Image via WikipediaAustralia could have a Kiwi born first lady... If Tony Abbott is elected as prime minister, Australia could have a Kiwi first lady, from my neck of the woods here in the Hutt Valley, just a few miles outside of the New Zealand capital, Wellington City.
Margie Abbott was born, raised and educated here in Lower Hutt city. By all accounts she was an excellent scholar and enjoyed sports during those days. She moved to Sydney in 1983 and met her future husband, Tony Abbott,in a pub there. He was born in England and moved to Australia as a youngster. The Abbotts have three daughters who get their fair share of Kiwi cultural education, including the Maori haka.
Known as the 'Mad Monk' by his political opponents and a minister in the John Howard administration, Tony Abbott is on the verge of becoming prime minister of Australia, if the pundits have it right. If not he will continue as the leader of the opposition there in Canberra, because he has brought his party close to election as government this time.
