BBC News - Kevin Rudd ousts Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard

BBC News - Kevin Rudd ousts Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard: "Kevin Rudd has ousted Prime Minister Julia Gillard as leader of Australia's Labor Party.

He won by 57 votes to 45, in a leadership ballot of Labor lawmakers.

The change comes ahead of a general election due in September, which polls suggest Labor is set to lose.

This is the latest twist in a long and bitter rivalry between the two politicians - but it could be the last as Ms Gillard has said she will now leave politics."
