Fed: Rudd wishes the nation happy Easter

CANBERRA, April 4 AAP - Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has wished the nation a happy Easter,
following Sunday mass in Canberra.

Mr Rudd and his wife Therese Rein attended St John the Baptist Anglican Church in the
inner-northern suburb of Reid, before heading to the Snowy Mountains for horse-riding.

Mr Rudd and Ms Rein handed out chocolate Easter eggs to waiting media as they joined
about 100 other worshippers at the service.

Afterwards, he refused to be drawn on the subject of asylum seekers, preferring to
spread Easter cheer instead.

"All I'd say to Australians is wish them a very happy Easter," he told reporters.

"I hope all the kids of Australia scored lots and lots of eggs this morning, and also,
that they are very good to their parents."
