FED:Union campaigner to be Labor boss=2
Melbourne-based Mr Wright has been an adviser to former finance minister Lindsay Tanner
and former prime minister, now foreign minister, Kevin Rudd.
He also served with the ACTU for more than a decade, rising to the role of national
communications and campaign director.
Ms Gillard described him as a "very successful professional campaigner".
Former prime ministerial adviser Amanda Lampe and South Australian Labor state secretary
Michael Brown were both flagged as possible replacements for Mr Bitar.
But the party's dominant right faction - which met for two hours at Parliament House
in Canberra on Thursday - could not settle on either of the candidates.
