What was Julia Gillard’s early life like?
Julia Gillard was born in Barry, Wales. Her date of birth is September 29, 1961. Her parent’s names were John and Moira.

As I mentioned earlier, Julia Gillard and her family immigrated from Wales when Julia was a child, as Julia suffered from bronchopneumonia (a sickness which affects the lungs). Julia’s parents were told that if they moved to a warmer country, Julia would get better. So that is why they moved to Adelaide from Barry, Wales in 1966. Her father and mother got jobs in Australia: her mother, Moira, worked at the Salvation Army retirement home. Her father, John, was a psychiatric nurse.
What first schools did Julia Gillard and her sister go to when they arrived in Australia?
Alison and Julia Gillard both went to Mitcham Demonstration School as young kids, and then they went to Unley High School. Alison Gillard went to school as soon as they arrived in Australia, while Julia had a year until school. Julia says that Alison had it harder. “But I think in some ways it was probably harder on her because she was that bit older. She went to school with a Welsh accent, all of that kind of stuff.” I got this statement from Julia Gillard Interview Transcript.

Julia Gillard is now living in Adelaide with her dog, Reuben and her partner, Tim Mathieson. In an interview with The Drum, Julia Gillard states that: “...that if I exhibited too much emotion, that that, as a woman, would be judged very harshly, not only in relation to me, but to women’s capacity in general.” Julia Gillard believes (from what I heard in the interview) that women have the right to be stronger than men, and that some women are even less emotional than some men. In a different interview, with Fortune Magazine, however, Julia states that she knew when she became Prime Minister that when she left Parliament she would not be Prime Minister. When Julia Gillard became Prime Minister, she had to go to the Governor General to get permission to start a new government with a new Prime Minister. FACT: The Governor General at the time, Quentin Bryce, was the first female Governor General.
