Kevin Rudd said during a US TV interview China views Donald Trump's threat of military action against North Korea as 'one huge bluff'.


Former Labor leader Kevin Rudd has accused Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of acting "irresponsibly" in committing Australia to a military response in the event of a North Korean attack on the United States.

 

My response to the statement when I first saw it …. was simply, Good God have the conservatives in Australia learnt nothing from the Iraq experience? the former prime minister told ABC radio on Monday.

 

Mr Rudd says its a difficult and dangerous time amid rising tensions over a potential North Korea strike, which call for calm language and solid diplomacy from leaders.

 

Not the sort of waving of arms into the air which we have seem to have seen from Mr Turnbull, he said.
