The Opposition Leader has rejected claims he’s considering Kevin Rudd as Australia’s next US ambassador if Labor wins.

The Australian today reports Anthony Albanese has told senior party colleagues he would favour appointing the former prime minister.

But Mr Albanese says he’s had no discussions of the sort and there’s no plans for Mr Rudd to even join his election campaign.

“I’ve had no discussions about anyone being an ambassador to any place,” he told Neil Breen. “Complete nonsense!

“Yesterday, it was ‘Kevin Rudd isn’t going to be on the campaign, he’d gone missing’, the same journals today are appointing him ambassador.

“They need to get over the obsession!”
