Rudd wants to rule the world
But surely Statesman Rudd requires all of those 114 delegates (including a personal photographer) in order to appear sufficiently like a future UN secretary general for the unofficial job interview he’s attending? Oh, you guys all think he’s going for climate talks? Ha, ha – good one.
Opposition leader Tony Abbott says the size of the Australian delegation to the UN climate conference in Copenhagen is an unfair expense on tax payers.
The Opposition says Kevin Rudd will be taking 114 people to the conference – a larger contingent than that of Britain or India.
World leaders will be joining the conference next week to try and negotiate a global climate agreement.
Mr Abbott says the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd should be focussing on Australia.
“I think it’s in a sense admirable that Kevin Rudd is prepared to risk jet lag for our country,” he said.
“But the people who he’s really got to persuade about his whopping great big emissions tax are here in Australia, not in Copenhagen.”
Rudd cares little for domestic politics at the moment – his focus is the world stage.
