Rudd, Kevin

Kevin Rudd is an Australian former Labor politician. A former diplomat, Queensland Government official, Foreign Affairs Minister, Leader of the Labour Party and twice Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin seemed destined to lead Australia for many years. Despite securing a 2007 landslide victory with a 23-seat swing in his party's favour, a coup saw him ousted from the prime ministership until he reclaimed it for the 2013 election, losing to Tony Abbott.

Kevin now lives in New York with his wife Thérèse.
