Shadow Home Affairs Minister Jonathon Duniam weighs in on his thoughts on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirming Kevin Rudd will be departing the job as US Ambassador a year early.

“Despite all of the ups and downs of the time that Kevin Rudd has been occupying the embassy in Washington, I have to say at the end of his time, he has achieved some good things there,” Mr Duniam told Sky News Australia.

“We need to know what the government’s plans are with an appointment for a successor to Mr Rudd.

“We need someone who can continue to build that relationship, who will provide stability, and will be that great diplomat that we need.”
