Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has used a lunch at the prestigious Foreign Policy Forum in New York, to call for a re-invigoration of world bodies like the UN and the International Monetary Fund.

Mr Rudd says the two institutions' rules and membership have become dysfunctional. He also says the G20 should form a new "driving centre" of global politics.
