A keen interest in foreign affairs - sparked at age 14 when then-PM Gough Whitlam became the first Western leader to visit Beijing - suggests he'll keep a tight grip on that portfolio, too. Having copied most of his predecessor's policies, Rudd is likely to build on Howard's foreign policy...

The tournament marks the highlight of the fall competition. “Cliff Keen is our first semester peak,” Crimson Coach Jay Weiss said. “We’ll then come back [from break] and work back up.
