A Labor MP has slammed the Opposition for its 'backflip' of support towards Australia's Ambassador to the United States Kevin Rudd following explosive comments made by Donald Trump.

'Trying to suck up to Donald Trump': Labor MP Andrew Charlton slams Peter Dutton over 'backflip' on support for Kevin Rudd

Speaking to Sky News Australia on Sunday, Labor MP Andrew Charlton was asked whether he held concerns about Mr Rudd remaining as Australia's Ambassador to the US if Mr Trump was to be re-elected later this year. "I don’t know whether he’s trying to suck up to Donald Trump or whether he’s just trying to score some political points, but it’s really damaging for Australia for us not to take a ‘team Australia’ approach and support our ambassadors no matter who they are or who appointed them."
