Kevin Rudd speaking to the Senate Inquiry into Media Diversity in Australia

- I appeared today before the Senate making the case of 500,000+ Australians who signed up for #MurdochRoyalCommission.
I’d like to thank each of the senators who participated, and more importantly all of those signatories who made this happen.
I signed the petition. I’m not a robot. So glad you’re doing this. Feeling relieved you’ve taken the Murdoch bull by the horns.
@WUMAO KILLER how many do you have?
@WUMAO KILLER good for you
Ditto. (I might be a cat, but certainly not a robot.)
@@JSmith73 cats are cool 🐈
@WUMAO KILLER you need multiple to fit all the dick extension spam emails you receive and need.
OMG do we not just do full titles anymore?? The Honorable Kevin Rudd, Former Prime Minister of Australia and Current Reigning King of Handball Australia - THANK YOU!
It's telling how much respect Kevin commands in his considered and eloquent responses and to some occasionally very daft questions and reactions. Rennick, for one, is clearly intimidated by that and reduced to slander. There's a delicious sense of irony given the forum.
You're such an important and refreshing voice and presence, Kevin, and a wonderful role model. In line with your recent book on the point of courage, you demonstrate that in spades by your unflinching tact... and a sense of humour, to boot. Keep on!
Your so smart
Just to think, ten short years ago we had a PM that had a skillset beyond evading questions and pronouncing three-word slogans.
who?
@@phillipchambers6055 Well, I was referring to the Hon Papa Smurf AC, but I spose anyone in my living memory Fraser -> Gillard would also technically fit the bill.
I know!!!
Slogan 1. helping working families
Slogan 2. reducing and eliminating all types of emmision 😁
Slogan 3. revenging the kick in the ... by your colleague (Gillard) at all costs.
He succedded only the third one😊😁😆
@@harold8886 All excellent policy platforms - what's your point?
Absolutely powerful stuff, Kevin came completely equipped.
May not look like it now, but this was an important part of History.
“I know your busy and have a lot on your plate”
Other guy: *smashing out a game on his phone.*
Pretty sure I saw him jiggle like he was laughing at that comment 😂
Leave him alone, he was only getting paid $280 a day for "travel expenses" on top of his $290,000 a year salary, if he wants to play on his phone that's ok?
Candy crush saga

This may be your greatest legacy to the benefit of Australia. Your power as a private citizen is right up there as your time as PM. Well done Mr Rudd. You're a genuine defender of our democracy and society!
Pity our basic education lacks the ability to reason, we would have more responsible voters when we install it.
I really admire the way KRudd speaks and keeps his composure. Such a professional. 👏
I actually fell sad watching this.
Watching this man with with all his interlect and compassion, someone who despite being orders of magnatude smarter than his opponents, will always address them with respect and as an equal. Where did we go so wrong? How did we as supposed demographic nation allow corporate thugs to swindle us out of the kind of just and forward thinking leadership this man empowers.
Why the hell do we tolerate anything less than this from our elected officials?
Compassion , .. the word has been hijacked by the left , now means leftist agenda
The fragility of the general australian ego when it comes to chinese relation is what drove the direction post rudd government and of course his own downfall. The simplicity of playing ball to reinforce economy and relations as our prime minister speaks fluent mandarin is a big no no, with names such a tyrant put on his head, a bounty that wanted to be claim by "everyday" australian allowed our first female prime minister to drive the blade in his back...now we are nothing but the rapid bulldog that attacks what the US masters commands, targetting china with whatever reason and opportunity as it arised, while the whole world does not conceive to make the big red their enemy, we are the patsies of the western alliance, a stick to poke the bear and a joke on the global conference.... maybe we did needed the tyrant, because we are what "everyday" australians saids "soft".
We gave up on prosecuting corruption.
When LNP steal from the taxpayers, the tradies and other LNP voters are like "Lol, GOOD ON THEM! I WOULD STEAL TOO IF I COULD GET AWAY WITH IT, LIKE THEY DO!"

Kevin Rudd has a global perspective with a balanced and diplomatic views.
I agree. He has a personal axe to grind but I think it is warranted given his treatment. It doesn't seem to have affected the clarity of the case he makes against Murdoch.
Yes. he is global elite who fly jets to fight climate change? one rule for them and other for others. What is his carbon foot print? fools world
@@nagabuzz I can live with that apparent hypocrisy given the difference he can make to global policy to fight climate change. You and me? Not so much!

Your remark is very Racist ...
Meanwhile didn't Gladys literally get caught in a corruption scandal? What happened to that?
Leave her alone! She was unlucky in love, and blinded by her own heart for that silly man.
The poor woman just wanted to be left alone to push her endangered species closer to the brink, in peace!!
Exactly, what an utter joke.
Where previous Premieres have fallen on there sword for much less, current one keeps going.. don’t forget pork barrelling is now Ok.. protected by Murdoch media and 2GB
It was smoothed over by the Newscorp which turned it into a teenager love misplaced story. Murdoch & Co at their best!
Swept under Murdoch's rug, as per usual.
Excellent work, Kevin. THANK YOU for pursuing this on behalf of millions Australians.

K-Rudd dismantled Senator Rennick, especially when it came to the poker machine question. Absolutely sweet.
Rennick is an idiot, at this level he should have known the answer before ever entertaining asking that pokie question.
That was soooooo unprofessional I was surprised it was allowed. He just was worried about his property value most likely.
Terrible questions from Rennick, surely he should be concerned about Murdoch too.
just listening to the senator through all his questions. He is an absolute slimy coward, and you can tell, his pockets are lined with money from those who want the big Rudd, and his royal commission, to fall apart. Yet when the rug is pulled from under the senator, his baseless, venomous, and cowardice demeanor is shown of full display as he leaves with his tail between his legs, and pants around his ankles.
Keep in mind, these are the kindest words I can come up for just how little this man serves his country, over his personal interests.
You need no qualifications to get into government. Think about that for a few moments.
Watch Pauline Hanson Submarine. Sad but true.
After 4 years of hearing trumps speech’s on the news I love the constructive intelligent arguments and smooth voice Kevin Rudd has
That's our Kev!
Smooth and very, very competent.
@@CityThatCannotBeCaptured and very, very obedient to the globalist oligarchs.
Smooth like baby shit 🙌
@ben swanwick So if you hire an electrician to do work on your house and they happen to electrocute themselves you should be charged with murder? The businesses employing those young tradesmen are responsible for their safety not the person or people paying them to do the job!
👌👏👏 Thank you Mr Rudd. You could just walk away from all this crap but you stand up and are still fighting for us. Credit to you Sir.
Rudd looks so pleased with himself at the opening. Doing the people proud Rudd, keep it up!
You mean he is making the elites proud who want to rule the world.
@@k20t30pl Murdoch is an billionaire with massive control over media and who makes and breaks politicians and their careers. ... Sounds like an elite who is trying to rule the world, I don't think Rudd's making him very happy.
Narcissist always look happy in the spot light where they can show how clever they are.
Didn’t he say he was a “gift” to Australians.
Reality- a bitter toxic narcissist who led labour to its biggest election defeat. The Australian people spoke loudly. Not even labour supporters were voting labor.
Lol when does he not? He's fighting the good fight, let's hope he resists making it too much about himself
Yeah because he has 500,000 Australians including me who want him to get that Royal Commission. Go Kevin
K Rudd: “Has anyone here felt personally victimised by Rupert Murdoch?”
All of Australia: *Raises their hands*
What? Do ya reckon there is a free press somewhere in this country? "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
H. L. Mencken Every journalist in this country plays that game.
Please and yes I'm paying tax for this scornful full again grow up
You should have said like the response is woeful
bahaha hes just butthurt his epstein activities have been exposed
yeah coz being told the truth is sooooooo victomising ... idiot
Well done Rudd.
In my understanding , Kevin is the only PM who have strategic view of our Australian future during last 20 years.
Absolutely
Gillard was better in my opinion. She got an insane amount done in her short time under difficult circumstances.
@@ReubenSilveira6 Partially agree, but in my opinion, Gilllard is more like a high professional manager. She can make thing done but do not have foreseeable view of the future of Australia. She is just a politician who play with dirty but not statesman.
@@ReubenSilveira6 I donot think Rudd is good PM as he cannot play with the dirty politics. But he is a good person and really care about every normal Australian.
Yeah. Pink bats, school halls, open borders, over a thousand drowned .... great vision.
Could you imagine the screams of outrage if 70% of Australias media was owned by a Chinese Billionaire instead of an American Billionaire, personally I don't see the difference.
@@JRWall-hf9mq Obviously they're American, citizens of the USA
That's a really good way to illustrate the concerns of many Aussies about media monopoly and also clarified it in my mind. Thanks for the quick, easy explanation - will use that in the future!
I see a difference. Large media in China is state controlled and it's solely to benefit the state .Large media from a non ally country (China) is far more dangerous, and given the recent events I think my point is proven further. One is punishing us economically disproportionately with tariffs due to asking for an investigation in the origin of covid, the other (the US) is not. One is persecuting millions of Uyghur people, the other is not. Want me to keep going?
@@motobazuka2535 One of life's lessons is the character of a person is not dictated by which country they are from or what race they belong to. Peter Warner made a comment on the dangers of having one single person containing the majority of the media which in turn control the narrative of this country. That's dangerous, regardless of which country that person is from. If you can't see that, and think having Murdoch in such a position to influence this country is a good thing, there is nothing more to say. Right now Murdoch owns this country - just ask Sco Mo.
@@coma144 the distinction is that you can't be big in China unless you're in bed with the CCP. 'Private' companies in China get to where they are because they're allowed to. As soon as any media or tech company steps out of line, they're punished (such as Jack Ma). If a Chinese billionaire owns 70% of our media, it would be worse, since it would be backed by the CCP and be far more prone to CCP propaganda which routinely trashes Australia
You know our justice system is fucked, when you can literally see that the senators are TERRIFIED when talking about Rupert Murdoch.
And even defending him with questions like “well what about this other publication that was running a character assassination!” As if that was the question or point
If you think the Chair Senator is scared you should see her wreck the News Corp CEO in the 2nd part of the hearing.
It's the same on the left with George Soros.
Kevin Rudd is on point with every part of his argument, but the system is corroding badly and Rudd is the one that is actually trying to fix this problem.
It seems like his the one that is trying to keep the justice alive, because no one is above the law even billionaires, if a private school boy rapes a girl they should be held accountable for his actions. Not buy his way out with mummy and daddies money, this type of behaviour only enables the perpetrator to reoffend and not really learn his lesson.
Rudd is like a crusader of Australian politics, but too bad he got stabbed in the back by his own party which happens too often in the politics of the parliament.
@@damientech88 literally none of us give a fuck about Soros, we even use it as a fucking meme
This should be mandatory viewing for everyone! My opinion of K Rudd continues to grow.
Pleased to hear that Turnbull will also be part of this enquiry .. and Thank You Kevin Rudd, for using your voice to fight for so many of us.
It's shocking and scary to think that in 2021 in this country we live under the almost despotism of this man and many Australian's are blind to it. Well done KRudd keep going.
Yeah good thing he's only un-blinding people to one side of it and suggesting it's a one way thing. That couldn't possibly go wrong and end us up in an even more politically volatile situation.
@@trebleizerquartet1717 the problem is sky news is creating a narrative that of which they can deny, even if terrorists name them in their own manifestos
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 You're setting a false dichotomy. This is a practice that both sides of the media can and do partake in.
Also how does someone outside of their agency name dropping them implicate them? You could go on a killing rampage and name drop me as your main influence going off of that logic. I could do the same to you. Anyone could do that to anyone, the law would become a gun with no accountability.
The dude that did the Christchurch massacre name dropped PewDiePie, telling everyone to subscribe, does that make PewDiePie an accomplice or even associated in any way? He also dropped Innitial D Deja Vu memes and shit, also things that have nothing to do with radicalized violence.
I think your logic is a form of violence. It seeks to ascribe guilt to people where they're not guilty and impose consequences on them where they're not due, which is straight up evil.
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 Your logic is also not much different to that of Evangelical Christians if you look at the pattern of behavior. You're just as bad as the hard right.

45:00 - 50:09 was utterly embarrassing. Mr. Senator didn't even know which way to leave afterward, that's how hard he was rocked. He was either paid off by the Murdoch mob, hungover or both

This is the most important video for Australia, potentially ever.
And yet we only find out about it by being directly subscribed to this channel, its a bit too meta for my liking
Bigly.
After 's succulent Chinese meal', I agree
Kevin was the best PM we ever had by a long shot I still think about what we could have accomplished as a country if hey didn't game of thrones him
You do realize Rudd's ego destroyed labor and has kept them from power federally for over a decade? That is one hell of a legacy.
@@chebabaluaye8163 Rudds ‘ego’ is what made him PM in the first place. He had a passion and determination that the other politicians didn’t share with him. He’s one of the few uncorrupt in a system of spoon feeding he demonstrates in this hearing.
@@joddog Your comment speaks volumes about the lack of discernment among the Australian people.
@@chebabaluaye8163 wow, way to miss the mark, and show just how good a job the murdoch media has down of hoodwinking the public.
Rudd the Prime Minister who made apology to Aboriginals. Assisted us to ride the GFC well. Set up the NBN and other infrastructures. But got knifed by Labor because of someone wanting to get into Power after knocking off John Howard. Without Rudd Labor could not defeat Howard in the election
Sincere thanks to Mr Rudd for bringing this important discussion into the public arena. I thoroughly enjoyed watching with interest. All the best to you and your efforts.
Honorable Kevin Rudd; I’ve always enjoyed watching and listening to you all these years since you were PM. Your calming voice, your intelligence, and your views provided to us is a very valuable insight and for this reason, I truly thank you! Please continue to do what you do... keep up the great work! This is remarkable!
As an American, that man is so well spoken, and it's not even funny.
Holy hell, can we get a leader like that democrat or republican? Someone who can put two sentences together with well thought arguments and not just insults against the "other side"?

Does not Kevin Rudd have a donation fund like Hilary Clinton, in which dodgy people donate money into so that they can get the service of dirty politicians to do their dirty work. It's how these corrupt politicians funnel dirty money into their back pocket.
@@k20t30pl i didn't realise Rudd was a elected official.
If you wanted to look deeper into this though I suggest you look into .
The liberal party "sports rort"
The Sydney airports land deal (nsw gov paying 10x land value to a party donor)
Passing government contracts to newscorp (without use of the official tenders processes)
Gave the go ahead to prosecute "whistle-blowers" who call out government conduct.
Voted against a "code of conduct" which wouldn't have prevented the "donations " you speak of.
Look at the UK and how the conservatives have bled the country dry, look around you and be very bloody worried.
haha thanks for the laugh!
@frank ryan , he is a former Prime Minister who now assumes a position like Obama, Hilary, Clinton and all the corrupt politicians who still speak out on public issues. He should just leave.
In regards to the list of issues you mentioned did you not realise that all the politicians were doing those sort of things for a very long time. It's just that when all the Labours (the left) plans of installing cultural Marxism in an endeavour to divide the country so that the world elites can then come in and control us all (or in other words, sell out the country), that Labour then decided to turn there back on the pact they all made with each other. This was only done in an effort to nail the last nail in the Australian peoples coffin.
If only people could stand back and see the whole picture.
The whole government has been corrupted and the people have known this for a very long time. But this clip right here is dangerous. Its sole attention is to implement a Chinese CCP brainwashing media so they can gain complete control and power. It's communistic in intent. Not good at all.
I love what you’re doing! Please don’t stop trying to hold Murdoch accountable!
you should look at the tap dance that james okeefe from project veritas is doing the heads of leftists main stream media ... exposing CNN and the likes to cover up real news. kevin rudd and the likes are all loons. wake up commies.
@@berardoferrari Commies? 🤦♂️😅
Courteney you may not have been taught this at school, because our schools have been hijacked by leftist philosophy (a much bigger problem than media concentration, but, whatever...) but we live in a LIBERAL DEMOCRACY. This is a particular kind of system of government and economy that didn't come out of nowhere and is precious and rare. Mr Murdoch is held accountable EVERY SINGLE DAY by the millions of Aussies who choose to buy, or NOT to buy his content. THAT is the democracy of the free market. It only gets screwed up by power mad egomaniacal nutjobs who want to interfere and think everyone should live like them.
Shouldn't he mention the overwhelming left-wing bias, or is this more partisan bullshit?
i think all media needs to be held acountable not just the right if any thing im more worryed about the people who burn buildings down in there spare time
Just I mean. My god. Honourable Mr Rudd. I have all the respect. I was enthralled the entire time. Beautiful work sir. This is what a real hero looks like. 🙏🏻
Keep going Kevin! The clusterf#$% that is America will soon be Australia if no one pulls Murdoch's leash.
Oi... I represent that remark.
it appears (quite clearly) to me that KRudd has the sharpest mind in the room... Perhaps he was the most prepared. It saddens me to think a person on the outside of politics puts up a better fight for our country than those inside.

Thanks so much for representing us to the Senate, Rudd. I'm grateful these media diversity issues are being discussed at the Parliamentary level. FINALLY! Keep it going, Australia
that victorian senator is a baby
'boohoo i got stuck at home so i didn't kill people waaaa'
Loved how he walked out straight after too
When Dan Andrews got the premiership he can have hardly imagined what was coming, fires then pandemic. He has dealt with this all, for the most part very competently, not afraid to make hard calls when needed.
It was all happy and positive and as soon as Kevin pulled out the DAN-MADE DISASTER paper: "THAT IS A FAIR PIECE OF REPORTING 😡😡😡😡"
Agreed what a clown
yeah right you are the baby actually
I've known of Kevin, but I've never known much about him. This video, somehow, came up in my autoplay, and I caught myself enthralled by his particular eloquence. He made me feel thoroughly invested in the topic, even though I'm from the US.
I'm sitting in Indiana and am developing a political crush on o' Kev here
Senator David Van immediately leaving after the schoolyard-esque dig at Dan Andrews was nothing short of laughable. Then you have Senator Rennick deciding that a senate inquiry was the perfect time to deliver (what he no doubt considered to be ) a skilled gotcha about pokie introduction in QLD. A jump from his ego to his IQ would certainly be a fatal fall. Kim Carr seemed to have a vested interest in this inquiry since he wanted to wring out as much as he could from Kev.
That was absolutely disgusting from Senator Van. Evident that the Murdoch misinformation has seeped even into our own parliament. That he would make such misinformed and biased comments during a senate hearing that is literally about the dangers of misinformation is, like you said, laughable.
Rudd is one of the few who is warning us against the dangerous precedent of the political persecution of Julian
Assange.
Rudd is all the way with totalitarian control. Don't kid yourself that he is on the side of liberty or the blue-collar worker.
@@deanpd3402 care to elaborate?
And still Trump and now Biden hasn’t pardoned Assange in line with their extradition orders. Still OUR government, of either persuasion, hasn’t put a case for our Australian citizen. That is how far world governments have become corrupt. Drain the swamp, what a joke.
your easily pleased....
He is telling us one truth (about the media climate) while lying about everything else. He is bed with dis information deep staters.
I mean when a senator cannot even distinguish opinion piece from objective reporting. It really shows how over arching this problem is. When people (including senators) start to accept the opinion of one man as a factual account, how can you deny the influence of that one man? And how can this not be seen as a threat to democracy?
Nicely (and objectively) put! There are those on the right who will say that left leaning media e.g The Guardian are also guilty of mixing opinion with editorial content, but they are just wrong. I have never seen an article in The Guardian with a headline "Tyrant Trump " (as opposed to the Telegraph's "Dictator Dan" ).
Rudd should run again for PM, he's far more intelligent and switched on than the other gibbons we have on offer at the present time
I feel like he can do more damage being on the outside of a political position. I like him outside, shining a light on all the things people on the inside do in the dark.
I wonder if Albanese is a Murdoch stooge, because how on earth can any one vote for him- he is so slow, weak and has no policy.
@@cumoreview442 most likely trying to avoid the eye of Murdoch. We saw what happened when Shorten was outspoken with his policy.
@yyy BIGhhh sadly, the only thing Albanese is managing to slay is his office chair. I don't think I've heard him put forth a single policy, let alone oppose anything the cretinous SloMo does. I fear that unless the ALP wakes up and replaces him with a vertebrate (i.e., someone with a spine), we'll get another of Murdoch's cronies-du-jour as a PM at the next election.
Yeah Albo is not a strong enough leader, potentially weak enough that he could lose the next "unlosable" election.
Kevin the hero we needed and who we didn't deserve and is still fighting the good fight✊

Yeah that bloke denies climate change, spreads false information, is a notorious anti-vaxxer & said Russia’s a part of the West… what a plonk. Gerard Rennick’s his name.
I am actually impressed by, Senator HANSEN YOUNG. She handled it well, listened and asked the right questions.
Bit of a fence sitter though and obviously avoided demonstrating agreement with any particular points.
@@benhaas4537 I would personally call that doing her job, as any good elected representative should. Not dismissing or accepting any part or side just because, _never_ being concrete in your opinion until you have as much information as possible... she's also the Chair of that committee/inquiry/whatever if I'm not mistaken so I personally hold that expectation of her to be as 'indifferent' as reasonably possible to either "side" as you cannot show favour or deference in positions of leadership if you are to expect to be able to command authority and have that authority respected.
SHY has always been terrible with Dorothy Dixers.
Kevin, it's so great that you are now in a position to go after the ignorant bastards. Thank you. We, the thinking people, have had enough.
Thanks Kev I bought a Honda lawn mower with that 900 grant u gave us! Also bought a house with the 17 thousand $ first home buyers grant. What a great pm.
Way to go Kevin, you really have identified the crux of the issues here in Australia, let alone what’s happened in the US, let alone the Uk. Murdoch’s power of influence needs to be broken. He is a clear and present danger to us all.
Thank you Kevin for all your hard work at getting this campaign to this point, and standing for all Aussies today.
He doesn’t stand for me
He detailed reasons why You should be concerned. Not just why he became concerned.
Anyone who can't or refuses to listen or even try to understand why having One man giving you all the information is either unbelievably naive or just an idiot.
Get em' Kev, you bloody legend.
The huge elephant in the room is finally being discussed... Thank you Kev, great job!
Why didn't he do something when he was in power. That's right to busy killing apprentices with his pink batts scheme.
"The honourable Kevin Rudd."
Damn right he is.
this is so needed, and you can tell how in murdochs pocket they all are by the lines of questioning

lol thought i recognised that profile pic. hello
@@magicdweedoo whatupp haha hope ur doing good man 🧒 fuck murdoch
@@GoreSpattered yep! i'm good, and likewise friend!
34:40 what a boss Kev! Don't let him cut you off to prevent the facts coming to light.
Loved that bit!
I was waiting for the thug life shades to drop down from the top.
Exactly, was a disgusting attempt to cut Kevin off.
Yeah that was smooth as
Kevin Rudd is a national treasure. Composed, well spoken, highly intelligent and formidable. Respect.
🙌🙌🙌
Well spoken . remember his expletive ladden degradating dressing down he gave to people when in private ?? He is a bitter old fraud !
@@newman653 The Honourable Mr Rudd is no fraud, and if he has ever been under any duress in the past and suffered a momentary lapse in gracefulness, he can easily be forgiven.
It is obvious for all to see that Mr Rudd predominantly strives for a high standard of civility, and does so with dignity and honour.
Please lighten up buddy, someone's gotta slay the dragon and not all super heroes wear capes.
"His name is Kevin, citizen of the Commonwealth" 🙌🙌🙌
@@newman653 and where do you think you heard all about those private outbursts time and time again? We have heard more from the Murdoch media about Rudd's outbursts during an extremely stressful job than we ever heard about the clear corruption in NSW.
Well Joe, from my sister who worked in former minster Peter Garretts department during the insulation fiasco & other colleagues in various departments & the consensus is he is a total knob. Go & see what his own party members said about him , then watch him for yourself , there is only one conclusion to be drawn .
@@newman653 the thing is I don't think his personality takes away from, or is relevant to, his arguments against the Murdoch Media Monopoly.
People in the comments against this investigation seem to only be able to make personal attacks against Rudd himself and not the points he's making.
That regional Queensland senator was so unprofessional with his tone and how he formed his questions. He could have made the same query in a much more respectful manner, then he brings up something entirely irrelevant to the discussion (Pokie machines) and Rudd even shuts him down on that point. Love what you're doing Kev keep it up.
I'm glad you had a chance to touch on the ABC's "resourcing decisions."
Thankyou Kevin from the bottom of my heart for pursuing this and Thankyou for keeping your patients with the senate committee...keep going keep going the people are behind you. Xo
Thanks so much Ruddy, I support you, I'm one of the people who couldn't sign it due to technical issues but I certainly would of if I could have !! Love your work !! 💖
I wish Kevin could be PM again. The only good politician we’ve had in a long time.
Rudd is too good for our nation.
He should move to china
@@iidentifyasvaccinated8877 don't worry, scummo is moving Australia to China
@@stevesavage4247 lmao
Daniel Andrews
@@stevesavage4247 you muppet ,there lies the difference between you and me,i understand both governments have sold us out while you believe labor cares about you lol, the minute they took treason away for politicians it was the libs but labor never objected.just think for one moment both libs and labor have been in power.take pauline as an example she was set up by libs sent bankrupt but now she is worth 15million when will the people of Australia wake up the only the ones making coin are the pollies.change the rules then leave for a nice industry job you helped make..remember sam
@@DOWNUNDER. don't see how u think the prem of a state has more power than the federal gov?
Thank you Rudd, don't let off the gas on this one. Mandatory Education on detecting and combating news media disinformation would be a great start for the future.
Thank you for standing up for all Australians on this issue, Kevin.
Kevin, thank you so much for representing us in this talk and being the voice of most reasonable Australians. People can feel there is sometjing off about this and we need to look deeper. If there’s nothing to worry then all goods but if something is truly there then we need to dig deeper
Keep pushing, Kevin. Australia is behind you!
Best thing for Australian democracy would be proper media diversity laws.I don't ever remember voting for Murdoch but he has ruled us for far to long.
as has facebook and twitter and NPR and many more.
berardo ferrari True but Murdoch is the log in Australia's eye, we need to take it out before we can point at all the parasites that consider us secondary priority to other nations. Murdoch has a far more vested interest in specifically Australian propaganda.
Go Kev!
Get ‘em Kevin! I voted for you in ‘07 and was devastated when you were ousted. So glad you’ve stuck around to take on the Murdoch media circus
Keep fighting Kevin, we love what you do
Australia was lucky to have Kev as the PM.. keep fighting the good fight Kev!
Thank you Mr Rudd for your efforts in relation to this issue, and for displaying the type of leadership we need in Australia.
Well said. All of you here, give me hope, hope l had had lost.
Well done Mr Rudd.
Well said Kevin, I really appreciate you taking the time to put so much into this issue!
The humility when he said he was afraid when he was Prime Minister. But didn’t leave it at that after leaving his position. He identified a problem and now doing what he can.
Your discussion with "we the people", was fantastic today Kevin!
Thankyou mate !
48:40 to 50:07, tries sucking up to murdoch and gets called out, then storms out hilarous
Sounds like a total dick.
Lockdown last year was hard, I’m not doubting it, but there’s a whole lot of issues wider than just Dan Andrews, such as that quarantine should be out of hotels in special centres and managed by the Federal Government.
And say what you want about Dan, he and his team recognised the issues and did bloody hard work to bring us down from 700+ cases to virtually zero. All the decisions were also strongly science-based in the aim of saving lives and minimising economic damage.
Absolutely agree
storms out pfffff, talk about watching what you want through your bias lens
