KERRY O'BRIEN: Did you or your staff express an interest in you sharing the stage with Hillary Clinton at the Melbourne University forum yesterday? And were you disappointed that you weren't able to?

KEVIN RUDD: Did I what? No, not at all. I didn't ask to go on the stage at all. I said to Hillary, "Oh, you're going to the university tomorrow? That's terrific. I know the Vice Chancellor. I'd like to come along and have a look. That's terrific." Because she does this thing around the region. She's done it most recently in Cambodia; she's done it elsewhere. I think it's terrific what she did. So, whoever's on to that I think is just up to a bit of mischief, mate.

KERRY O'BRIEN: OK.

KEVIN RUDD: Because that's exactly as it happened. That's exactly how we did it.

"I'd like to come along and have a look" - what does that mean? Stand up the back?
