Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has asserted Australian Ambassador to the United States Kevin Rudd will remain in Washington for a year or more despite recent speculation about his position.

 

In an exclusive interview with Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell, Mr Albanese dismissed suggestions Mr Rudd could be replaced and said he would remain for a year or more.

 

When asked about the future of the ambassador’s tenure, Mr Albanese said: “He's Australia's ambassador to Washington and he's doing a very important job.”

 

"The work that he did with AUKUS was a difficult task to get that through the Congress and the Senate.

 

“But when I was there, one of the things that struck me was just how extensive the links that Kevin Rudd had developed with the US Congress and the Senate were.”

 

Thank you Boss, keep him in the US until the time is right.
