Fed: Rudd pace continues despite end of trip

KEVIN RUDD has announced the nation's next governor-general will be the first woman
in the nation's top office.

The announcement came on the same day as he stepped off a plane from a 18 day overseas
trip .. and he's already taken home some homework from his government's youth summit.

After a nap at The Lodge .. Mr RUDD was back in his Parliament House office within
hours for talks with incoming Governor-General QUENTIN BRYCE.

Shortly after lunch .. he was given a standing ovation by 100 delegates to the youth
summit as he received the final communique and its list of ideas for next weekend's Australia
2020 summit.

Some of the ideas the prime minister will be studying include a paid parental leave
program .. primary health care committee ... and a national migrant and refugee settlement
program.
