The (probable) future Prime Minister of Australia continues to be a real worry.
Mr Rudd arrived at the mall an hour later, fresh from two campaign announcements – $150m to build emergency accommodation for homeless people, and $2.5m for a GP super clinic at Wyong Hospital.
But he appeared to be a candidate for hospital treatment himself, sporting a sore hand.
“That actually is from shaking hands. And there’s been a lot of that in recent days,” Mr Rudd said, before asking hopefully: “Any from our local journalists here?”
But the pesky media travelling with the Labor leader continued to ask questions, leading Mr Rudd to say, “one more local question and then we’d better zip”.
When a journalist asked if he could ask a national question, Mr Rudd responded with: “Zob zob zob.”
“Zob zob zob” is apparently French vernacular for a man’s genitalia, and is also the name of a French hardcore movie from 1977.
And here I was thinking it was just the sound of chewing on ear wax.
