Former Prime Minister and current reigning King of Playground Handball,
Kevin Rudd, can now add ‘Ad hoc Uber Driver’ to his ongoing list of jobs, after he was mistaken for an Uber in Noosa this week.
In a glorious two-tweet tale told by his daughter
Jessica Rudd, old mate Kev had to make a slight detour on the way to a family dinner after a bunch of pissy folks piled into his car while he was trying to find a park in the rain.
A former Australian prime minister became an impromptu cab driver when he gave four “lovely but tipsy” strangers a lift during a downpour.
Kevin Rudd, who served as PM between 2007 and 2010 and again briefly in 2013, had just dropped his family at a restaurant in Queensland on Tuesday and was looking for somewhere to park when he picked up the quartet.
His daughter Jessica Rudd tweeted: “Dad just dropped us off at a restaurant in Noosa then went to find a park because it’s raining.
It wasn’t. It was Dad’s car. The lovely but tipsy crew had been at the restaurant since lunch and asked for a lift to Hastings St. Said they’d pay. He said he’d give them a lift. Took them half the ride to discover who their driver was. He’s here now.
