\u201cfelame\u201d prime minister Julia Gillard in a social media slip-up. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a post to the NSW Labor Facebook page, an image was shared of Ms Gillard on the anniversary of her becoming prime minister in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>But in the tribute post, the Labor Party accidentally misspelt the word \u201cfemale\u201d as \u201cfelame\u201d before quickly correcting the
