（单词翻译）

 　　The leadership of the Australian Labor1 Party has been declared as 'conclusively2 settled'.

 
　　The current party leader and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard made the declaration after Kevin Rudd decided3 not to challenge her.
 
　　Gillard was forced to throw her job open to a leadership ballot4 on Thursday.
 
　　Rudd, the former Prime Minister, said he didn't have enough support to challenge Gillard.
 
　　"The only circumstances under which I would consider a return to the leadership would be if there's an overwhelming majority of the parliamentary party requesting such a return drafting me to return. And the position was vacant. I am here to inform you that those circumstances do not exist."
 
　　This now means Gillard will be leading the Labor Party in to the general elections scheduled for September.
