Kevin Rudd has prevailed in a dramatic Labor leadership ballot, defeating Julia Gillard and paving the way for him to return to the prime ministership.
Labor caucus returning officer Chris Hayes informed the nation that Mr Rudd won the leadership ballot 57-45.

So, Ruddy's back. Betcha Libs win the next election. Gotta admit, Abbott played smart for once (or he listened to his advisors), by saying he wouldn't lead a vote of no confidence, he opened the way for this to happen, ensuring him a decent chance to win the election.
Australian politics is crap.
