We thank her for this post and wish her well for the book, it’s a terrific read. If anyone out there stumbles across the real Kevin Rudd, could they please call his wife and kids. They are very worried because they haven’t seen him for a while and have apparently lodged a missing persons report with the police. There have been images of Rudd on television and in the newspapers, usually smiling and joking, often with toddlers, but there is no proof it is really him. Or anybody, really. He just looks and sounds like a clone of someone he wishes he was. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Niki Savva) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Kevin-Rudd-the-man-who-wasnt-there/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Kevin-Rudd-the-man-who-wasnt-there/#item2298 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:00:57 +0000 Niki Savva | Author bios | The Punch
