Kevin Rudd

February 22, 2012

Australia's Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd has resigned amid widespread reports of a leadership tussle between him and Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

He made the announcement at a press conference in Washington DC, where he had earlier met United States Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.

Ms Gillard ousted Mr Rudd as Prime Minister in June 2010.
