News reports say that newly elected Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is using strategists from abroad to assist in him in the elections.

Tom McMahon, the former executive director of the Democratic National Committee, Joon Kim of the consulting firm New Partners and British social media expert, Matthew McGregor, will be part of Rudd's election campaign team for 2013.

These experts have presumably worked wonders during President Barrack Obama’s U.S. presidential elections taking advantage of both field operations and social media.

Mr. Rudd said he had always been an admirer of President Obama’s show of leadership and his ability to communicate with the American people. On the other side, the Labor party has been getting tips from the Democratic Party in the U.S.

Bruce Hawker, chairperson of the Prime Minister’s campaign, is holding daily meetings in order to get a feel for the daily polling and the messages sent out to the people. ALP national secretary George Wright heads the campaign, while it’s managed by Nick Martin.

After the release of an economic statement outed in the coming days, there is much speculation that Rudd will call for elections. At this point, published opinion polls are inconclusive, Liberal Member of Parliament Jamie Briggs told Yahoo Australia. The recruitment revealed Labour was "terrific at spin but terrible at government".

"Importing spin doctors to run negative political campaigns is another reminder for Australian voters that if you re-elect Kevin Rudd and Labour you will get three more years of division, dysfunction and chaos," Mr Briggs was quoted as saying in an AAP report.
