Kevin Rudd heckled over GST in his home state of Queensland Kevin Rudd was heckled by an elderly man during his morning walk with local candidate Cathy O'Toole. KEVIN Rudd has been heckled on his morning walk in Townsville, proving not everyone in his home state of Queensland is happy to have him back in the nation's top job. Walking on the foreshore of the northern Queensland coastal town, an elderly man started abusing Mr Rudd over the Goods and Services Tax. "What are you going to do with the GST when this is over," the man shouted. You'll put it up to $25. No one can believe ya, no one can believe ya mate. A calm Mr Rudd, whose electorate lies in the Brisbane base of Griffith, simply smiled at the man and said "it's good having a democracy" as he kept walking. The Prime Minister is in the top end today for a few media events including a Community Cabinet later this evening - his first since taking back his old position. He will face questioning from a mix of voters in Rockhampton and may be confronted with more angry voters. Mr Rudd will also unveil exactly how he will find savings in the budget to pay for an early move to an emissions trading scheme as part of axing the carbon tax. This morning's heckling comes after Mr Rudd yesterday made a gaffe involving the Kokoda Track. Yesterday he said he had "survived" walking the track, angering war veterans who had to fight in the dense rainforest area of Papua New Guinea. Mr Rudd, who walked the Kokoda Track in 2006 with Joe Hockey and David Koch, apologised this morning for his gaffe. In my speech I said that 3000 Australians walked the Kokoda Track every year and that I had done the same and survived. That is actually what I meant," he said today. If people have taken that a different way then of course I'm sorry about any misinterpretation.
