Kevin Rudd is is the Australian Prime Minister-in-waiting, and leader of the federal parliamentary Labor Party. At the federal level, the ALP won the 24th November 2007 election.
Kevin Rudd became leader of the opposition after deposing the previous leader of the ALP, Kim Beazley in a leadership ballot. Since that time, he has enjoyed unprecedented public popularity having campaigned successfully on issues such as the environment and climate change, education and industrial relations policy.
He was accused of copying some of his policies (in particular economic policies) from his more conservative predecessor John Howard in a bid to win office, believing that the electorate finds these policies appealling.
