What is lost in this story is the difference between an ordinary passenger and the PM. Had an ordinary passenger behaved like this on an ordinary flight, he would have no doubt met with law enforcement at the other end.
"Mr Rudd said that as he recalled, he told a member of the crew not to worry about the language he had used."
I think we may have seen the "other" side of Kevin Rudd here.
Gone was the caring sharing Mr Nice Guy from Workerfriendly Ave Canberra and hello to Mr Nasty Pasty from Getyouract Together Rd Angryville.
I love it when the Pollie shows his/her real colours regardless of their political persuasion.
These matters are taken very seriously by those in authority unless of course the offender is the PM and he is traveling on a tax payer funded flight at a cost of around $150,000.
The PM is getting a bad name all round now and slowly but surely the curtain is being removed and we are beginning to see the true nature of the affordable PM.
He is a nasty little man with a temper.
I would suggest that an incident that results in an in-flight attendant being reduced to tears would be of great concern to authorities on the ground upon arrival were it to have been Mr Joe Average.
Classic case of one law for the rich and powerful, and another for the rest of us low life.
