Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she wouldn’t resign after reports that leaders of her Labor party urged her to do so. Even if she did, it wouldn’t revive the party’s record-low poll ratings, analysts said.
“I will be leading the Labor Party till the next election,” Gillard, the country’s first female prime minister, told reporters in Canberra today after News Ltd. newspapers yesterday said that senior government figures it didn’t identify urged her to quit. Her remarks were broadcast on Sky News.
