Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard will move out of her official Canberra residence, in part due to some possums in her home’s roof. It has been known for some time that Gillard and partner Tim Mathieson will have to move out of The Lodge, which is more than 80-years-old, as it undergoes vital repairs, including the removal of dangerous cloth wiring and asbestos.
