Australia PM calls surprise leadership ballot SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Australia's Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, called a surprise leadership ballot for the governing Labor Party for Thursday afternoon. The prime minister made the call just after Arts Minister Simon Crean held a press conference urging the prime minister for a "spill" of all leadership positions in the party. "If the prime minister does not agree to it -- which I expect she won't -- then I urge members of caucus to petition in the appropriate way for the calling of such a meeting," said Crean.
