PRIME ministers ,AUSTRALIAN politics & government, 1945- - Abstract
The article discusses the victory of Kevin Rudd over the Liberal Party's John Howard to become Australia's Prime Minister. Howard had led the Liberal party to its worst rout in its 63-year history with his divisive approach to politics. Rudd handpicked his first ministry on November 29, 2007, not following the tradition that right and left party factions should be consulted first. The article also presents public opinions of Rudd and what he will have to face as prime minister.
