Video leaked of Kevin Rudd swearing

[86]

So a video has 'leaked' of Kevin Rudd during his PM days swearing in frustration about a speech he had to make in Mandarin. In response to the leak, he's admitted he made mistakes whilst as PM, and suggesting the leak may have come from the Prime Minister's office..I think the video is funny

LOL
Tbh, the fact that this has been "leaked" now, and most likely by Julia Gillard's side, makes me dislike her even more.
There's something about KRudd that's so.. Normal? The strip clubs, the swearing etc

This video was obviously leaked by the Julia Gillard camp, because of the whole leadership debate going on.

K. Rudd handled it very well IMO.. he just admits that he swears from time-to-time like every other human being because at the end of the day his human too.. I think it's very disingenuous and pathetic that people who opposite Mr. Rudd are attempting to discredit him because he swore.. very childish.

People sure do have short memories. Was Kevin Rudd really better than Julia Gillard on a political level? To me, they're both the same. I tend to prefer the Liberal Party, but I don't like Tony Abbott either. :/

Danny Bhoy gives a great summary of Australian Politics in under 2 minutes.
Lol one of my favourite comedians.

I'm not sure why so many people see this as a negative thing, to me, we're seeing a more human side of Kevin Rudd.  I think it's very easy to look upon our leaders and see them as perfect people that don't swear, don't lie, don't goto stripclubs, etc and this is because the media portrays them in a negative spotlight where this should not be happening (see; Kevin Rudd hair dryer incident).  I find him as a much more relatable just simply by his frustration, anger and ability to swear. 

That being said,
vote Liberal.

This is off-topic, but I *may* have considered it if they weren't led by the total idiot that is Tony Abbott. Honestly, can you imagine him being a good PM (I'm not saying that Gillard/K-Rudd did particularly well)? I can't.

I miss John Howard.

Our country needs vision. This is ridiculous. Politicians shouldn't be employed to flaunt power; they have a moral obligation to provide the best for their citizens.

This is actually crazy for a developed, stable nation.

I couldn't agree with you more. Abbot is not a great leader. If the Liberal party had someone else (anyone else ), they would be dominating the polls (even more so than they currently are). I reckon Peter Costello would be regretting retiring. Perfect opportunity for him.

Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience

I wish we had someone like Obama

Obama's not doing a great job. A lot of what he says is just talk, to be honest, and that sucks because America is in deep trouble. But even so, it's better than the banter that's going on at home.
