The article discusses the policies and plans being launched by Australia's new prime minister, Kevin Rudd, who was elected in a resounding victory in November 2007. The article explains that Rudd is looking to reverse many of the policies implemented by his predecessor, John Howard. Because of Australia's lagging economy, the article notes that it may be difficult for Rudd to make his campaign promises of putting more money into health and education, and to phase in tax cuts worth $28 billion.
