Former Australian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, speaks to the media during a press conference after his arrival at the airport in Brisbane, Australia, Friday, Feb. 24, 2012.

The vote by party lawmakers, scheduled for Monday, is an effort by Gillard to knock down a power struggle that has been percolating for weeks, and that spilled over onto the world stage Wednesday when Rudd resigned as foreign minister during an official trip to the U.S. (AP Photo/Tertius Pickard) BBC News Wed 16 May 2012
