JULIA Gillard has taken a veiled swipe at her predecessor Kevin Rudd, warning leadership was not about always being “the smartest person in the room”.
The Prime Minister rejected suggestions she was governing differently after the leadership challenge in February and Mr Rudd’s exile to the backbench, revealing the pair have briefly chatted.
“We see each other in a corridor, we say hello,” she said.
Asked what issues she discussed with the former PM she replied, “The same sort of thing I talk to every other backbencher about.”
But the Prime Minister said the way she ran cabinet was different to the first term of the Rudd government.
“I have never wanted to foster the culture that says you know once the leader has spoken then everyone must defer, she said.
“I don’t think you prove leadership by setting out each and every moment to kind of prove you are the smartest person in the room.”

Ms Gillard also predicted the carbon tax will never be repealed even if Tony Abbott becomes prime minister.
Asked if she would “never, ever” move to relieve community concern by reducing the $23 per tonne carbon price or moving to an emissions trading scheme faster she said: “Oh, it’s done. The legislation is the legislation and it’s done.
“And I actually think if you try to imagine six months in to carbon pricing, what will people be experiencing and thinking then? They’ll have their tax cuts, so their pay packet will be different … many working women won’t be paying tax at all any more and many (will be) seeing tax cuts like $500.”
