Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in Tears After Being Dumped by his own Labor Party

Kevin Michael Rudd born on the 21st of September 1957 in Nambour, Queensland, member of Australian Labour Party, from Queensland became the 26th Prime Minister of Australia in December 2007 officially after wining the federal election in November 2007. Mr. Rudd is also the only foreign leader from Western countries who can speak fluent Mandarin (not Chinese, as many would believe Chinese to be language as well as people). He was rated as the most popular Australian Prime Minister in March 2009 poll (not sure how the poll was conducted and who were the participant? The result which I still doubt and disagree), but has now come to an end as the Prime Minister of Australia. Mr Rudd was in tears at his farewell speech on his last day as the 26th Prime Minister of Australia.
In this present modern day politics where people exercises democracy you cannot play Caesar, always keep your eyes ahead where you are heading, remembering to look behind and check your footprints, if it is on the right track, as you move forward. See how many footprints you can see? Are they the footprints of your friends or adversary or Brutus?
Deposing Kevin Rudd as the Prime Minister of Australia was a close and brutal betrayal from his so called long loyal deputy Julia Gillard and his own party colleagues. It was definitely not done in the interest of Australia or the Australian for the good or bad of the country, it was solely a Labour interest and internal war and power struggle, as opposition leader Tony Abbot puts it in words, “Labour Mafia War.”
Sorry, Mr. Rudd for your loss, even though I didn’t vote for you. But it was your Labour colleagues from your own party room, who believed you to be the number one threat in losing the federal election and uncertainty of their own jobs, position, pay and benefits in the government. Wish you best and a more successful future…!

I know I feel so bad for him. I do not like Gillard at all. If she is willing to backstab her own party member, I wonder how much it will take before she betrays Australia, too.

Grow up Heidi, it isn’t about “like”, it’s about which party will be better for Australia. The Opposition will bring back workchoices – they’ll call it by another name, but the product will be the same, there will be changes to Centrelink payments. Members of the Labor party wanted Rudd out, what do you expect Gillard to do? Keep saying no? Politics isn’t about being “nice” it’s about power.

Members of the labor party only wanted Rudd out for their own agendas. Try taking some money away from the rich (mining companies) and into the poor and bam your out. What a joke!

my comment to you sandra who do you think gave us all the the above and more,what has Ms Gillard done except stuff up the school building prgram not to mention what Garett has done or rather hasn’t done so as far as I am concerned his ministry has let him down in many ways.Becuse of her backstabbing and very undignified exit which he did not deserve when you consider what he has done for this country and as a pensioner with many years under my belt I can say this for Mr Rudd he was the best thing since sliced bread and labour has lost a long standing voter in me so has the libs.

It is ironic that a woman supposed to be in charge of “Education”, seem to have little education of the word BETRAYAL. Wed did not vote her as Prime Minister. We stand and watch in dismay that a man fought for the rights of a nation, while a woman fought for her utter ruthless lust for power, at any cost. Don’t worry, election day is coming!

My two (American) cents: I was shocked that Mr. Rudd was essentially overthrown in a boardroom coup. To think we Americans have a problematic election system (the electoral college, difficulties counting votes, etc.)… Wow, shouldn’t the Australian people have had a say in this?
I now have a new found appreciation for the election system in America.

Jeff, to you I say you are dfinately right, I dont understand how we, the public of Australia, have been denied a say in who is the prime minister of our own country. I was a fan of Kevin Rudd, and was proud of him, he got us though the Global Financial Crisis, i didnt even feel it. I’m ashamed of our goverment, and refuse to accept Gillard as my prime minister
