EUR:Timetable not principle will guide PM's decision on Olympics

KEVIN RUDD says he hasn't made up his mind whether he'll be at the Beijing Olympics
.. and it entirely depends on timing constraints.

The prime minister says he's told China he's not in a position to confirm whether he'll
be in Beijing in August .. but he says the decision won't be based on matters of principle
.. like Tibet.

Chinese President HU JINTAO invited Mr RUDD to the Olympics when they met at APEC last year.

Mr RUDD heads to Beijing on Wednesday as part of his world trip.
