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.

    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".

    @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.

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.

One is persecuting millions of Uyghur people, the other is not. Want me to keep going?

That's dangerous, regardless of which country that person is from.

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.

    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.

From the moment the senator got a chance to speak, he was on the offensive and asking mostly unrelated & arrogant questions in an attempt to defame him. Someone so closed off to listen and reasonably discuss something, is someone very sure of themselves. Someone enabled and encouraged by official media agreeing with him. Kev (& I assume yourself?)

    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.
