Julia Gillard to take over from Jeff Kennett as chair of beyondblue

JULIA Gillard has landed a new gig with beyondblue.
The former Labor Prime Minister is taking over from Jeff Kennett as chair of the support group.
Kennett, the former Liberal Victorian Premier, hands over the reins at the end of June.
Ms Gillard — who was elected unanimously by the beyondblue Board of Directors — is the first former PM to run a not-for-profit organisation since Malcolm Fraser launched CARE Australia in 1987.
“My father was a psychiatric nurse so I grew up with an awareness of and commitment to mental health causes,” Ms Gillard said in a statement.
“I’m absolutely delighted that Jeff and the board have the confidence in me to take over as chair of an organisation that has made such a difference in the lives of so many Australians, but there is only ever going to be one founder and without Jeff Kennett there would not be a beyondblue at all.”

It's great to see Julia giving to society. Contrast that to another ex-PM Abbott sniping from the back bench.
