Usurp the throne!

Oh historic day. Gillard glides into the role of Prime Minister so swiftly as to draw attention to the knife stuck between the ribs of her ailing predecessor. It's a fine line.

I think it's sad, and somewhat backward, that this is our first 'Female Prime Minister'. She clothes the ascent of a female to the democratic throne in the scent of Claudius.

The question remains: who is our Hamlet? And who exactly is our Fortinbras?
