A lot of the articles I've read said there is little actual policy differences between the Liberals (conservatives in American parlance) and Labor. This guy was just been in power too long and the Iraq War has been discredited, leading to Howard being voted out.

That's true, there is very little difference between them policy wise, though Rudd wants to ratify Kyoto, refuses to build nuclear Power Plants and wants to withdraw troops from Iraq. The key major difference is that Rudd wants to scrap IR laws to give the average worker more protections at work rather then leave us stranded as the Coalition did. I guess the Coalition wasn't helped by the fact that Abbott shot his mouth off days before the election and that whole debacle about the Libs party members handing out fliers saying to vote Labor because they sympathise with the Bali Bombers.
