Australians Will Vote in 3 Weeks

Australia will hold national elections in three weeks.

The campaign is between John Howard, the current prime minister, and Kevin Rudd, the leader of the opposition.

Rudd, who speaks fluent Chinese, has been popular with younger voters. Howard, who has been prime minister for 11 years, was a big supporter of the American-led war in Iraq.

At this stage, Rudd has a big lead over Howard. However, many observers believe it is too early to predict a winner.
