Gillard named Rudd her chief envoy Saturday, less than three months after axing him in a sudden and ruthless coup that stunned the nation and almost cost her ruling Labor party government at deadlocked August 21 polls. Mandarin-speaking ex-diplomat Rudd stormed to power with a landslide 2007 election victory, but his autocratic, centralised ruling style was widely criticised and led to policy blunders which cost him the leadership. Gillard said Rudd was "entitled to respect" as a former prime minister but said she had ultimately offered him the foreign ministry because he brought a "lot of expertise", denying there was bad blood between them. "Of course we are," she said when asked whether they were able to collaborate. "And we obviously will be working together in the interests of the nation." The flame-haired former lawyer insisted foreign policy would be decided by the government "as a team", not Rudd alone, and though they would work closely she would always have the final say. "Ultimately, of course, I'm the leader," Gillard told ABC television. "It's inevitable that international diplomacy happens leader-to-leader at events like the G20 and that the foreign minister also has a large role to play, so Kevin and I will be working together, playing those complementary roles." Gillard lauded Rudd's record as a leader in the region, praising his work on the G20 and bringing the United States into the East Asia Summit. She denied his assertive style and agenda had damaged links with key trading partners China, India and Japan. "In terms of relations with countries in our region... as I deal with leaders in the region, I saw that as deputy prime minister and now as prime minister, our relationships are strong," she said. She also defended her decision to elevate the MPs who engineered her coup against Rudd, saying the appointments had been made "on merit" and the men had been deserving of promotion. But the conservative opposition said Gillard would struggle to control Rudd, insisting he would take "no notice" of her wishes and that her government was riven with bitterness. "Julia Gillard wants you to believe that this is a family similar to the Brady Bunch when, in effect, it's probably more dysfunctional than the Osbournes," said Liberal party frontbencher Peter Dutton, likening his rivals to the eccentric family of heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne. Labor had to turn to an unlikely group of independent and Greens MPs to form government and party spokesman Anthony Albanese said they were prepared for lawmaking to be a more difficult task. "There will be votes on the floor of the (lower) House of Representatives in which the government doesn't always win," Albanese told commercial television. "It's going to happen, we accept that it's going to happen." Gillard flagged a more inclusive, long-term approach to government, saying there was "merit in involving more people" and focusing on broader goals. "It's more important where you're going to be in a year's time or two years' time than what is reported tonight," said Gillard. "Big reforms take patient, methodical work."
