I truly love and respect Kevin Rudd amazing politician great visionary.. I was greatful and thankful that I was in Australia during his term..Kevin Rudd loves Australia...Australia lives Kevin rudd
+Goose Hill he does not suffer fools gladly, this is true. However, he complained about some staff who didn’t serve him well at all as an attendant for meals and got his order drastically wrong. He was working very hard and was mercilessly critical of the service provided. I’m sure there were other incidents, but I got the feeling he was ill with gallstones and probably in pain, subsequently getting his gallbladder removed. That may explain his cantankerous behaviour, which would understandable, even perhaps forgiveable.
Kevin's speech always make whole audience laugh aloud, either by using his English or his Chinese. not joke, he can speak chinese like professor who born in China.
How come NO senior British politician is capable of speaking publicly with such substance, detail and clarity? Our depressing 'leaders' are not even willing to try. Neither May nor Corbyn would even CONSIDER giving such an overview of their fundamental positions on world affairs.
Without knowing his story - you're right I am not from Oz - I'm simply saying he is clearly a politician who knows his stuff. Your phrase "Media Whore" is meaningless and intentionally offensive.
Bouncybon, don't give too much credence to StylinRyder's comment. He wasn't ousted by his own party for 'being an idiot' it was actually due to his colleagues becoming increasingly frustrated by his avoidance of difficult decisions and a stagnation in setting up and going through with new policies. His intelligence and knowledge has never really been questioned, his suitability as a politician has though. Frankly he is much better off and more suited as the head of a think tank and as an academic than as Prime Minister.
I deeply respect the intelligence capacity of Kevin Rudd, and I know, the Chinese community in general love Trump and his family, daughter Ivanka or even grand daughter Arabella, odd to hear that Rudd has so low esteem about Trump.
Dear Peter you need to check your thought processes and thinking instruments for dissecting different contextual arguments. I'm serious. I'm a teacher of mathematics, chemistry and biology.....not that I'm very good in politics....BUT just to let you I'm not a STUPID person. I'm a Chinese Malaysian who has visited (as a tourist) China for 10 years already. I'm not trying to put u down but sincerely hope that you read more reading material than only those in China.
I reckon it's a narrative he pushes like the rest do (easy and you don't get ridiculed in the msm). Say good things about trump and you're a Naziboi... so I'd be sticking to the first one.
Hmm, and what's scomo doing? Hehe, on ya kev. Never forget what you did for us mate and cheers and thank you, would think the rest of Australia would say thanks too (it's not that hard)
PM Rudd had No Quality Plan for Small Town Australia. I Still have Not Forgiven Him or Labor. Rudd's Potential as PM was Huge, Labor managed Him Poorly. Rudd's Trump Assessment is at Odds with the O'Bama Era. Trump was/is Neccessary. Rudd could have made the Point Australia is Southern Hemishpere, The Best Hemishpere. The Rule of Quality Leadership for Oxfordians is the same as is For All :- You Must have a Critical Mass of Knowledge, Plus watch out for Bubble Traps before You can Provide Quality Leadership. Progress via Technology has Solved the Global Language Problem, this will only get Better. South Korea is a Strong Chance of Solving North Korea, Let's Hope They Realise this. Public Speaking Not Easy. To be Fair to Rudd, this is a Little While ago.
I was surprised Rudd attacked Trump with absolutely no basis. I may have been cautious of Trumps election, but Donald Trump has done a magnificent job so far, unlike Bush, who destabilized the would during a time of peace. Trump may not hide behind popular, Eloquent lies but he's doing a Champion job, with media and liberals attacking him at every decision. I loved Rud as our leader but Maybe Rud should remember how the media attacked him with no basis. I wish we had a leader who loved their country as Trump does. The USA economy has steadily recovered under this Administration., despite the constant liberal attacks. You Americans should support your leader, who hasn't sold you out to Communist China, like our leaders have. Most notable leaders in Australia who helped Australia's Sovereignty, rather than hurt it was Gough Whitlam, Paul Keating and Kevin Rudd, I guess. Although Rudd did get too cozy with Chinese communism he didn't actively destroy (Strangle) our Industry like the opposition did.
Bloody Fucking agent of China. China had over invested and over produced steel, cements, building materials, which it wants to dump on other countries. That is the reason it has created International Infrastructure Bank and One Belt One Road scheme, so that it gives loans in kind to Pakistan, Turkey, Africa, and in future China will demand payments in Dollar money. .Both serves the purpose of China and every other countries get cheated.
This guy has no understanding of Christian theology, he’s trying to sound theologically sophisticated but to someone who’s very familiar with the subject it sounds like pop theology, very basic at best, such a pretender.
Europe did not invent and as a continent did not have slaves. Slavery was a big thing in the Middle East, and in Africa. It was then used by the Americans for some short period of time. Talking about slavery as a European thing is shockingly wrong from a lover of history. China is on the brink of exploding. The Chinese are going to have to slow down their economy and the debt intake. They have to focus on their infrastructure and they’ll have to export less. They are facing the challenges of a fast aging population. Their cities are so polluted that they have become nearly unliveable. What is this guy talking about ? China is a collection of different people. A war would be extremely problematic for China. And when was China last at war ? And before second WW ? This guy is full of shit. This is the most hollow speech at Oxford union ever.
refreshing and very knowledgeable intellectual of our times.
WUMAO.
Come back and fix Australia
I think he heard you ;)
What a joke
I truly love and respect Kevin Rudd amazing politician great visionary.. I was greatful and thankful that I was in Australia during his term..Kevin Rudd loves Australia...Australia lives Kevin rudd
One of the most well informed statesmen in the world
china spy
I enjoyed this very much, thank you...
In 30 years, when your kids wants to learn Chinese to get an access to Chinese market, don't blame this guy fir not warning you.
yes. As an australian teacher in China at the moment...I can see this will be true.
I'm and English / kiwi living in Sydney, and Rud is the only politician I've heard that's made any sense across the board.
Amazingly knowlegable and well-spoken
He lost his leadership of Labor (and thereby Prime Ministership) because he is not a member of one of the major factions in Labor, unlike Julia.
Highly knowledgeable guy, and makes the right assessments
How do you know Rudd's assessments are "right"?
you'd hope a former PM is knowledgeable
+Goose Hill he does not suffer fools gladly, this is true. However, he complained about some staff who didn’t serve him well at all as an attendant for meals and got his order drastically wrong.

Alrukitaf if that’s true then how pathological is the labor party for removing him, god help us if labor gets in power.
Kevin's speech always make whole audience laugh aloud, either by using his English or his Chinese.
not joke, he can speak chinese like professor who born in China.
Always a voice of reason in a time when everyone is peddling identity politics bullshit.
Great presentation
I miss a PM who understands the problem and anticipate with a fix. Not those who disguise or devise the problem.
A typical USA and Zionist puppet like zelensky S
is there some reason why none of these videos include the date the speaker actually made their address?
Shutup
the fact that he was given speech in Oxford instead of stay in top office in Australia is just another example of fail of democracy
will there be any consequences for Rudd's scolding Trump?
Why US cannot have someone like him as president?
Dora Wang Australia stupidly got rid of him!
The US would no longer exist if he was president.
Trust me as an Aussie you can have him.
Properly rather bright but he cannot relate to general man ( person ) on the street.
Dora Wang USA s voters are not as cool as Australian voters.
@Srt8 Lambro 'Australians' didn't though did they? He was removed in a very undemocratical coup. Then miraculously reinstated.

Important to note that this is a former politician. If he were still PM it is unlikely he gives the same speech.
Strange how if you're not Australian, Rudd comes across as a guy with a very lively intelligence.
Bouncybon, don't give too much credence to StylinRyder's comment.

OK. Got it.
I know this can be said about a lot of political leaders but people seems to either love Rudd or hate him 😂. No middle ground!
Just became a fan of Crocodile Kev
I deeply respect the intelligence capacity of Kevin Rudd, and I know, the Chinese community in general love Trump and his family, daughter Ivanka or even grand daughter Arabella, odd to hear that Rudd has so low esteem about Trump.
Peter Wang If you're American, he'll try to have you killed.

@John Smith Same reply again, Surely that's not one of your smurf accounts yet again Tony haha. Twat.
@John Smith oh yeah, this is big brain time.
Hey uh, any actual criticisms of Rudd, or just meaningless hate? I'm genuinely interested to know
@John Smith ouu a 3 month old comment by a wanker who can't give credit when due... 2020 been a real show stopper mate, howabout that Lnp now aye?
@John Smith elaborate gumby please... don't let Paul Murray do all the thinking hahaha.
This didn't age well
I so wish KR was out PM for many years. He was out greatest hope for an amazing future.
This China praising didn't age well...
Probably the best start of an Oxford Union talk ever: "well done nerds!" Haha
why would some one as cleaver as rudd believe in religion
How long was he the PM for Australia?
2.5 years and then a couple of months after he won back the leadership
Not long enough!
PM Rudd had No Quality Plan for Small Town Australia.
I Still have Not Forgiven Him or Labor.
Rudd's Potential as PM was Huge, Labor managed Him Poorly.

this hasn't aged well
wow you know how to put em to sleep kev good on youuuuuu
In Summary: *Orange Man Bad*
Gostei.
DONT FALL FOR IT
Best Australian PM since Whitlam.
Rubbish!
Ousted by the 'right' of his party, get it right.
Only a dick would say that.
no Gillard ...saying this as an Austraian...she never got a propper go.
@@soulsphere9242 true Labour shor themselves in the foot.
JESUS IS THE KING
China respects human rights he said. What a fool!!!
Maybe you should pay attention to the stuff he's been saying recently...
But China's per capita income is still low comparatively to the Western economies.
Hi all "A TOP DUDE " CHEERS, ROBERT DOUST,.🙄
👎just a colonists 😕
surely he knows its a fairy tale.
You have these people in Oz too huh
Can’t believe people voted for Abbott instead of this visionary.

Bland and predictable
