Kevin Rudd's jihad of revenge in the realm of evil, says Mark Latham KEVIN Rudd's three-year insurgency against Julia Gillard's leadership marks an unprecedented "jihad of revenge" that clearly sits in "the realm of evil," said former Labor leader Mark Latham. Mr Latham, who led the ALP in opposition between 2003 and 2005, last night urged the party's caucus to back Julia Gillard's leadership because "to stand down would be to reward a saboteur."
