| Australian prime minister Julia Gillard's life is hectic, although much of her time is taken up trying to politely hang up on former Australian prime minister Paul Keating, who keeps phoning her with unsolicited advice. Julia's non-celebrity partner, Tim Mathieson's life is anything but hectic; he fills in time by running household errands (Lodge staff cover the gardening and house-cleaning). Julia and Tim try to reserve space on the calendar to be alone together, but their "date night" keeps getting rescheduled, this time because Julia has to invite the three independents (Bob Katter, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott) to the Lodge for dinner, to discuss their demand to prohibit imported food. Problem is, the Lodge's beer fridge is filled with imported beer, and the local butcher only stocks (very expensive) imported meat (this being Canberra). Meanwhile some neighborhood kids get hold of a gun which a member of the PM's security team, parked in the street, had placed on the car dashboard so he could sleep more comfortably. |

| Tim is cutting Julia's hair at a local school to promote an apprenticeships program for Muslim youths. When Tim borrows Julia's car to drive to the school, her security team follows it thinking she is driving. Meanwhile Julia is trapped in the bathroom when the handle breaks, although she manages to climb out a window and hail a cab driven by Afghan refugee Aarif who gets lost amongst Canberra's numerous roundabouts. When it is realised that the Prime Minister is missing, Tim is grilled by a hard-nosed federal police agent who is wracked with guilt after former Prime Minister Harold Holt went missing on his watch. |
