Now wouldn't it be interesting if O'Neill started giving the Aussies political advice?
AUSTRALIA: RUDD TO BE MADE PRIME MINISTER TODAY
on Thursday, 27 June 2013. Posted in News
Kevin Rudd is expected to be sworn in as Australian Prime Minister by the Governor General Quentin Bryce this morning around 9:30am (AEST) following Julia Gillard’s ousting as Labor leader.
Six key ministers also resigned in the aftermath.
Rudd’s new deputy, Anthony Albanese, who is replacing Wayne Swan is also expected to be present at the meeting to be sworn in also by Governor General.
In a leadership drama last night, Rudd defeated Gillard 57-45 in a party-room vote, but the switch came with significant political fallout as six ministers reigned, including Treasurer and deputy leader Wayne Swan.
Rudd's promotion marks a stunning turnaround for the former prime minister and polling suggests the election scheduled for September will be more closely fought than was expected.
Gillard will return to the backbench and will leave politics altogether at the election.
