JULIA Gillard's long-time partner believes the former prime minister's three years in office will be remembered fondly - in time.
Tim Mathieson said it was "a bit of a shock" witnessing the overthrow of his partner on Wednesday night while watching the rugby league State of Origin match with his children.
But he said he and Ms Gillard were "all good" and that life moves on.
"She's really good, a little sad, the household is sad but probably slightly relieved as well," he told the Nine Network while out walking the couple's dog Reuben.
Mr Mathieson said Ms Gillard had many great achievements during her time in office and he hoped Prime Minister Kevin Rudd gave Opposition Leader Tony Abbott a run for his money.
"She's done some incredible things which I'm sure in time will be shown in much better light than has been lately," he said.
"It's time to move on and I wish Kevin all the best as well and hope that he gets out there and gives Tony a really good run for his money."
Aside from enjoying living in The Lodge and Kirribilli House, Mr Mathieson says he's had some amazing experiences as the prime minister's partner.
"It's been an amazing three years personally for me, having gone to the royal wedding and met the Queen in Buckingham Palace, gone to Washington (to) meet the Obamas, gone to China, that sort of stuff," he said.
And for the first time in three years, Mr Mathieson said he and Ms Gillard would have a quiet "kick-back" on the weekend and not pick up a paper.
