In a shock move, Kevin Rudd has resigned as Foreign Minister.
At an early morning press conference in Washington, Mr Rudd says he can’t continue in his portfolio without the support of Julia Gillard and senior ministers.

Mr Rudd will return to Brisbane tomorrow, where he will discuss his future with his family and colleagues.
