Yea!!!! Australia's going to have a Aboriginal Female Govenor General. Howard finally realised that dirty old men aren't appropriate for the position. A female GG will be a great role model for australian women and his attempt to right the gender balance in power is comendable. He doesn't need to say "sorry" now, putting an aboriginal in possibly the most powerful position in Australian politics is a great way to right the wrongs done by past generations.

--sorry, what was that? he's appointing an old major-general...shit
