(Update below)
It appears as if Austrailian MP Peter Garrett, and former Midnight Oiler, has gotten his wish. Australians have shed their Bush lap-dog, pro-war, anti-environmental Prime Minister John Howard, and have elected Kevin Rudd, along with enough seats in Parliament to guarantee a Labor controlled government which will be anti-war, pro-environment and less likely to try to make the American president happy.
UPDATE: There is some speculation that Garrett may lose his current seat on the cabinet for environmental, arts and heritage affairs. Neither he, nor Rudd were willing to speculate for the press.
