A senior Liberal senator has broken ranks with the rest of his party by calling for Kevin Rudd to be recalled as Australia's Ambassador to the United States after a cryptic tweet from one of Donald Trump's closest confidants suggested he was on thin ice in Washington.
But Rudd has received the unlikely backing of fellow former prime minister Tony Abbott, who said the US administration shouldn't be prescribing who can or can't be an Australian ambassador.
Speculation over the diplomatic posting ramped up after Daniel Scavino Jr, a senior Trump adviser and former deputy White House chief of staff, latched onto Rudd's statement that he was deleting old social media posts critical of Trump in the wake of last week's election result, reposting the statement on X with a GIF of an hourglass last night.
