The announcement that our prime minister has become the author of a children's book will be greeted with astonishment by many citizens.
Is this the same Kevin Rudd who was accused of being such a slave driver that his personal staff were suffering " burnout " - and leaving in droves ?
Running a country like Australia is serious business, doubly so when the guy sitting in the Lodge has aspirations to also be a world leader. Our prime minister has had a finger in many big issues - not the least being the Copenhagen meeting to try and find an answer to global warming.
Obviously things have changed if he has found the time to ruminate on the comings and goings of his dog and cat, Jasper and Abbey - and their life amongst the luxury surroundings of Kirribilli House with it's harbour views.
The proceeds from " The great Australia Day kerfuffle " will go to charity because our PM doesn't really need the money, but many will be bemused that he found the time to write a children's book in his first term of office.
The usual book efforts of prime ministers take place once they retire - and ponder the past as they write their memoirs.
At least this prime minister is different !
