  4. “You said bad?” #Trump asked. [Trump still talks like a child]

    #Rudd began to say: “Before I took this position, Mr President … ” before being cut across by Trump.

    “I don’t like you either, & I probably never will,” he said, to loud laughter in the room, before immediately moving to another question.

    #Albanese himself was among those chuckling.

    #auspol #Albo is an embarrassment.

  5. On 13th Feb 2023 -“It was right for prime minister #Rudd to make the apology in 2008. It’s right that we recognise the anniversary today,” #Dutton told parliament.

    #Spud will say anything if he thinks there’s a vote in it.

    Remember - #Dutton, then a shadow minister, infamously #boycotted #theapology delivered by Kevin Rudd. #StolenGeneration #auspol

    Firstly I don't think those in, or joining the #Greens appear pragmatic enough. #TonyBurke would be excellent in my humble opinion. But any change needs to be respectful, timely and nothing like the #Rudd moment.

  7. CW: #Rudd #Dutton #ScoMo #Gillard etc.

    @Milkman76

    Well yeah, he's a centrist, but Swan was the economics guy… (there's more interesting IP issues in India and Southern Africa… another-nother-story)

    I don't agree with #Rudd on everything, but i consider his a point of view wiorth listening to on some things. mostly i like this "let's NOT do WWIII" idea..

    I actually much preferred #Gillard at the time, another long side track… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadersh (i wish we still did spills like that, #albo is unimpressive)

    But when #ScoMo was on a nuclear military shopping spree and demanding #WHO investigate the Wuhan lab … and #Dutton was doing his chest thumping "prepare for war" rhetoric … i wanted the guy with at least half a clue about China to come back…

  8. CW: AUKUS and 2008 crisis

    @Milkman76

    #AUKUS was the Liberal party's dumb idea, as was following the USA into #Iraq and #Afghanistan

    #Rudd became Prime Minister in 2007

    Lucky timing for us not having Liberals in charge in 2008. Treasure for the labor party was Swan … abc.net.au/news/2011-09-21/swa

    Unfortunately their attempt to tax the mining industry buckled under public pressure from idiots who were swayed by this garbage…

    your "super" ≈ 401K - but possibly less attached to employers… my entire knowledge of 401K is one John Oliver episode, but it sounded like super.

  9. CW: definitely not "hysterical anti communist"

    @Milkman76

    #Rudd was the leader of the #Labor party #ALP - centre left major party - the same party as #Whitlam - Rudd is more Conservative than #GoughWhitlam - but still miles to the left of the USA #Democrats

    The hysterical anti-communists are in the #Liberal party #LNP and right wing minor parties (the USA needs minor parties, see image, but that's another story)

    #NancyPelosi and the Clintons would probably be in the Liberal Party here?

  10. CW: a book suggestion "The Avoidable War: The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict between the US and Xi Jinping's China"

    @Milkman76

    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" goodreads.com/book/show/574323

    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 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…

  11. Great to see the last real leader of #Australia, #KevinRudd, talk about ending #RupertMurdoch's #misinformation empire.

    #Rudd is going after the dead heart of #Murdoch's #NewsCorp and that is #realEstateDotComDotAu. Many people don't know that it's owned by the #disinfo outfit.

    #KRudd has been attacked by the #fakeNews, #USOwned empire since rallying interest with a #petition.
