Rudd serial killer camel barbs just a joke: TV anchorAugust 6, 2009 - 9:09AM


A US TV anchor who labelled Kevin Rudd a serial killer says her comments were a "deadpan joke" and she would like the Australian prime minister to appear on her show.

Erin Burnett targeted Rudd during a broadcast on Tuesday on American financial news channel, CNBC, after learning of the Australian government's plan to spend $19 million to cull feral camels in the outback.

Burnett toned down her comments on Wednesday, describing the camel cull as a "complicated issue".

"It has come to my attention that some people are upset about a deadpan joke I made about camels yesterday," Burnett said on CNBC.

" ... I made a deadpan joke about the prime minister of Australia, about the wild camels."

While Burnett appeared contrite, her co-anchor, Mark Haines, made light of the issue while she was speaking, holding a stuffed toy camel and making a sobbing sound.

"This one is crying," Haines chimed in.

Burnett then invited Rudd to appear on CNBC.

"We would like to invite him on to talk about that (the camel cull), but also about the Australian economy, at any time," Burnett said.

At the end of the segment Haines said: "Yes, have a great day and save a camel".

Burnett, one of CNBC's highest-profile faces, broke away from talk about Wall Street on Tuesday to launch the verbal attack against Rudd.

"There is a serial killer in Australia and we are going to put a picture up so we can see who it is," Burnett said.

A large photo of Rudd appeared on the screen.

"That would be the prime minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd," Burnett told viewers.

"Okay, well do you know what he is doing?

"He has launched air strikes - air strikes - against camels in the outback."
