The seat of power returns to Brisbane after the newly-installed Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd once again made the Sunshine State his home. PM Rudd will also be living there with his wife, Therese.

Rudd has decided to stay in the prime minister's official residences in Canberra's the Lodge and Sydney's Kirribilli House only when on official business. He will use his role as new prime minister and Queensland's most famous MP to protect the eight existing seats of the Australian Labor Party and get hold of LNP seats.

The Labor party's former leader and prime minister Julia Gillard was running behind in previous polls and Kevin Rudd's victory over her signals the return of the "messiah" along with the hopes of the Labor party to beat the opposition.

Rudd is expected to include his deputy Anthony Albanese as one of the new ministers to focus on Infrastructure and sell the National Broadband Network of the Labor party. Richard Marles may also be handed a frontbench position since his public of declaration of support for Rudd last February.

Kim Carr is another Rudd supporter who is keen to return to his former post as minister of Innovation, Industry and Science which he lost under former prime minister Julia Gillard. Rudd may also give Carr the Higher Education post.

Labor party analysts are hoping that Rudd's high profile as Queensland's MP will compensate for losing three ministers after Julia Gillard lost the caucus vote. The Cabinet members who quit were Wayne Swan, Joe Ludwig and Craig Emerson were all loyal to Gillard.

Rudd has also been asked to promote Shayne Neumann who is also a Queensland MP and backed out from Gillard's loyal group of supporters to join Rudd.

Rudd wants to return the seat of power to Brisbane because he wants to be home as much as possible and stay close to the community that supported him throughout his political life. He loves his house in Norman Park and says it would be great to come home to his wife and be with the locals in warmer climate.
