Picture: Stewart Allen Source: PerthNow FEW mums can boast the Prime Minister on their list of well-wishers after the birth of their child. But that's the political pull of Perth-based Sky News presenter Ashleigh Gillon. Gillon and her husband Aaron Hood welcomed their daughter Phoebe Rose Hood into the world at Subiaco's St John of God Hospital on Anzac Day. Julia Gillard wrote on Twitter: "Congrats Ash, beautiful name for a beautiful bub. "Barnaby Joyce congratulated me on my pregnancy during a live interview on Sky News, so Phoebe has had a very public welcome to the world," Gillon said. She added: "Dad is completely besotted with his little girl. All new mothers will tell you it's not easy, but watching your baby grow and discover the world is such a precious time. I just love her to bits. The new mum describes her life now as a whole new world. "I've gone from the fast-paced world of Sky News, with bright lights and blowdrys, to changing nappies and breastfeeding," she said. But Gillon is hoping to make a cameo for Sky's federal election coverage. "I'd find it very difficult to sit at home watching it unfold after living and breathing politics for so many years," she said.
