My mate Legend tweeted ex PM Kevin Rudd to ask for help with his economics exam. It was politely declined, but I just noticed that the tweet was deleted. It happened though.

No idea who she is, but I have to question whether this was a serious request for the president to terminate the offending officer.

I never heard of her before, but it seems she has a good sense of humour. I laughed.
