The two faces of Australia's Rudd

1. Before the election:

In the federal election of Saturday, Nov. 24, the Labor opposition, led by centrist but progressive candidate Kevin Rudd, was swept into office on a platform of “new leadership for Australia’s future.” One of Rudd’s core election campaign platforms was to ratify Kyoto and to tackle climate change head-on.

2. After the election, it now looks like Australia may tackle climate change head-on...sometime in the future.
