Labor's leadership has been passed on to Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, a combination that seems to please both the union movement and the wider community, while also setting aside some of the rivalry inside the Labor Party.
Maybe it's another drover's dog election looming ... certainly the battle to boot out Howard will now have to be taken taken more seriously.
Former leader Kim Beazley has called on his colleagues to unite, now that the leadership has been decided.
"We in the Labor Party will need to be solidly behind Kevin because John Howard is the most formidable conservative politician of his generation, the most formidable conservative I've served in Parliament with," he said.
"He is not going to be an easy man to beat and he'll not be beaten by a rabble."
