Canberra (Australia), Apr. 4: Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd''s short temper and unreasonable demands have triggered an exodus of personal staff and a backlash from public servants.
The latest casualty is Rudd’s 78,000-dollar-a-year ex-butler John Fisher, dubbed "Jeeves" by the Opposition, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Rudd''s bullying style has come under close scrutiny after it was revealed he had reduced a young RAAF cabin attendant to tears during a VIP flight when she was unable to produce the right meal.
