Kevin Rudd and Federal opposition leader Tony Abbott ... Abbott admits Rudd stole the show. Picture: Dan Himbrechts Source: The Daily Telegraph
KEVIN Rudd may be trying to spoil Julia Gillard's party but yesterday he gate-crashed Tony Abbott's.
Proving he was not only the crouching tiger but also an electoral hidden dragon, Mr Rudd upstaged the Opposition Leader when he turned up at a Chinese function Mr Abbott was hosting in western Sydney.
Caught by surprise when the crowd mobbed Mr Rudd, even Mr Abbott was forced to admit he had stolen the show.
"There is absolutely no doubt that Kevin Rudd has a marvellous gift, a marvellous, marvellous gift," Mr Abbott said. "I suppose those of us who don't speak Mandarin feel a little bit inadequate at a gathering where Mandarin is widely spoken, in the presence of those who do, but I think this is an inadequacy that the prime minister has no less than I do."
Mr Rudd was a last-minute invitee to a special Chinese remembrance event at the Pine Grove cemetery.
Local Labor MP Ed Husic called organisers on Saturday asking if they would mind if Mr Rudd attended, before he flew out to China for a series of high level meetings.
Not only did they not mind, they put him centre stage.
Labor sources conceded that the Coalition had been successfully targeting western Sydney's ethnic vote.
