Julia Gillard to Western Australia as Kevin Rudd heads to South Korea PM Julia Gillard is heading to Western Australia after another disastrous poll for the Government. Julia Gillard, pictured with Leader of the House Anthony Albanese yesterday, is off to WA today for "important things." JULIA Gillard is heading to Western Australia for the first time in more than four months and since Labor's pounding in the state election. Julia Gillard and her newly-formed ministry will have a community cabinet public forum at a high school in Thornlie, in Perth's outer suburbs, tomorrow. She will touch down mid-morning and is expected to visit a school in Rockingham today. Angry voters dump Labor over Rudd farce Asked if she would be governing or campaigning in WA, Ms Gillard said she would be doing "a series of important things." "As Prime Minister I travel around the nation to meet with local communities," she told ABC radio today. Meanwhile, Kevin Rudd has begun a four-nation trip starting in the South Korean capital, Seoul. Mr Rudd last week ruled out ever standing again for the Labor leadership after one minister was sacked and three others resigned over their roles in an aborted tilt against Ms Gillard.
