Kevin Rudd is sorry if anyone who appeared in his election pamphlets was misrepresented.
New Zealander Paulla Millar went into Kevin Rudd's electorate office to complain she couldn't vote in the Australian election, and ended up in one of his pamphlets urging readers to vote for Rudd and saying what a great bloke he is, it emerged on Thursday.
Mr Rudd on Friday said he wasn't across the details of the complaint.
"I've been travelling around the country today so I just haven't caught up with all that," he told Network Ten.
But he was sure "the people who worked on that have done the absolute best they can".

Ms Millar said she wrote a letter to Mr Rudd's Griffith electorate office, complaining about her inability to vote despite living in Australia for a number of years.
She was then invited into the office to discuss why she thought she was entitled to vote, but only found two "young, disinterested" staff members wanting to know about her thoughts on the prime minister.
They took her photo and she was ushered out the door after a few minutes.
Later she received a Kevin Rudd election pamphlet, where she was the feature person - although her name was misspelled - praising the prime minister and insinuating she was going to vote for him.
"If anyone's been misrepresented in any way of course I'm very sorry about that," Mr Rudd said.
