Former Australian leader Kevin Rudd wants nomination for UN top job

[Alive]

The Aussie may have to compete with someone like the Thai regime leader. I wish Prayuth would resign so he could compete with Rudd for that job. I'm sure he would win and take Thailand's glory to new levels.

He should be endorsed as a candidate. He has been working pretty hard for it. The opportunity to place an Australian as Secretary General of the UN. I don't think he will get it though. Europe's turn this vote.

Nice thought but NOT Rudd - he has shown a foul temper numerous times. The position needs a diplomat NOT a politician!

It also needs one that doesn't put 'himself' first all the time.

Kevin is a big Noter !

Since when is Dutton the Dill an authority on anything.

Qurten Brice spent over 100 million in Africa to aide Kevin Rudd for this position .was it money well spent?

Her name is actually Quentin Bryce and she was Governor General the government spent the money sending her round the world to get support for Australia to get a seat on the UN Security Committee - which was successful - but it was not for Kevin Rudd. As far as Rudd is concerned he should not be supported for the position of local street sweeper. He was a hopeless manager when he was PM, gave almost incompressible explanations and speeches (maybe these were in Mandarin? who knew?) he was disloyal to Julia Gillard when she was trying to get the Government re-elected, and deservedly lost his seat in the following election. I am no supporter of Labor, Gillard or Rudd but facts are facts.

I think that there are much better candidates for the position.

Your right about facts and the fact is he never lost his seat.He resigned being PM after losing the election.

Rudd did squat, just spending, as I said hand outs for cheap Chinese tellies.....get real.

The govt guarantee on deposits was always going to happen, economics basics 101, labour are fiscally Irresponsible, end of really.

Any Rudd is history.

Shorten is still a twatttt and always will be

Turnbull is Prime Minister in name only. He has zero mandate to do sweet f all. One seat does not a government make and an absolute 'dogs breakfast' for a Senate.

Shorten did unbelievably well another week and he would be forming a government.

Seriously ND you are just on the Rupert Murdoch conga line of Right Wing suck holes. The Telegraph and The Australian propaganda tabloids same as his Fox News BS in America.

When Abbott became Prime Minister and went to New York to meet with President Obama, what was his VERY first stop? Exactly Rupert Murdoch. He got off the plane and went straight to Murdoch's office in New York. He was filmed walking into the building with that shiit eating smile of his. More than likely to give him the green light on media reform that advantaged Murdoch.

Rudd will not get the UN job simply because the next Sec. Gen. will be more than likely a female and East Europe is up next.

Nonesense.

And also Rudd won't get the job because he iscompletely dysfunctional, which is exactly what labour did a knife job on him when he was leader and PM.

Virtually everything Rudd has touched in his life he's stuffed up. Fortunately for him Teresa is half switched on or he'd probably get lost on the way to work.

Rudd = One of Australia's worst PM's.

Labour = responsible for decades of poor decisions and even poorer executions of policy.

Hang your head in shame for trying to defend these morons.

There's 3 types of voters in Australia.

1. Voters that are people that get out have a go and make things happen

2. Voters that sit back and watch other people make things happen.

3. Voters that sit back and say, "what the farq just happened"

Themajority of labour voters come from category 3, a smaller proportion from the second.

Liberal voters come from the first category.

Let's face it 2, you must be a 2 or 3, which is why u like Labour & their constant and irresponsible hand outs. You are on the gravey train and you like it, we understand. It's fine but please don't try to pass off your Heros for anything more than they are. Incompetent fools, which is why the Libs or Coalition have formed governments for about 43 years in the last 70 odd years & Labour has had 27 years of stuffing it up, look at the wad Keating and the way he crashed the Australian economy. Lord give me strength.

Kevin Rudd is flat out running a bath, end of story !
