Ahead of taking up his new post in Washington Kevin Rudd has been caught out in an expletive-laden spiel and was even overheard complaining about “slowly being demoted” from PM to ambassador.
Mr Rudd continues to come under more scrutiny after the government announced his appointment in December.
The former prime minister was also reported complaining about his career progression since being ousted in 2010 and again in 2013. Asked whether a climate accord deal was still possible, Mr Rudd said “Depends whether those rat-f***ing Chinese want to f*** us”. The latest outburst comes after Mr Rudd confirmed to SkyNews.com.au that he would relinquish his role as chairman of the activist group Australians for a Murdoch Royal Commission.
