Coming after publicity in the US over his visit to New York strip club Scores, the website of esteemed broadsheet The Washington Post this week featured an article about Rudd’s distasteful indiscretion six years ago.
The earwax incident, caught on film in Parliament and recently put on YouTube, was described in the story as a “stomach-turning display”.
Haven’t seen the video? Watch it below:
“Now, I know what you’re thinking - Australia is a different country, and just because ear wax isn’t on the menu at Outback Steakhouse, doesn’t mean it’s not eaten Down Under,” columnist Emil Steiner tells his readers.”After all, we shouldn’t impose our American ‘tastes’ on a different culture.
“Then again, I think earwax-eating is one of those activities that is gross across cultures.”
The article went on to question whether an earwax eater would be a worthy Prime Minister.
“The question is whether a man with so little savvy for the cameras is fit to hold his nation’s highest office.”
