(continued)
Even during the dying days of the 2009 Turnbull era, #Coalition #ClimatePolicy extended as far as tepid support for the deeply flawed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme introduced by #KevinRudd and his #ALP government.
Rudd's #CPRS had a 2050 emissions target of a measly 60% reduction from 2005 levels, had no mechanism for increasing ambition, grandfathered in a generous gift of pollution certificates to the worst polluters, and did nothing about Australia's massive and rapidly growing #DirtyEnergy exports (Australia's worst climate crime, dwarfing domestic emissions—a grand atrocity yet to be addressed in earnest by either side of the duopoly).
But the CPRS was nonetheless a climate policy with mechanisms that might have actually reduced Australia's domestic emissions over time, something the Coalition have never embraced in the almost-sixteen years since then.
Dropping the #NetZero2050 fig leaf is on brand.
(NB Once Abbott rolled Turnbull, PM Rudd could have easily passed his signature legislation if he had been at all willing to negotiate with the Greens under #BobBrown, who would have voted for the CPRS as literally better-than-nothing, with just one or two small tweaks—tweaks later conceded by #JuliaGillard in minority government. But Rudd wouldn't even talk to Brown.)

Footage from 2021 of US Ambassador Kevin Rudd calling Donald Trump a "village idiot" has resurfaced, prompting News Corp commentators to call for his resignation.
However, both PM Albanese and Opposition Leader Dutton have stood by Rudd, dismissing claims that he is "under pressure."
Meanwhile, Sky News’ Chris Kenny and other media personalities are demanding the government recall Rudd over his comments.

Isn't this #KevinRudd cunt also a #racist prick?
#AusPol #MurdochMedia #Australia
Murdoch's news.com is advertising/doing it's propaganda schtick in my local shopping centre / mall.
"Jacinta Price rips into Albanese over VIP flights" the 5 foot high advertising screen read for 20 seconds before moving on to the next bit of consumerist brainwashing, an ad about which health insurance you should buy.
#KevinRudd's idea of a #RoyalCommissionIntoMurdochMedia is still a good one.
And seeing where USA, UK, NZ, and IN are, we need it more now.
@strypey
Yes, the #SilentWar on progressives is intense still to this day, the West have refined #gaslighting and vilifying, mostly labeling a public figure who opposes the #corporatists as a #rapist and/or #misogynist. They did that even against #KevinRudd in #Australia.
In the 1930s they were '#industrialists', but in today's era of #hyperFinancialisation we prefer the term '#corporatist", especially over positive-sounding terms like '#neoliberal'.
@yakovlevegor @gabriel @witchescauldron
Sounds terrible. Like a failure of govt to allocate #energy.
Reminds us of the 2009 #PinkBats "Scandal" in #Australia. Our PM #KevinRudd and #PeterGarrett funded as many #builders as possible to install #insulation. It was an incredibly successful #InsulationScheme but #corporateMedia only blame Rudd for the few bad builders that abused the funding, resulting in two worker deaths and some fires.
Aussies save 30% on energy but media focus on bad apples.

Diplomatic cable released yesterday implicates the #USA in the ousting of #ImranKhan.

We had a similar coup in #2010 with the ousting of #KevinRudd in a #corporateMedia blitz.

I should re read it myself actually, he had a fairly complicated / nuanced perspective on it.
I remember it as #KevinRudd being more anti-nationalist than anti-communist, but i suspect I'm projecting my own views onto it.
If you just search for the name Kevin Rudd (possibly adding the word "war" if that gets to much other stuff) wherever you get podcasts / videos / news articles there'll be plenty of free stuff.
Whether you get the book specifically depends on the time and budget you have for books, there's definitely an eBook, it's also on audible.
Maybe you would like a book written by Murdoch 's nemesis, Kevin Rudd. The book has almost nothing to do with Murdoch, but Rudd being Murdoch's nemesis might mean you agree on other things.
The book is about another topic you've mentioned in this thread…
"The Avoidable War: The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict between the US and Xi Jinping's China" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57432319-the-avoidable-war
If you don't want to spend the time and money on a whole book there's quite a few speeches he's given of the short version available free, he's tweeted a couple https://twitter.com/MrKRudd
#KevinRudd is an #Aussie who is currently based in the #USA but was previously a diplomat in #China (and our PM a couple of times in between)
He seems to be an internationally renowned China expert, a few too many non-Chinese guys get that designation, but I've even seen him interviewed about China by #SCMP - an English language news paper from #HongKong
He speaks Mandarin fluently, albeit not perfectly (there was an amusing viral video of him swearing in English about a difficult speech written for him in Chinese) and is one of the only international leaders who spoke to Xi without a translator.
Previously #Rudd was tweeting a lot about #Murdoch but lately it's mainly how to avoid war…
