Around the Traps 5/7/13

It is time for Around the Traps.

I have put on the articles re Kevin Rudd replacing Gillard together in the OZ section.

Look out for Simon Wren-Lewis who is again on fire, David Glasner, as usual, has a very good thoughtful piece in the wonk section and Noah Smith has a piece in the Stats section but overall all the articles are worth a read over the weekend.

Updates will occur then as well!!
