Gary Hardgrave has called for Australia’s Ambassador to the United States Kevin Rudd to be dismissed to restore Australia’s relationship with the US and particularly Donald Trump.

Hardgrave said on 4BC Drive “I think the failure to secure a meeting reflects poorly on our US ambassador, he should be recalled, it’s time to replace him as a gesture to the United States.”

“So I think we’ve gotta give an inch or else the PM will find that the president will stay a mile away from us.”

“Donald Trump doesn’t see a meeting with him (Anthony Albanese) as a critical issue.” ” Hardgrave continued.
