Gillard ousts Rudd in bloodless coup

Julia Gillard has been elected unopposed to the Labor leadership, seizing power in a bloodless Parliament House coup after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd decided not to contest this morning's leadership ballot.

Emerging from the meeting, Ms Gillard said she felt "very honoured" and said she would be making a statement shortly.

Treasurer Wayne Swan now steps up as Deputy Prime Minister. He was also elected unopposed.
