Kevin Rudd has finally confirmed he will take on Julia
Gillard at a party room leadership vote on Monday as he tries
to make a comeback as prime minister.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard put her job on the
line today, announcing a leadership ballot in hopes of
quashing a comeback by Kevin Rudd, the colleague she ousted
in a Labor Party coup nearly two years ago.
A clash between protesters and Australian police that forced
bodyguards to rush Prime Minister Julia Gillard out of an
event appears to have been set off by information released by
one of Gillard's own aides.
A newly established Aboriginal advocacy group says it wants
to return Prime Minister Julia Gillard's shoe after she lost
it while running a gauntlet of protesters in Canberra on
Australia Day.
