Right thread though.

Here's an analogous example of "term of endearment" in conservative politics...
- Andrew Constance backflipped on his decision to seek pre-selection in the Eden-Monaro by-election
- He said the fact NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro called him a "c***" led to his change of heart
- The Bega MP said he has forgiven Mr Barilaro but politics in Australia was "stuffed"

THE latest airing of Kevin Rudd's temper suggests the PM has bullying tendencies and needs counselling, writes Susie O'Brien.

<p class="" style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:LiberationSerif, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;color:rgb(38,38,38);">THE latest airing of the now infamous Kevin Rudd temper suggests that, despite his protestations, the PM has bullying tendencies and needs counselling.
<div style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:inherit;margin:0px;">
<p style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-family:LiberationSerif, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:19px;color:rgb(38,38,38);">By his own admission Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is a workplace bully.
Reports this week that Mr Rudd verbally abused colleagues in a profane tirade during a discussion about printing allowances have not been denied by the Prime Minister.
In fact, they have been defended with the PM saying, "I make no apology for either the content of my conversation or the robustness with which I expressed my views."
So what was the "robust content" Mr Rudd was talking about?
"I don't care what you f---ers think," Mr Rudd reportedly told Labor faction representatives. "You can get f---ed. Don't you f---ing understand?"
Let's not mince words, because Mr Rudd clearly doesn't.
