Kevin 07 re-election gig gossip



PS News had this little snippet of gossip:

"PS-sssst...!
Ad hocked!

Even geniuses have their day – at least in the advertising industry.
Accomplished adman Neil Lawrence must be wondering what it takes to keep a service contract after being overlooked by the Australian Labor Party for its next big re-election gig.
You see, Neil was the whizz-kid who ran the vote-winning “Kevin 07” campaign that so endeared our then-plucky PM-wannabe (and former Public Servant) K. Rudd into the election winning Prime Ministerial seat of power. Spurned by Labor, Mr Lawrence is now free to make his way into the Coalition camp to pay back the favour and put his undoubted talents to work for them. Could that be a “Welcome Malcolm” slogan I see bubbling up?"

Update:
Seems that public service gossip is not all it's cracked up to be.
Apparently Neil withdrew from the fray rather than got the push.
