    KEVIN Rudd gatecrashed the special ABC television broadcast with Hillary Clinton on the weekend, demanding a place to share the limelight with the US Secretary of State.

    Mr Rudd's last-minute decision to attend the town-hall-style meeting sent organisers at the ABC, the Foreign Affairs Department and US embassy into a spin hours before the event was recorded.

    Mr Rudd was not initially scheduled to be among the VIP guests, who included Australia's ambassador in Washington, Kim Beazley, businessman Hugh Morgan, Melbourne University vice-chancellor Glyn Davis and US ambassador to Australia Jeff Bleich.

    But after a dinner with Mrs Clinton on Saturday night, Mr Rudd insisted he attend.

    An Australian official familiar with the event said Mr Rudd had stridently demanded plans be changed to include him. ''The behaviour was disgusting and he deserves to be called on it,'' the official told The Age.

    There was also confusion over whether Mr Rudd was asking to be seated on stage alongside Mrs Clinton and ABC host Leigh Sales for the broadcast.

    This threatened to undo careful planning for the recording in front of an audience of about 450 in a Melbourne University lecture theatre.
