Commentators panned Mr Rudd for looking down at his notes during the debate and not speaking frankly off-the-cuff.

Labor figure Graham Richardson said: "If I was Kevin Rudd, I would sack whoever wrote them."

Sky News commentator Peter Van Onselen declared it "cheating" and said it was "outrageous" - even if it was a silly rule in the first place.

"The rules are laid out and both leaders have agreed to it ... it is a disadvantage to Tony Abbott," he said.

"Kevin Rudd cheated."
