rudd racks up $29,676 phone bill in six months, page-24

Gee DaveR, I guess we are all sorry for mentioning Rudd's phone bill. Do you think it be best a scret?

As someone pointed out, how much of the taxpayer funded phone bill is spent on personal matters, eg. getting a leg up within the Labor Party or canvassing a UN position.

Why are we workers paying the bill?

Rudd is spending $60k per annum on phone calls...... and this was before he became PM.

As PM I expect his phone bill is a non issue. But why was a back bencher spending so much money on phone calls? And who paid for his tave throughout the world and Australia?

Was he just a PM in exile waiting for Gillard to implode?
