Australia's Opposition Leader Rudd Wins Landslide Election Victory

SYDNEY - Centre-left leader Kevin Rudd stormed to victory in Australia's election Saturday, ending conservative Prime Minister John Howard's 11-year rule with pledges to change course on climate change and the Iraq war.

Howard, US President George W. Bush's closest ally in the Iraq war, conceded defeat in Sydney and admitted it was "very likely" that he also faced the rare humiliation of losing his own electoral seat.
