King Kevin the new conqueror
KEVIN RUDD made a pact with the voters of Australia last night to step forward with them and forge a new future for the nation.
The Prime Minister-elect ascended the stage in the members’ dining room at Suncorp Stadium flanked by his wife Therese, sons Nicholas and Marcus and daughter Jessica and her husband Albert Tse.
With more than a 1000 supporters chanting his name, Mr Rudd maintained his usual restraint but beamed widely and embraced and kissed family, friends and supporters as he took the short walk to the stage.
With a smile, he told his colleagues and staff they were allowed a strong cup of tea and perhaps an Iced VoVo as they kicked up their heels and celebrated their historic win. He said the new Labor government would waste no time implementing its agenda in relation to education, industrial relations and climate change, saying he wanted to rid the country of the old divides.
