100% WRONG. If the same circumstances repeated and John Howard (say) drowned this morning in his wading pool a-lá Harold Holt, then (Commonwealth Attorney-General) Philip Ruddock would be the 'Prime Minister-elect' because the other suggestible alternative as yet remains a man who, bar two names, hasn't condescended to the Australian public to reveal who his Ministers would be. Blatant rubbish to style Kev as anything like 'Prime Minister-elect of Australia' in those circumstances. Respond if you disagree.
