Thank you, Mr Speaker. The point is obvious: if Mr Rudd were to seek an exemption to leave the country, it would seem that those on that side of the House would be the first to seek to approve it in the way they spoke about Mr Rudd when he was even in this chamber, standing at this dispatch box, as Prime Minister. But I understand the Leader of the Opposition's affection for Mr Rudd. He has the Rudd force field around him in the protections that were put in place to keep this Leader of the Opposition in his job. Lucky Albo!
