Rudd's landmines set to explode YOU have got to hand it to Kevin Rudd. He is able to wreak havoc even from his political grave. During the relatively brief Rudd renaissance he managed to leave behind a brilliant booby trap. The change of rules he demanded, which would effectively make him prime minister for life, has the capacity to destroy the next Labor leader. If there is a contest for the Labor leadership between Bill Shorten and Anthony Albanese, the Rudd landmine could wreck their careers, irrespective of who emerges as the victor.
