I wasn't embarrassed. The speech did the job it was meant to, just as John Howard spoke, if their aussie accents grate on you and you live in Oz, tough, you better get used to it.

I'm Australian and I've rarely heard an aussie accent as bad as Julia's, my 12 year old actually thought she was a Kath and Kim type comedian when we were living overseas and she heard her speak.

As for her accent, not great, but I am glad that Australia can vote for someone despite their accent....one of our charms I think unlike many countries who exclude some talented people to a greater extent based on their accent - and promote some whose talents don't match the desirability of their accent. You know who I'm talking about ;) |

Even if the person who ends up being Prime Minister is standing in your electorate and you vote for them, you would have still only voted for them as your member of parliament, especially in Australia where the parliamentary leader can change at very little notice. |
