Not without full disclosure.  Didn't his wife sell her Australian agency when he came to office?

No, she didn't

Sorry Wilk you are wrong she sold the Australian arm in 2007 and sold the rest of the company in 2014

Ms Rein sold the Australian arm of Ingeus in 2007 when Mr Rudd was elected to the prime ministership. She said at the time it would be inappropriate for her to retain ownership of a business which bids for government contracts.

Good, I'm glad I'm wrong about that.
