KEVIN Rudd has recorded a special television interview with News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt.

The Prime Minister discussed his plans for the economy, his controversial plan to slow the flow of boats carrying asylum seekers, and the carbon price.

Mr Rudd says the carbon price could rise above the $6 he promised when he said he would "terminate" the tax, and he refuses to rule out the price jumping to the Budget projection of $38.

On slowing the boats, Mr Rudd says his plan is not failing, but warns voters may have to wait "many months" until after the election to see if the PNG plan will have the desired impact.

Andrew Bolt says the interview, which runs nearly 20 minutes, is at times confrontational.
