Anna Maria Bligh the 50 year old Premier of the Australian state of Queensland, under enormous pressure resulting from the flood inundation of the state displayed a raw and emotional performance at a flood briefing. Shedding tears as a media conference Bligh called on the Queensland residents to stay strong in the face of the flood devastation, reminding them of who they are “We’re the people that they breed tough, north of the border. We’re the ones that they knock down, and we get up again.” Bligh has herself been praised for her tireless work during the natural disaster that struck her state, and for her honesty, compassion and leadership. Bligh is renown for her straight talking without the usual spin that generally accompanies politician speak.
