We were having dinner at Kirribilli House — me, Mrs Slurry, Chris Mitchell from The Australian, Cate Blanchett and Big Kevy, when the phone rang.
The PM’s tax payer funded butler said it was the President calling. Kevin left the room, but perversely he took the call on speaker phone and we could all hear the conversation.

I wonder just how many people who voted for Kevin are wondering why now?
Hey Duke
I did not vote for Rudd but I am pretty sure that you have missed the latest opinion polls saying that rudd is popular as ever.
The liberals were voted out because of reasons too numerous to list here and people like you need to get over it. Sling shit on the government as much as you like but don’t bring up sour grapes here because the best thing you can do for rudd is to invoke memories of howard. GWB is an Idiot and who was his best mate?
You can judge a man by the company he keeps they say
Wouldn’t Kev be riveting at a White House dinner party? He’d have the waiter engaged in Mandarin as Obama asked about Palm Island, he’d brief Michelle on hardship as a child living in outback ghettos and play knuckles with the kids of the ordinary working family who’d just blown in from Chicago. He’d find a corner of the oval office to text and take calls from Cate, Nic and Chris Mitchell and get the butler to film him for Mel and Kochie. And as he left the now dimmed lights of the home at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave he’d sign the guest book again – just in case they’d rubbed him out.
How dare Slurry impugn the reputation of the BeeGees!
Memo from KEVIN RUDD, MP, Prime Minister of Australia……..
George W Bush, President of the USA
WASHINGTON DC
United States of America
Dear George,
Our telephone conversation was too brief to explain my thoughts on the ‘Education Revolution’.
As a practicing Christian, I feel sure you will approve of my efforts to guard the children of Oz from any bad influences. Therefore I intend, not to enforce rules of moral behaviour; I am going to remove the rules entirely. This is my Education Revolution.
Enemies of the Australian government are complaining that this is censorship. But I say it is Godliness, as indeed would you.
Most sincerely
KEVIN RUDD, MP, Prime Minister
Canberra
ACT
