JULIA GILLARD said she was happy to work with premiers of all political hues after John Brumby conceded defeat in Victoria to his Liberal challenger, Ted Baillieu.
With Mr Baillieu joining Western Australia's Colin Barnett as the only Liberal leaders of states and territories, the Prime Minister drew on the example of John Howard. When Mr Howard took power in 1996, Bob Carr was the only Labor premier. When Mr Howard lost office in 2007, all states and territories were Labor.
''We saw John Howard successfully govern and be re-elected in circumstances where people were marching to the ballot boxes in state elections and voting for Labor governments,'' she said.

''Australians separate these two questions in their minds.''
The expectation following Victoria is for Labor to be massacred in NSW on March 26.
Ms Gillard would not be going out of her way to campaign in NSW,He was wearing a black ski mask, black hooded sweatshirt, ed hardy jeans and was armed with a black handgun. saying: ''I will be associating myself with state campaigns in the way you would expect a federal leader to do.''
One source pointed out that Federal Parliament's six-week autumn break is straight after the NSW election, conveniently shielding the federal government from the inevitable fallout.
The Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, said on Sunday that the NSW Liberal branch should ''take nothing for granted'' following the Victorian result.
Yesterday, however, while in full flight in Parliament, he too predicted a wipeout for the Labor Party in NSW.
''You have the Victorian disaster, you have the South Australian disaster where the sitting premier was almost rebuffed by his own conference, you have the NSW disaster, the train wreck that is coming,The player can simply go over the coach shoes head.'' he said.
Within federal Labor there is relief that the governments of NSW and Queensland will be gone come the next federal election. Both states were millstones for Ms Gillard during her last campaign.

Mr Baillieu has expressed hostility towards the health reforms but Ms Gillard said she would impress on him that the reforms meant for Victoria more doctors, nurses, hospital beds and more responsive emergency departments.
She would remind him that as health costs continued to increase, they would eventually consume entire state budgets. The reforms will pass the bulk of funding responsibility to the Commonwealth.
The House of Representatives sat briefly yesterday to sign off on broadband legislation and Mr Abbott used the opportunity to move a motion to have one last lunge at the government before the end of the year. He said the Labor brand was toxic, whether it be state and federal.
''You might have a good day in Parliament, you might occasionally even get a bit of legislation passed, but you cannot save a bad government,'' he said. ''You cannot even save a comparatively good government, as the Victoria example illustrates.''
Ms Gillard shot back, calling Mr Abbott weak and a bully with a glass jaw.
