Australian first Mandarin speaking Premier?

Today Kevin Rudd was elected as the leader of Labour Party. One of the things interesting about him was he graduated from Australian National University with a first class honours in Chinese language and history. He had worked in the Australian embassy in China.

If he wins the election about 8 months away, he will be Australian first Mandarin speaking Prime Minister.
