Kevin Rudd is the leader of Australia’s opposition Labor Party. BBC.com has a story that ends with something that gives me hope for all of humankind–at least the beer drinkers.
Kevin Rudd went to the club in Manhattan in September 2003 during a visit to the city as a UN observer. Mr Rudd has released a statement apologising for any offence which his actions may have caused. He is currently riding high in the polls, with a national election expected before the end of the year.
A bookish intellectual with a strong Christian faith, Kevin Rudd has a slightly dull, even nerdy public persona.
So many Australians will have been surprised to read of his drunken, late-night visit to a New York strip club.
It is unclear if this revelation will damage his chances of becoming prime minister in the election expected before the end of the year. But in a country which once elected a champion beer drinker as its prime minister - Labor’s Bob Hawke - many think it might actually enhance his chances of success.
