th Prime Minister of Australia by the Governor-General, Quentin Bryce, and Wayne Swan was sworn in as her deputy.

Later that day, in her first press conference as Prime Minister, she said that at times the Rudd Government "went off the tracks", and "I came to the view that a good Government was losing its way".[41]

As well as being the first woman and the first who has never been married, it is the first time since the Prime Ministership of Billy Hughes (1915–1923) that a Prime Minister was born overseas.[40]

In the aftermath of the leadership challenge, Bill Shorten, former trade union leader, and key Parliamentary member of the ALP Right Faction, nominated the government's handling of the insulation program; the sudden announcement of change of policy on the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme; and the way in which they had "introduced the debate" about the Resource Super Profits Tax as the key considerations which had led to a shift in support from Kevin Rudd to Julia Gillard as leader of the party.[42]

Afghan War

During her first day as Prime Minister, she reassured U.S. President Barack Obama, giving him Australia's continuing support for the military campaign in Afghanistan.[43]

Election 2010

On July 17, Prime Minister Gillard called for an election to be held on August 21.[44] In the first weeks of campaigning, she visited marginal seats in New South Wales and Queensland. Polls in the first week, gave a view that Gillard would be re-elected with an increase majority, with Newspoll showing a lead of 10 points (55–45) two party preferred and the Essential poll similarly reflecting Newspoll. Gillard then appeared on the Great Debate, against Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, where she was declared a strong winner by the Channel 9 panel. Channel 7 also favoured her, by a closer margin. [45].

Domestic policies

Health

Like her predecessor, Gillard has maintained health as a priority in her agenda. She has announced that if she is re-elected, there will be an increase of 270 placements for emergency doctors and nurses and 3,000 extra nursing scholarships over the next 10 years.[46] Mental health would be a priority in her second term, with a $277 million suicide-prevention package which would target high-risk groups.[47]

Immigration

Gillard has taken a tougher stance on asylum seekers, with plans of establishing a process centre to be possibly located in East Timor.[48] Although East Timor's parliament has voted down the plan, East Timor's President Jose Ramos-Horta, has said that he is open to the idea for a process centre.

Education

When she became Prime Minister, she gave her Education portfolio to Simon Crean. She has promised to “make education central to my economic agenda.”[49] She has also made a promise if re-elected, she is offering to extend tax-cuts to parents to help pay for school uniforms for people struggling to cover the costs of education.[50]

Climate change

Gillard has unveiled her climate change plans in Brisbane. It includes a 150-person citizens assembly to work on a consensus for climate change[51] and a crackdown on dirty power plants, a $1 billion investment into greening the electricity grid and also further investment into green technology.[52] A $2000 subsidy for cashing in old cars was also announced to reduce pollution.[53] Reaction to this by Australian businesses has been positive.[54]

Political positions

Although nominally a member of the Victorian Left faction of the Labor Party,[55] her election to Prime Minister occurred because of support from the Right factions of the party, with the hard Left planning to support Rudd in the Caucus vote had there actually been one.[56] Analyses of Jacqueline Kent's 2009 biography of Gillard suggest that her membership in the Left faction is "more organisational than ideological".[13][55] In July 2010, historian Ross Fitzgerald said, "... at least since last year Gillard has sought to reposition herself more towards the Labor Right."[57]

On population policy, Gillard is against a "big Australia", as opposed to predecessor Kevin Rudd who was in favour of population growth.[58] She emphasises the need for sustainability, saying "Australia should not hurtle down the track towards a big population".[58][59]

Gillard has expressed a pro-choice position on abortion saying that "Women without money would be left without that choice or in the hands of backyard abortion providers" and that she understood "the various moral positions" regarding abortions.[60]

Gillard has made clear she does not support the legalisation of gay marriage,[61] saying that she believes "the Marriage Act is appropriate in its current form, that is recognising that marriage is between a man and a woman".

Personal life and views

Gillard's partner since 2006[4] is Tim Mathieson.[62] She had previous relationships with union officials Michael O'Connor and Bruce Wilson and fellow Federal Labor MP Craig Emerson.[63] She has never married and has had no children.[64]

Gillard was brought up in the Baptist tradition, but is not religious. In a 2010 interview when asked if she believed in God, Gillard stated: "No I don't ... I'm not a religious person ... [I'm] a great respecter of religious beliefs but they're not my beliefs."[65][66]

She lives in the south western Melbourne suburb of Altona[1] and is a public supporter of the Western Bulldogs Australian football club.[67]
