In a political career that began in 1983, Bob Brown has been the ubiquitous face of green politics in Australia. He took his first seat in the Tasmanian parliament on countback after the resignation of…
By all accounts, in person Prime Minister Julia Gillard is relaxed, funny, engaging and a good listener. Her ministers say she is tough, masters briefs well, leads, and takes decisions. On top of that…
