Kevin Rudd is the current prime minister of Australia.

Unlike how the american's refer to their current leader as "president bush"

Australians are too lazy and therefore we just refer to him as Kevin, sometimes Kevin Rudd if its an important day. Hardly ever will you hear and Aussie call him Prime Minister Kevin Rudd
