Stop the preses!!! Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has been voted out of power by his party and...replaced...by the benevolent Julia Gillard. All hail Gillard and her glorious new regime. Sincerely, Australian Blogger.
Anywho, I know this news doesn't really affect most of my predominantly American readers; I also know that given that this year is the first year that I will be voting (it's compulsory in Australia) I should probably find out why this happened and how it affects the political climate. But instead, I thought it'd be way more fun to cast the imaginary political biopic about Australia's fallen leader, tentatively titled "BACKSTABBED: The Kevin Rudd story"
Obviously Julia Gillard (above, left) should be played by Tilda Swinton, but as for Kevin (above, right), I'll let you decide. International readers feel free to play along; the results of this poll will be announced in next weeks This Week in Film News.
