JULIA Gillard has shown her mettle during this campaign, retaining her composure, staying on message, braving internal upheavals. More significant are the signs of a new feminine philosophy of politics that may stamp Australia's future. Gillard may be as tough as Margaret Thatcher but her beliefs are far distant from the Iron Lady. Gillard is formidable because her personality radiates two qualities: she is competent and she is compassionate. But it goes beyond this.
