“PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has been caught on film saluting US president George W Bush – but he says the incident was just a joke.
Cameras caught the gesture as world leaders gathered in Bucharest for talks on NATO’s involvement in Afghanistan.

But asked about the moment later, Mr Rudd laughed out loud and said it was “a joke”.”
