AUSTRALIA'S LABOR PARTY TO THROW LEADERSHIP OPEN TO VOTE.
CANBERRA, Dec 1 Asia Pulse - Labor Leader Kim Beazley has thrown his leadership open to a vote on Monday in a bold move to kill off speculation about his future.
Mr Beazley today declared a spill of his entire frontbench following a fortnight of pressure for him to stand aside in favour of Labor's foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd.
"Kevin Rudd approached me this morning and said that he indicated that he wanted a ballot in regard to my position," Mr Beazley told reporters after a meeting of Labor's national executive in Canberra.
"I informed Mr Rudd of what my intentions were.
"I will contest it.
"I have the experience to be the alternative prime minister of this nation and therefore to be the prime minister of this nation.
"I have done the hard yards in politics."
