What would the 10-year-old Julia Gillard think of you today?
I think she’d be pretty amazed. There’s no way she could have imagined any of this.
What is the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?
It’s hard to pinpoint, as there are so many people that have supported me over the years. However, I do receive a lot of kind letters from members of the public, particularly when I first became Prime Minister.
What trait can’t you tolerate in others?
People who are rude to others they think are beneath them.

With so much attention on your hair, have you ever wondered if blondes really do have more fun?
No, I’m convinced redheads do OK. Go the rangas!
