Quote of the day:

“There’s no point pretending that it hasn’t been difficult for myself and Therese and the kids… But equally, you know, it’s a pretty basic point that what’s done can’t be undone. And there are bigger things at stake, bigger things than K. Rudd’s future, and that’s the country’s future.” — Former prime minister Kevin Rudd speaking about himself in the third person to Phillip Adams on Late Night Live last night.

During the interview, the first since Rudd was deposed, the member for Griffith denied he was the source of Laurie Oakes’ leaks, confirmed that he would be attending the ALP campaign launch (if he’s up to it) and vowed to keep campaigning for Julia Gillard, adding Tony Abbott did not deserve to be considered “a serious contender”.
