Updated 11.58am: THE CUT KEVIN CANNOT HIDE By Sarah Michael and Linda Silmalis
HE has been talking non-stop about Tony Abbott's cuts, but Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was cagey when questioned about a cut on his knuckle today.
Mr Rudd was sporting a noticeable band-aid on his hand which wasn't there yesterday, while on his whirlwind tour of Western Sydney.
When asked where the injury came from he stumbled over his answer.
"That's, ah, I actually don't know. It just hurt. I noticed last night it was starting to, um, starting to bleed a bit so I just stuck something on it," Mr Rudd said.
"So, no, I wasn't involved in any fisticuffs. It, ah, I've got no idea about it."
Mr Rudd's political director Bruce Hawker told News Corp Australia that the cut was from "shaking hands".
