From the BBC:
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has defeated Kevin Rudd in the Labor Party leadership ballot.
Ms Gillard, who ousted Mr Rudd as PM in June 2010, won by 71 votes to 31. She called the ballot after weeks of speculation that Mr Rudd was going to challenge her for the top job.
I spent some time trying to find places to plug into the online political geek community in Australia, without much luck. That would have enabled a deeper analysis but for now, I’ll just say that I’m so happy with this result.
