Australia’s newly-crowned Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, seems to have been rescued from parody by a quick-thinking Sydney advertising designer who created juliagillardpm.com.au late last night.
Production designer, Mitch Hawkins, bought the domain name an hour after news agencies announced the leadership spill which saw former PM Kevin Rudd lose his post in an uncontested Labor Party vote.
A mirror site kevinruddpm was created by comedian Anthony Ackroyd which features spoof videos of the look-a-like former PM.
Meanwhile Twitter has suspended the juliagillardpm page, and a user has created KevinRuddExPM.
Computerworld has contacted Hawkins but had not responded by the time of publication.
More to come.

Since Julia Gillard was not chosen by the Australian people.
I want to say that this woman is not the right person for the top Job.
Julia Gillard has bad Moral standads by living with a partner .
Besides How can anyone Trust her nor Mr.Swan they both were disloyal to the x Prime Minister.
regarding the midnight assassination of Mr.Rudd
and Julia being disloyal as well as Mr.Swan having pretending and being Disloyal these 2 cannot be trusted..I will never vote for her.Julia to me is all plastic with a mask..
How on earth can those Labor MPS sleep at night for what they have done to Mr. Rudd. They will get their punishment one day.
Australians please wake up to this woman that cannot be trusted.

Ok todays winner for strangest double post, isssss THE D'souzea's......
Seriously, bad morale standards for having a partner, what time bubble did you just pop out of.
The rest I agree with, but the bad moral standard thing and sad double paste post reeks of right wing christian trolling.
So 2/10.

D Newman, I agree with D'souzea's comment about bad moral standards. Julia is not the right woman for the job and cannot be trusted. I do believe D'souzea can speak his/her mind about their belief's, whether they are a Christian or not. So don't go jumping all over people just because they are voicing their belief's. YOU are allowed to voice your belief's, so let D'souzea do the same...

Julia Gillard is probably not the right person for the job, since she refuses to rule out imposing the governments's secretly operated censorship filter.
But what the heck have her partner arrangements got to do with her suitability, or with Computerworld bloggers for that matter?

What democratic societies should learn lessen from Australia election 2010:
1. What productive action has PM Julia Gillard in office 100 days?
When inflation is a looming threat, with the nation's CPI growing by 3.5 per cent year on year - a 22-month high - just last month.
When ultimately slow down the country's growth and subsequently hose down the demand for Australian commodities.
The Australia historical hung parliament demonstrated the big gap of inequality society between the small educated elite groups who get highest pay by talk feast used mouth work controlling live essential resources of the country in every social platforms against the biggest less educated groups who get lowest pay by hands work squeezed by discriminative policies that sucking live blood from individual poor/less wealth off?
Voters’ voices do not hear?
Voters’ pains do not ease?
Voters’ cries do not care?
1. Poverty will not be phase out if no fairer resources to share;
2. Illness will not be reducing if no preventive measurement in real action;
3. Agriculture will not be revitalize if urbanization continuing its path;
4. Housing affordability will not be reach for young generation if government continues cashing from young generation debt by eating out the whole cake of education export revenue without plough back;
5. Manufacture industry will shrink smaller and smaller if no new elements there to power up to survive;
6. Employability will not in the sustainable mode for so long as manufacture and agriculture not going to boost.
