Rudd returns to the leadership and is already delivering on the Ruddisms Kevin Rudd is sworn in as Prime Minister, before joking with the Governor-General that he has 'done this wrong before'. Kevin Rudd addresses the media yesterday before he had to 'zip'. KEVIN Rudd is finally happy that he's got a fair shake of the sauce bottle - but what about the rest of us? While he hasn't exactly been out of the spotlight for the past three years, we've had something of a reprieve from his colourful Ruddisms. The PM happily swings from pure Okker to bureaucratic gobbledygook. Once described by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott as "the kind of dated slang that we got from Barry McKenzie films," Mr Rudd seems to speak his own language borne of the Aussie bush larrikin of the early 1970s. Now here's back in the top job, here's a catchphrase countdown to remind us what we're in for.
