rudd pm, prime minister kevin rudd, rove mcmanus, humour ...

It has come to my attention that there is a notorious lack of knowledge worming its way around the globe regarding the Australian political process. This gobsmacking state of affairs was so astonishing it took me literally seconds to pick myself up off the floor. Such lassitude cannot be allowed to continue, for it is difficult to get out of a horizontal position!

Thus, I present a video I found (created by Australia's leading political journalist, Rove McManus) that will tell you everything you need to know about our illustrious, jet-setting Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.

Onya, Ruddsie!

And that should tell you everything you need to know. Of course, if it doesn't, there's more here.
