New Labor leader

Well, unsurprisingly, Kevin Rudd is the new leader of the Australian Labor Party.
He seems an unlikely, or at least not obvious, choice as leader as he doesn't have the fiery disposition you often see in political leaders.
Now I don't spend any time watching parliament question time so I may well be wrong but having met Mr Rudd once I think I'll stick with my initial statement.
Last year he was one of the guest speakers at Christians In The Media's conference. What hasn't come out so much in the articles about Mr Rudd is his Christian background and it will be interesting to see the response if/when it does.
It's always hard for an opposition to overcome leadership turmoil less than a year before an election but you never know. The next election will be a big test for the government's controversial IR laws and it will see an election win as an endorsement of that policy.
So, if you don't like it vote against it otherwise we are stuck with it.
