Ellis spoke at our Pols class last semester and she's, umm, a bit of a ditz.
Apparently inspired to join Labor because her poster presentation to the class in yr12, about "Australia", made her realise that Labor was a significant party.
She then became an unwilling student activist on campus and thought "what the hell" when party preselection came up.
She finds Parliament "really interesting" and the I.R. laws make her "so angry".
The rest of her talk comprised of repetitive apologies for "going on my little rant"
Gillard's raw intellect and Maggie factor make up for her hotness lackings imo
