When I was a kid, I voted against Rudd because I thought labour was bad for the economy. Now, here I am, posting on this channel, trying to increase its traction and undermine the corrupt power of the Murdock media, with the ultimate goal being to get someone like Mr Rudd back in office. So yeah, change is possible.
Was he Prime Minister? I think he was. You can disagree that he was a good leader, but he quite literally had the job of a "leader" in the general sense.
I get it now. I get why this guy is the most loved PM. He's an excellent political strategist, well spoken, composed, has a spine and an overall gentleman. This is what a PM is supposed to be and act like. Man's not even in office and he would do a far better job representing Australia to the world.
There is something oddly adorable and endearing about Kevin Rudd timidly pointing the RuddBot death cannon at different people throughout the course of the conversation
Rudd describing Murdoch’s method of ripping the guts out of an opponent and burning it, is probably the most 40k thing ever. Are we sure he doesn’t know about Warhammer?
hey Jordan, how can I "like" when watching RUclips on android TV. I barely 'like' anything cos I'm a very private person, however you interview with Kevin was so brilliant, informative and gives me so much hope. I'm 61 yrs old and so very disappointed in our Aust politics. I live in Eden and have been through the threat of been burned up and can't believe our governments response. Listening to you gives me a lift, many thanks. Murdoch, take him on, such a dangerous man, needs to be exposed further.
Like is part of the second level of options on the Android TV version. Bring up the progress bar and I think the first button under the bar is "additional options" or something like that.
The first step in combatting Murdoch is awareness. The next step is avoidance. Tell your friends that they should not listen to Murdoch. "You read that paper, that is Murdoch, that is bad."
This is as amazing as it is depressing, I remember being filled with optimism at 14 years of age for Kevin 007, he gave me hope, 3 years later it became a decade of misery for Australia.
When this interview started I was thinking, "Why on earth would a woman throw her underwear at him?" By the end of the interview I was thinking, "Smart woman."
I only started paying attention to Australian politics in the last few years and I had no idea they had a PM who could string together a coherent sentence, nevermind speak so eloquently and with a good sense of humor. Great interview!
Regardless of any views on Rudd as a politician or as a person.. he makes me miss the time when politicians could have an intelligent conversation and respond to actual questions instead of spitting out prepackaged talking points about “what working families really want to know”?
Ron Hitler-Barassi I remember seeing interviews with Rudd and his answer would at least relate to the question and lay out some kind of argument. By contrast abbot would answer everything regardless of the topic with “pink batts, school halls, stop the boats”
"Our job as progressive politicians is always have a radar a decade+ out, and to prepare us for the next wave of challenges. We've stopped doing that." Couldn't be more on the money, Ruddy. Our obsession with news cycles and election cycles has crippled our ability to effectively manage our country.
Imagine for a moment that the international left was still doing that when the Global Financial Crisis hit. Australia was relatively insulated by China's construction boom and their colossal USD reserves so all Kevin really had to do was follow the Keynesian script and use our AAA bond rating, one of the few going around at the time, to fund the infrastructure projects that Howard had neglected to invest in. What should have been tabled by the centre left everywhere else was a new economic model based on progressive values that targeted finance sector fuckery. But they were caught napping. Instead, we had UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown prophesising before the crisis that the end to the boom-bust cycle was nigh, then during the aftermath, centre-left parties across Europe, like France's Socialist Party, ceded their working class base to insidious National Front type parties, ostensibly for advocating a bit less brutality towards border crossing refugees that the US and NATO operations had created and for their supporting role in implementing the austerity policies created by the aforementioned finance sector fuckery. Policies and operations that made no economic, geopolitical or political sense, only ideological sense... You have to ask those at the centre left political apex at the time, did you fall asleep at the one lecture at uni describing Karl Marx's crisis theory? Because I can assure them, the sycophants across the aisle certainly didn't and they've been playing them like a fiddle ever since.
When I was working at Federation Guard doing opening ceremony for parliament back in 2012, Kevin Rudd held a door open for me, I said cheers mate and he shook my hand and said thank you for my service. Nice bloke.
Really cool to see Kevin in this light, he’s undeniable the most charismatic PM we’ve had in recent memory, very clear to see why he was so relatable. Awesome interview jords
Never would've thought when I first started watching this channel for Yilmaz impressions I'd be here years later watching a former PM having a serious discussion about media corruption that I consider better than what we're getting in the mainstream media, but here we are. We live in the weird times.
Keenan Why’d he step back into that crappy job, tho. His life must be balanced and enjoyable now. Wouldn’t wish that job on y worst enemy, type situation. Have you been into parliament to sit in the ‘stalls’ and watch em? Yuck. No wonder they’re chuggn back the booze over lunch. I saw a high up pollie smashed midday in a very nice restaurant grapple,with the pull/push door to the toilets - it wasn’t pretty. He glared at me too, held my gaze and stared me down. I thought wtf?? Not mentioning any names, fck that.
Murdoch was the name of MacGuyver's indestructable arch nemesis: _coincidence?_ Actually, Macguyver vs Murdoch would be a good way to frame K-Rudd's crusade...if it was still 1987, which the lady who brings my meals informs me it isn't, which raises the question of why she's the spitting image of Kylie Minogue, give or take 80 odd pounds (give, obviously). I'm wasted as an unpaid, unread online comments section pundit. I shoulda cracked onto a cushy job on the -Death Star- Australian back in the 80s, sigh. Say, did I ever tell you about the 80s, or did you manage to escape somehow? Damned if we didn't have we had the best shows on the tele, the best fashion trends (clothing, upholstery, furniture, architecture, you name it), _and_ the best songs on high rotate on all the am radio stations *_ever,_* and all at the same time to boot: talk about a once-in-a-lifetime trifecta! Sadly I was in prison for a string of relentless gratuitous murder attempts against Richard Dean Anderson (AKA Macguyver). At least I think they were gratuitous, never quite figured out what the heck gratuitous meant...wouldn't have slowed me down at The Australian either; back in the day broadsheets used to have all sorts of different kinds of editors and such. Back then they were still called broadsheets, too; nowadays all anyone talks about is Googling all over each other's Facebooks 'n what-not. It's a crying shame, it's wrong, and it's against the Queen, and that's just for starters! don't let these dry eyes fool you, I've got a prescription for that...oi you off already? You hardly got here! You didn't let me tell you all about Tattoo from Fantasy Island: *_"DA PLANE! DA PLANE!"_* - Murdoch (yesterday)
Good on him. 😃Your dad, that is. Good on your dad. I hate Murdoch, what he has done to 3 countries' media (US, UK & Aus).😥 Everyone should be made aware of this. I get my news from France 24 and DW (Germany). Your R probably aware that they have French news in Arabic too.
Tanya Plibiseck... She is made of the same cloth. Honestly I am hoping Labor wake up and start pushing her forward for PM now for the next election. Play the stupid press Game.. Get her face out there.
Of all the things K.Rudd did whilst on politics, the fact that he speaks Mandarin and that he wanted us as kids to learn Mandarin for LOTE always stuck with me. It's such a smart and valuable language to learn considering our place in the world and the global trade benefits it would bring. I do hope kids in future have Mandarin as an option.
This is legendary material. Kevin has been under-appreciated as a prime minister. I'm grateful for everything he did for this country, and we were so lucky to have him at the helm during the GFC.
Sadly, he was a terrible prime minister which is why his own party ditched him. He had the administrative and management ability of projectile vomit. So, yeah, bright guy, fun to hang out with, but utterly incapable of doing the behind-the-scenes real work of government.
@@ScrivenerofDoom I used to feel less favourably about Rudd. Reading Auspol books has helped me realise that we owe him and his Labor gov a great deal for his response to the GFC in particular. But I can't really disagree that his management increasingly descended into something messy. The Killing Season book makes you eye roll for its insipid author-narrator, but the interviews are revealing. Kev has many points in his favour both in and out of office. He's unquestionably immensely intelligent and witty. I appreciate his recent diplomatic work, fight against Newscorp, and friendship with Jordies. But even some of his favourable actions as PM were underpinned by chronic administrative blunders and questionable party/individual behaviour. There must be alternative universes where Labor successfully campaigned a mining tax (that blunder gripes me more than most). But it's hard to be comparatively critical in the ScoMo era of Auspol. I have high hopes for Albo with regards to good Labor leadership.
I liked Kevin too. But then he insulted the Chinese in Chinese. Or at least that is what the media told me. I didn't check it, 'cause I don't speak Chinese. I just thought "what is the good in this guy knowing Chinese?". Problem is I don't like 'Albo' and I hate 'Scomo'. K-Rudd was better. I liked Turnbull, he drank a beer whilst holding a baby.😃 Who got rid of him? Either Trump or Murdoch!
@@vanessamuir4086 He was good for a laugh like when he bit the onion with the skin on. But seriously, I hate that guy. It was good when Turnbull rolled him and when Stegall beat him.
Kevin being knifed in the back by his own party has the same energy of the opening of hot fuzz when all the cops want angel out of the precinct because of how well he did his job
You can tell by his mannerisms guy is a raging psychopath, I can see why they got rid of him. He has some good points, but working with the guy seems like a pain.
@@Diode5 a better consultant than leader. While this was an excellent interview. You can tell Rudd is a man with high standards and no apologies when reminding people they aren't meeting them. A difficult type of leadership to implant on a large group, better for a small, tight nit team.
He was kicked out for working his staff too hard. Think about THAT. The guy RUNNING OUR COUNTRY was FIRED for making the government do too much! Unbelievable.
Rudd always was very well spoken, a man who actually answers questions clearly and concisely. I miss that about him, genuinely informative hour of my time well spent.
This needs to become a regular thing: "Jordan and Kev talk politics". They just need to compress it into a single issue per episode, discussed in the time it takes to eat a Bunnings sausage sandwich.
Watching this it's easy to see K Rudd is whip-smart, perceptive and he has a lively - and likeable - sense of humour. He could have been a really good PM. Such a wasted opportunity!
@BS Handle Created I'm certainly a Yank against the jailing and persecution against Assange, as it violated our constitution to behave in such a manner
The annoying part is he was great at doing what he said he was going to do, but politics in their party killed them. Also another annoying part is Julia would have been a great next prime minster after Rudd. Seems Murdoch and shorten fucked it all. I am actually more pissed off at shorten though.
With power comes great responsibility... FriendlyJordies. Keep up the good work in this space, the future of Australia needs people like you and K.Rudd.
Jordies, you need to make clips of this interview with semi-clickbaity titles of the topics he covers. I feel what he talked about is very important and I'd like to be able to share certain 'palatable' bits with my friends. Cheers mate, doing the Lords work.
That was an awesome interview, he's a bloody legend for coming to see you. It's great to hear a politician speak candidly about these things and give an honest opinion without needing to fear that their words will be taken out of context and weaponised against them.

@@kaelanmacaulay1943 Facts don't require your fickle approval to be fair, measured and accurate. Do any other channels broadcast programs that regularly criticize their parent network or offers scientists the opportunity for rebuttal to sensationalist reporting?
Jordan, I initially found your channel through your MAFS recaps which I find hilarious. Somehow ended up here and watched the entire 51 minutes of this interview with my favourite ex-PM. I don’t follow many people on RUclips but my respect for you and what you stand for has now increased x10 so defs will be subscribing. Thank you ❤️
The takedown of Scotty from Marketing and the endorsement of Mr Friendly at the end - this channel is up there with Media Watch and needs it's funding Quadrupled too!
I just thought I'd skim through it but ended up going back to the start and watched the whole thing, how the fuck did people not like this bloke; aaw thats right, the fucking bias ass media-fuck you Murdock, fuck you.
"What they've learned to fear is the retribution which comes the next day, as the Murdoch Empire turn on you and then eviscerates your character and then extracts your entrails and then tie them into small pieces and then burn them on the ground and offer them as a sacrificial offering to the vultures on a Tibetan Plateau." I'm like 80% sure this is one of those elaborate Chinese insults/curses. What a legend.
Hey Jordie, current Journalism/Politics student in Uni here: What can people do as independent/non murdoch press journalists to combat intense media bias from News Corp? Is there anything that people can do to genuinely galvanize a corporation like the ABC to focus funding on media watch, to protest against character assassination within media and literally fight back against a losing battle to huge media corps like Murdoch's? P.s. Loved the interview, Rudd seems like great bloke to have a conversation with, plus yours and his assessments are just spot on in this we need more!!
This was very well done Comrade, I'm so proud of you. I did my bit for Kevin in 07 at my shop in Ha Noi & we had a bumper evening afterwards too with lots of real good people enjoying a wonderful victory. As someone who, when they were an official with the CFMEU, got bashed badly in the media but laired up, finally got the retraction I so richly deserved by that SMH, low rent hack Malfunction Brown Nose on page 19 !!! I'm a big fan & again, you did so well with this interview, thanks Comrade !!!
In an alternate universe where Kevin Rudd wasn't kicked out of parliament, Australia could've progressed so far ahead of other countries we would've had flying cars by now.
I can now understand why my parents/other adults at the time were so relieved when Rudd was elected. Being in the current demographic of 10 years+ with liberals as our 'driving force" it will be as relieving for us as it was for our parents when these sad excuses for politicians finally get booted out! Great video!
Seriously though, this is the type of PM I want. Talk is real, have a laugh, make fun of your oppositions dirty tactics (try harder boys!). Policies aside lets start with the character first...it's easy to vote for someone that said he would do things, lies or does nothing at all. I want someone to really passionate about Australian people and would take personal responsibility to get his polices delivered.

So get this, after watching your interview, I decided to share it with an acquaintance who works at one of News Corp's still functionally profitable metropolitan dailies and within ten seconds of doing so, he sent me back this... "I'm not going to watch that because, to be quite frank, I ain't gonna be lectured to by Kevin fucken Rudd. No offence." 🤔
@@friendlyjordies He's actually very much of the centre left tradition, at least in his policy outlook, but when you're inside the machine it's very easy to get caught up in the sideshow instead of the substance. Particularly when the internet has starved your truth-telling role of its revenue and your bosses aren't willing to admit to themselves or you that it's not about the numbers anymore. It's about crowd control...
Progressive to what point? When has the left gone past a point that is unacceptable? I mean there is a politician in California that wants to exempt LGBTs from being prosecuted for a sex with children 'because it's not straight sex... so it doesn't count.' I hope we can both agree that that is progressiveness going past a very clear line in the sand... What is your opinion?
Kevin was the man of the people. We fought to vote him in and were gutted to lose him. Australia could have become a much better place if media and party politics hadnt taken over. We need some real heroes now
Mad respect for Rudd here. Sorta feel sorry for him to be honest. EDIT: In hindsight I actually liked the fact that K Rudd has a loose tongue it shows transparency "F this F that" you can't script that... it's coming from within..... And it's what we all keep asking for in our leaders... "Someone that isn't a scripted bought & paid for suit & tie robot... but actually has heart & charismatically speaks from it K Rudd is the charismatically linguistically educated ozzie bogan! =D
Ah Mr Rudd.. I hope you know that your supporters with Brains who aren't swayed by the Murdoch group were heartbroken by the loss of you as our PM. I was 27 and I actually pulled over the car to cry like a child. you truly were the People's Prime Minister.. I am hoping Tanya Plibiseck will be pushed forward for PM and I am hoping Labor will start to try to push her face out there to the public. I had the honor of working with her Briefly back when doing Political Advocacy for people experiencing homelessness under Project 40 and she was genuinely the real deal too. It's because of people like yourself that I am now going back to study law and social justice. I want to push back against the injustices in our country and fight for those with out a voice thanks to those in power now. You are an inspiration.
I cried too,and that is very rare.I was sincerely in shock when democracy was whipped out from under us by removing an elected PM whom a lot of us actually loved.
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum....” ― Noam Chomsky
For a guy with ‘no personality’ I found this both entertaining and informative. Please read this in comic guys voice... Best. Political. Interview. Ever.
Broooo. I member when chad kevin 07 talked to me about buying ice creams when I saw him in the ol Parliament house. He was so friendly and nice. What a man
Rudd unplugged in fantastic... He always was a down to earth guy - and I'd love to talk to him one on one... His insight is fantastic... On a funny note, during my many years of handling airforce jets in Melbourne with various MPs on board, Rudd was the only person to acknowledge that the people working there existed. I always respected him for that.
@blue heeler Black Saturday Fires (2009), PM Rudd went to affected areas where he assisted victims. (He also did the same with QLD floods). Morrison went on a secret holiday.. then tried to create a photo op (shaking hands) with victims. LNP have more snakes in their grass than LAB.
blue heeler Because that’s just fact. Nothing the Liberals are doing are benefitting actual Australians in any way other than the rich, the religious and the corrupt. They have no sense of country, no relationship with the people, they’re completely cut off from society and reside in their own bubble where they just do whatever the hell they want to do regardless of how many lives they screw over in the process. One party actually wants to progress this country into a brighter, more stable future where people have jobs, better wages, stronger healthcare and welfare systems and actually wants real equality across the board and undo archaic laws that are decades old and absolutely irrelevant now. A party that actually gives a voice to future generations rather than outright ignoring them and catering to a generation in power that’s had its times and needs to learn to embrace change. The other party? Morally corrupt, blinded by greed, driven by division and class warfare and cares only about themselves and what they desire. We’re held back on so many levels as a country to the point where we’re laughed at by other countries because we choose to languish in backwards thinking and spending money on all the wrong areas that are not pushing us forwards (hell our internet and welfare systems are listed as some of the worst in the entire world, even behind certain third-world countries. That’s an embarrassment.) Liberal isn’t even about liberating the Australian people. It’s about confining and controlling them. It’s about warfare on every aspect of what defines you as a human being. They want you powerless, poor and weak. They want to control all aspects of culture without a balance, they couldn’t care less about the future. They want to own it through brainwashing people via their own, corporate media which successfully keeps people falling for the stories they want to the public to see and believe in, demonise all enemies and ensure people’s beliefs line up with theirs through propaganda and spins that cultivate lies and bullshit. They do not care for this country or for this world. That is the universal difference between the two. Labour isn’t perfect either, in fact until we actually have people breaking the chain and voting independent leaders into positions of power that represent the people, we won’t truly have a bright future or an actual government who’s interests lie with the Australian people. However one is better than the other and Labour is the lesser of the evil the pervades our Government. At least they have policies that would work out better for us in the long-run and aren’t run by materialism and greed.
blue heeler Then I feel for you if you want to be a pessimist and never want to try and achieve change. I could easily be a pessimist. There are many times I have been. But that’s no way to live life and things can change and be better if people woke up to that fact and stopped being arrogant in their pessimism. That’s just a way to deny accountability for complacency in allowing the corrupt to rule over society. Corruption only dies when people actually destroy it. Things do get better, if you will them to. Thinking they don’t only drowns you in the black ocean.
@blue heeler You're just being a coward mate. Have the gall to take a stance, it's easy to take a back seat and blame anyone who supports one thing or another. Being cynical has its warrants but letting it become you makes you just as bad as the one's you deem "puppets". Not making a choice at all is indeed making a choice, you're choosing to say fuck you to the world and therefore fucking yourself in the process. Labor isn't perfect, but they're better 1000x over than the liberals.
@blue heeler facts and reasons!!!! whats one fact or reason why labor is bad compared to liberal.... i believe you but you need to back up what you say
always forget how intelligent Rudd is and how much he understands the current problems. Would love to see him return to politics again and run for the top spot.
This was one of the most entertaining political interviews I have ever watched. How about getting Keating on & to balance things up, get Abbott on, that would be a hoot.

Australia was relatively insulated by China's construction boom and their colossal USD reserves so all Kevin really had to do was follow the Keynesian script and use our AAA bond rating, one of the few going around at the time, to fund the infrastructure projects that Howard had neglected to invest in.
What should have been tabled by the centre left everywhere else was a new economic model based on progressive values that targeted finance sector fuckery. But they were caught napping.
Instead, we had UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown prophesising before the crisis that the end to the boom-bust cycle was nigh, then during the aftermath, centre-left parties across Europe, like France's Socialist Party, ceded their working class base to insidious National Front type parties, ostensibly for advocating a bit less brutality towards border crossing refugees that the US and NATO operations had created and for their supporting role in implementing the austerity policies created by the aforementioned finance sector fuckery.
Policies and operations that made no economic, geopolitical or political sense, only ideological sense...
You have to ask those at the centre left political apex at the time, did you fall asleep at the one lecture at uni describing Karl Marx's crisis theory? Because I can assure them, the sycophants across the aisle certainly didn't and they've been playing them like a fiddle ever since.
Weve got the same thing going on in canada
When I was working at Federation Guard doing opening ceremony for parliament back in 2012, Kevin Rudd held a door open for me, I said cheers mate and he shook my hand and said thank you for my service. Nice bloke.
bestinterview I've ever seen, why does this hunk of charisma have to leave? We need him here, we need you back Kevin 007, make Australia great again
Really cool to see Kevin in this light, he’s undeniable the most charismatic PM we’ve had in recent memory, very clear to see why he was so relatable. Awesome interview jords

I just streamed this to the TV and watched it with both my parents. My dad sweared at Murdoch for a good minute in Arabic and in English afterwards.
Murdoch was the name of MacGuyver's indestructable arch nemesis: _coincidence?_ Actually, Macguyver vs Murdoch would be a good way to frame K-Rudd's crusade...if it was still 1987, which the lady who brings my meals informs me it isn't, which raises the question of why she's the spitting image of Kylie Minogue, give or take 80 odd pounds (give, obviously).
I'm wasted as an unpaid, unread online comments section pundit. I shoulda cracked onto a cushy job on the -Death Star- Australian back in the 80s, sigh. Say, did I ever tell you about the 80s, or did you manage to escape somehow? Damned if we didn't have we had the best shows on the tele, the best fashion trends (clothing, upholstery, furniture, architecture, you name it), _and_ the best songs on high rotate on all the am radio stations *_ever,_* and all at the same time to boot: talk about a once-in-a-lifetime trifecta! Sadly I was in prison for a string of relentless gratuitous murder attempts against Richard Dean Anderson (AKA Macguyver).
At least I think they were gratuitous, never quite figured out what the heck gratuitous meant...wouldn't have slowed me down at The Australian either; back in the day broadsheets used to have all sorts of different kinds of editors and such. Back then they were still called broadsheets, too; nowadays all anyone talks about is Googling all over each other's Facebooks 'n what-not. It's a crying shame, it's wrong, and it's against the Queen, and that's just for starters! don't let these dry eyes fool you, I've got a prescription for that...oi you off already? You hardly got here! You didn't let me tell you all about Tattoo from Fantasy Island: *_"DA PLANE! DA PLANE!"_*

@@rainbowmoon3998 I agree.
@@rainbowmoon3998, Albo is up for the next election, if he doesn't succeed, then maybe Tanya will be up.
Optamizm or Marles will step down to allow Tanya to be deputy.
Of all the things K.Rudd did whilst on politics, the fact that he speaks Mandarin and that he wanted us as kids to learn Mandarin for LOTE always stuck with me. It's such a smart and valuable language to learn considering our place in the world and the global trade benefits it would bring. I do hope kids in future have Mandarin as an option.
This is legendary material. Kevin has been under-appreciated as a prime minister. I'm grateful for everything he did for this country, and we were so lucky to have him at the helm during the GFC.
Sadly, he was a terrible prime minister which is why his own party ditched him.
He had the administrative and management ability of projectile vomit.
So, yeah, bright guy, fun to hang out with, but utterly incapable of doing the behind-the-scenes real work of government.
@@ScrivenerofDoom I used to feel less favourably about Rudd. Reading Auspol books has helped me realise that we owe him and his Labor gov a great deal for his response to the GFC in particular. But I can't really disagree that his management increasingly descended into something messy. The Killing Season book makes you eye roll for its insipid author-narrator, but the interviews are revealing.
Kev has many points in his favour both in and out of office. He's unquestionably immensely intelligent and witty. I appreciate his recent diplomatic work, fight against Newscorp, and friendship with Jordies. But even some of his favourable actions as PM were underpinned by chronic administrative blunders and questionable party/individual behaviour. There must be alternative universes where Labor successfully campaigned a mining tax (that blunder gripes me more than most).
But it's hard to be comparatively critical in the ScoMo era of Auspol. I have high hopes for Albo with regards to good Labor leadership.

Every Labor Prime Minister has been better the every Liberal Prime Minister for as long as forever.
I liked Kevin too. But then he insulted the Chinese in Chinese. Or at least that is what the media told me. I didn't check it, 'cause I don't speak Chinese. I just thought "what is the good in this guy knowing Chinese?". Problem is I don't like 'Albo' and I hate 'Scomo'. K-Rudd was better.

Love Rudd's idea of running the ABC's Media Watch every night. I was thinking the same myself.
Jordan, I initially found your channel through your MAFS recaps which I find hilarious. Somehow ended up here and watched the entire 51 minutes of this interview with my favourite ex-PM. I don’t follow many people on RUclips but my respect for you and what you stand for has now increased x10 so defs will be subscribing. Thank you ❤️
It is so refreshing to see Rudd - especially considering all the slomo crap..
Thanks Jordies! You took me back to a time when we had a decent leader 👌
The takedown of Scotty from Marketing and the endorsement of Mr Friendly at the end - this channel is up there with Media Watch and needs it's funding Quadrupled too!
media watch is the only based thing on the ABC
The fact that Scott Morrison is a member of the Pentecostal Prosperity Gospel 'Horizon' church says enough about his character and world view.
Easily minipulated and gullible, we wonder why most oil, mining and gas companies have him in their back pocket
He can lie and connive to the maximum extent possible while simultaneously indulging in the fuzzy coziness of his God's forgiveness.
It’s Beneto Mussolini all over again
Ohh so he's even _more_ of a piece of shit than I previously thought.

Well done Jordies this is a fantastic interview.
Never thought I’d willingly sit through an hour long interview with a politician
watch at double speed then... :)
I hate politics but it was incredibly interesting to watch? And I didn't even realise it was almost an hour long
I just thought I'd skim through it but ended up going back to the start and watched the whole thing, how the fuck did people not like this bloke; aaw thats right, the fucking bias ass media-fuck you Murdock, fuck you.
"What they've
learned to fear is the retribution which comes the next day, as the Murdoch Empire turn on you and then eviscerates your character and then extracts your entrails and then tie them into small pieces and then burn them on the ground and offer them as a sacrificial offering to the vultures on a Tibetan Plateau."
I'm like 80% sure this is one of those elaborate Chinese insults/curses. What a legend.
Hey Jordie, current Journalism/Politics student in Uni here:
What can people do as independent/non murdoch press journalists to combat intense media bias from News Corp? Is there anything that people can do to genuinely galvanize a corporation like the ABC to focus funding on media watch, to protest against character assassination within media and literally fight back against a losing battle to huge media corps like Murdoch's?
P.s. Loved the interview, Rudd seems like great bloke to have a conversation with, plus yours and his assessments are just spot on in this we need more!!
well if you want money you are fucked, find a new profession
ABC. Always Broadcasting Communism. Your a fool if you think the ABC is not bias just like the Murdoch press.
This was very well done Comrade, I'm so proud of you.
I did my bit for Kevin in 07 at my shop in Ha Noi & we had a bumper evening afterwards too with lots of real good people enjoying a wonderful victory.

I can now understand why my parents/other adults at the time were so relieved when Rudd was elected. Being in the current demographic of 10 years+ with liberals as our 'driving force" it will be as relieving for us as it was for our parents when these sad excuses for politicians finally get booted out! Great video!
Seriously though, this is the type of PM I want. Talk is real, have a laugh, make fun of your oppositions dirty tactics (try harder boys!). Policies aside lets start with the character first...it's easy to vote for someone that said he would do things, lies or does nothing at all. I want someone to really passionate about Australian people and would take personal responsibility to get his polices delivered.
"Just about to talk to someone you might have heard of him oh, a little, Kevin Rudd!"
everyone outside of Australia: "who?"
"You'll really know I'm getting traction when we march through the streets with Murdoch's head on a pike" can't believe K-Rudd said that.

Rudd unplugged in fantastic... He always was a down to earth guy - and I'd love to talk to him one on one... His insight is fantastic... On a funny note, during my many years of handling airforce jets in Melbourne with various MPs on board, Rudd was the only person to acknowledge that the people working there existed. I always respected him for that.
I'm 25 minutes in and I have to say, Kevin Rudd seems like one of the most intelligent politicians getting around.
@blue heeler Black Saturday Fires (2009), PM Rudd went to affected areas where he assisted victims. (He also did the same with QLD floods).
Morrison went on a secret holiday.. then tried to create a photo op (shaking hands) with victims.
LNP have more snakes in their grass than LAB.
blue heeler Because that’s just fact. Nothing the Liberals are doing are benefitting actual Australians in any way other than the rich, the religious and the corrupt. They have no sense of country, no relationship with the people, they’re completely cut off from society and reside in their own bubble where they just do whatever the hell they want to do regardless of how many lives they screw over in the process.
One party actually wants to progress this country into a brighter, more stable future where people have jobs, better wages, stronger healthcare and welfare systems and actually wants real equality across the board and undo archaic laws that are decades old and absolutely irrelevant now. A party that actually gives a voice to future generations rather than outright ignoring them and catering to a generation in power that’s had its times and needs to learn to embrace change.
The other party? Morally corrupt, blinded by greed, driven by division and class warfare and cares only about themselves and what they desire. We’re held back on so many levels as a country to the point where we’re laughed at by other countries because we choose to languish in backwards thinking and spending money on all the wrong areas that are not pushing us forwards (hell our internet and welfare systems are listed as some of the worst in the entire world, even behind certain third-world countries. That’s an embarrassment.)
Liberal isn’t even about liberating the Australian people. It’s about confining and controlling them. It’s about warfare on every aspect of what defines you as a human being. They want you powerless, poor and weak. They want to control all aspects of culture without a balance, they couldn’t care less about the future. They want to own it through brainwashing people via their own, corporate media which successfully keeps people falling for the stories they want to the public to see and believe in, demonise all enemies and ensure people’s beliefs line up with theirs through propaganda and spins that cultivate lies and bullshit.
They do not care for this country or for this world. That is the universal difference between the two. Labour isn’t perfect either, in fact until we actually have people breaking the chain and voting independent leaders into positions of power that represent the people, we won’t truly have a bright future or an actual government who’s interests lie with the Australian people. However one is better than the other and Labour is the lesser of the evil the pervades our Government. At least they have policies that would work out better for us in the long-run and aren’t run by materialism and greed.
blue heeler Then I feel for you if you want to be a pessimist and never want to try and achieve change. I could easily be a pessimist. There are many times I have been. But that’s no way to live life and things can change and be better if people woke up to that fact and stopped being arrogant in their pessimism.
That’s just a way to deny accountability for complacency in allowing the corrupt to rule over society. Corruption only dies when people actually destroy it. Things do get better, if you will them to. Thinking they don’t only drowns you in the black ocean.
@blue heeler You're just being a coward mate. Have the gall to take a stance, it's easy to take a back seat and blame anyone who supports one thing or another. Being cynical has its warrants but letting it become you makes you just as bad as the one's you deem "puppets". Not making a choice at all is indeed making a choice, you're choosing to say fuck you to the world and therefore fucking yourself in the process. Labor isn't perfect, but they're better 1000x over than the liberals.
@blue heeler facts and reasons!!!! whats one fact or reason why labor is bad compared to liberal.... i believe you but you need to back up what you say
always forget how intelligent Rudd is and how much he understands the current problems. Would love to see him return to politics again and run for the top spot.
