Why all the fuss? A member of the air force got a bit teary in the line of duty. Where's the story?
It sounds like the same old story - rather than attacking a person you don't like for their performance in the job, attack them for judgement outside of work.LOL dunno m8 . story been changing by the minute , i heard she knocked him back for the mile high club and he lashed out
cant blame him tho , he is the boss after all

Very poor.
Last time I checked he was voted into power by the Australian electorate and now has a popularity rating approaching Hawke's record - and Rudd has achieved this during a global economic crisis.He's just an arrogant tosser who spits it when he cant get his own way.
"As I recall it, there was a flight, I think from Port Moresby, and I had a discussion with, I think, one of the attendants on the provision of food. It didn't last very long and if anyone was offended by that, including the attendant concerned, of course I apologise," he said.
I'm glad to see the general mood of the comments on ASF about our precious little PM on this issue. A person in his position could not pick a softer target than an airforce hostess, this poor girl is bound by a rigid military discipline system as well as rules of courtesy. The more I see and hear of our PM the more I find to dislike. Disappointingly the few comments I read on Newscorps site seemed to support his 'spoilt boy' behaviour and dismiss the reported initial denial by Rudd's spin doctor.
I thought the RAAF would be a bit tougher than that, I know it's the PM, she must really have liked him.
The expectation is that they can do their job - properly.It just amazes me how so many people think RAAF catering staff should be as thick skinned as front line military troops. I guess it takes all kinds or Rudd wouldnt be PM in the first place.

Despite, apparently, having a senior Officer specifically appointed to ensure Rudd's concerns would be competently addressed, the RAAF team failed a basic hurdle..
It comes as no surprise that Rudd has taken many trips, and that the RAAF will have records of his previous meals. If, for reasons unknown, the RAAF was unable to determine his specific meal requirement on this flight they should have adopted some contingency plans that ensured all bases were covered. It appears they may not have planned for such a contingency: If that was the case, then it just reinforces their incompetence..
Other nations must be laughing that a country as prosperous as Australia can't even feed their PM a meal of his choice when on official business..
It's embarrassing to think that the PM had to apologise for being human, and not the RAAF for failing in their most basic of duties.

I'ts embarrassing that we have a PM so lacking in any qualities of a man or a leader that he cant handle his freeking lunch not being perfect, most people just grab whats on hand not the KRudd he wants it just right, weak and worthless.............
When's the last time you flew? I've never had a decent meal on a plane, can tell you though if it was a private flight for myself and they stuffed up the order I'd be pretty mad too; on behalf of all the taxpayer paying for the flight, taylored meal, inflight entertainment. Then again if I was PM I'd be flying Lynx Airways; food would be the last thing on your mind
We wouldn't serve pork to a Jewish contingent on a VIP flight.Any MAN would have just opted for whatever they had, stop wasting the time of our forces with your childish whims, whimp !

And we wouldn't serve alcohol to a Muslim contingent.
Perhaps unless they are on this RAAF plane that isn't capable of working out the basics.
And then they would all have to apologise for inconveniencing the flight crew.
Yeah..... get real MrBurns.
Not liking the PM is your prerogative.
Being clueless about this matter is your liability.
Is one lunch so important
in comparison, he is making mark latham look good
