She freaked out into political obscurity for a moment and had to have a cone.

[5teampunker]

Lol that was epic! The thing about Kevin Rudd is that he wasn't an embarrassment when he represented us overseas like Julia Goulia or Howard

[cliptwingz]

(chieftainz)

[cliptwingz]

Me and this bloke, Julia love each other. Imagine if you locked us (me and Swan) in the same room!

Point being you'd need an indian warrior (brave). You see he'd have the pipe and his big ol' lazy grandpa'd have to have the stash.

[muddwell]

smug cock.

[gigaboat]

HEY KEVIN I got a better MANDARIN JOKE you can use next visit ....

.Q . Whats better than licking a Mandarin ??

.A . Licking Amanda out !! , yeehaa .

[myfunkychannel]

damn his chinese is better than mine

[L42A1]

@myfunkychannel

His Chinese is better than the English subtitles

[princejackie]

LOL U ARE THE MAN RUDD!

[t3hwasabi]

haha he's awesome.

[4duff5]

Wow Kevin Rudd has a great asset in being able to speak Manadrin!

[macboyau]

What's the problem with Rudd speaking Mandarin? If more people were multi lingual maybe there'd be a better cultural understanding in Australia.

[OzzyPatriot]

Fabian Socialist George Orwell, friend of Fabian Socialist H.G.Wells, wrote the book '1984', which was his dystopian vision of 100 yrs of Fabian Socialism in England (Fabian Society established 1884)

Bob Hawk Fabian S/Rhodes Scholar

Kim Beasley Fabian S/Rhodes Scholar

Julia Gillard Fabian S

Malcolm Turnbull Rhodes Scholar

Tony Abbott Rhodes Scholar

er.. Look. I'll let Kevin Rudd explain it to you:

watch?v=C5WMxn8rh9Q

[hsd628]

So now all Rhodes Scholars are Socialists?

What the fuck are Australians smoking? I know there's a strong tradition of anti-intellectualism in Australia, but "OzzyPatriot", quite frankly, is BATSHIT insane. And Australia's FULL of people like him.

We've become a nation of morons.

[OzzyPatriot]

@hsd628

You're speaking for yourself of course.

Google:

'Rhodes Scholars Fabian society'

for a start. But I suspect you are not interested in research. When the young intellectual is found and given scholarships (bought off) then returns, educated by the elite, to authoritative positions in our communities, the people are right to be anti-intellectual to some degree.

[tatooed78]

Yeah, right. All of your anglo aussies need to go back to britain. That is where you belong. You are the immigrations indeed.

[xshamousx]

@tatooed78

the word is "immigrants"

learn English

[JohanRegus12]

None of those are true, and you know it. Even suggesting that the stimulus economy he's practicing which has saved the Aussie economy from going bankrupt because of the neo-liberalist banker-loving policies Howard brought in is hurting Australia is redicolous to someone who understands economy. But then again you wouldn't, would you, you're just ignorant and dogmatic

[hsd628]

Johan no need trying to explain it to the plebs.

Debt = Bad, Surplus = Good, right?

Fucking morons, the lot of them. No wonder Politicians lie all the time - they know the majority of the people are DUMB enough to believe them, -every- single time.

[daimondai5]

It is great that Howard the Coward is gone. Rudd is better than him.

[missk888]

man..thats hot!

[liviktj]

he speaks better mandarin than me...(im a chinese btw)

[eminemxu27]

天不怕，地不怕，只怕老外说中国话 LOL!!

Now I'm staying OZ, hope oneday I can learn some Aussie Jokes.

[vemugu61]

@eminemxu27 Good on you mate! Welcome!

[AngelaThinksThat]

go Kevie Rudd!! :) :) :) !!!!

[grettonwatsonp]

Wow, that is really impressive and no, you're absolutely right George W struggled with English - what hope would he have in sputtering anything out in a foreign language unless you consider Texan foreign? Great effort KR.

[cftoon]

damn kwailo.....impressive mandarin.....ohh man I love this mate hahaha

[Hajimesama6]

Good old Kevin... I wish I were as fluent in a Chinese dialect... He's even making jokes! XD My Japanese isn't good enough to joke! Rofl.

[012234050]

Incredible!! Rudd can speak fluent Mandarin. I love him

[DylanLee123]

Nope, your statement shows that your general knowledge needs to be enhance. I'm a Mandarin-speaking Chinese and now I speak both english and mandirin.

[applepiebeyond]

Amazing

[ianmann64]

Ruddy is wrong. The worst thing that could happen to a Chinese is to hear a Cantonese speaking Mandarin.

[BubonicWoodchuck]

Oh come on, we don't all suck at it!

(...but I laughed anyway.)

[mubd1234]

LAUGH OR DIE!

DIDI MAO!

[Eiensakura]

Jayeradasich, did Pauline Hanson gave your a lil brainwashing?

[kevkevinkev]

They certainly were laurghing! : )

[jayeradasich]

don't be too hard on rudd he's only a public servant with no fucking idea abouy anyfucking thing trying to do the pm job the poor little fuck

[jcroldan89]

[mooneepondskid]

"RUDDS A DUDD "...I'll take him over scumbag Howard any day..lol

[1girlx]

KEVIN '11  !!!!!!!!

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Kevin 747!

[Brightstar27]

And the election was a RUDDSLIDE!!!

[salerno716]

last for you, don't be jealous and don't be mad at the fact China is stronger and stronger. look up some comments from US towards you country.

and then try to accept it. it's the truth

[salerno716]

Chinese leader cannot speak English? pls google cnn interview.

whether or no, China is a powerful country, we chinese do not care whether you like or not. In contrast, your history seems have nothing to show off, even the bad aspect. we can fight with UN troops in korean war, japs, definitely US and Russians. And now we also could communicate with them. while there is no place or chance to let you on such a the stage. you follow western world but be forgetted, which must be shame and painful

[salerno716]

Speaking Chinese for Kevin, proves that he is smart to master the most difficult language in the world. And as a chinese, i must point out his joke is pretty appropriate and decent for your country and China. you white people should be aware of some democray or human right even politics more then chinese, at least seemingly, pls remember politics is politics, even you insult or humiliate your leader and Chinese, your life could be even better?

[Crapidiot]

i agree

ppls have the right (in 'democratic' countries like a lot of western countries) to choose what they speak or say or do. of course there will be various opinions about it, inferior complexes about it. but dont mix politics with my country's culture and language and achievements. u are already bashing certain aspects of my country even before i myself have any negative opinion on it and i find it strange.

[aussiepride807]

some people are hating on rudd because he speaks Chinese, so its unacceptable that our prime minister is smart enough to speak fluent manderin ???, some people are suggesting (not really on this video but others about kevin rudd) that because he speaks manderin there is some kind of plan for the chinese to colonise Australia, it seems to me your just gealous that your not smart enough to learn another language or that you some how think strong relationships between countries is a bad thing.

[420partyatmine]

@aussiepride807 he has done more to separate Australia from China than bring us together. Speaking Manderin is fine, but Howard did more to bring the Asian and Australian communities together

[banksy35]

@aussiepride807 Funny enough, even though the Chinese could communicate with Rudd, my research showed that many Chinese politicians preferred Howard as they were confused by Rudd. A lot of Australians were also confused by Rudd. For such a smart person, some of his communication and choice of words was bizarre. So even though he could speak the same language he was still confusing. Although, credit to Rudd for speaking Mandarin, I hope I can speak it that well one day.

[wjwQkfk]

f**k I'm not Chinese but he seems real decent in Chinese when he cracks a joke with the Chiense saying. I guess superb effort has been put in to learn Chiense by Kevin.

[bigfatdick5000]

haha his joke was funny.

[kevinherbert]

A typical Collingwood fan...hides behind a fake name to insult our new PM....a real dumb coward & jerk...just like a lot of Collingwood supporters....all show, no go

[kevinherbert]

You're a killer Kev...I'm proud to have you as my Prime Minister...so far

[pineappleboy1]

killer alright...

[kaplonkmoo]

hahaha funny guy

[fakeplasticjack]

this is cool

kevin rudd is better than john howard.

[ruddsadudd]

Rudd is the best PM you have ever had and ever will have you liberal dong beaters

[franz0705]

im pretty sure that everyone noticed he could speak quite fluent chinese during APEC in 2007... =]

[pineappleboy1]

So what about kevin rudd - hes an idiot who looks like tin tin..

Barack Obama is a shining light in this world..my fellow democrats in America will support him and get him elected to the White house.

Barack Obama - the world's future king!

[bigfatdick5000]

"Your fellow democrats in US?" I am Chinese-American, I voted for Obama already. This video is about the Aus PM Kevin Rudd, not Obama, for being able to master the Chinese language at such a proficiency level. People should give him respects just for that. Lets see any western leaders isn't so superficial and bother to learn and speak the Chinese language at his level.

[pineappleboy1]

So any western leader who doesnt speak chinese fluent is superficial? LOL

So does that mean they should all speak Russian, French, German, Hindi and Spanish as well?

Speaking of superficial - when was the last time a Chinese leader delivered a speech in English?

[bigfatdick5000]

"Speaking of superficial - when was the last time a Chinese leader delivered a speech in English? "

Uhhhh...many many times in the past? In Beijing, usually the Vice President do it, even the previous president have done it once, formal speeches in English.

So when was the last time *Any* western leaders delivered speeches in "Mandarin Proper" at such proficiency level. There is one time: and his name is "Kevin Rudd".

Your answer is always a waste of everyone's time. Including this one.

[pineappleboy1]

so does that mean that when they go to france their speeches should be delivered in french?

btw are you able to provide proof that Chinese leaders have delivered speeches in english "many many times in the past"?

[SirthatfellonmyHEAD]

Watch the news? No, it's not necessary, but it's a very useful skill to have. Do you have any idea how many people speak Mandarin?

And yes, actually, that would be nice. It's good manners to try and learn a language when you're a guest in someone's country.

Where the hell are you from anyway, boy?

[Crapidiot]

ppineappleboy1 uh

jiang ze min? heard of him?

hu jing tao doesnt have to speak english. hes the leader in china and he speaks mandarin. if he goes overseas he doesnt have to speak english it's his choice. kevin rudd chose to study mandarin and thats his choice. if u dont like it blame on him not my country? pls dont insult other ppls culture. its very rude.

also there is nothing wrong with knowing more than 1 language. it doesnt mean i like it. it could be to understand others more.

[DaTiaoZhan]

天不怕，地不怕，只怕Kevin Rudd说普通话

[kaili9]

哈哈哈

[notochrasy]

lol that was funny. silly silly rudd.

[baligeko]

What really surprises me is the TIMING.

Oz elects a prime minister who can speak Mandarin when:

- trade with China is at all time max

- Oz voices concerns about Tibet

- year of Chinese Olympic games

- 20080808 important Chinese date

Makes you think about Kizmet.

[NotOrganic]

That was hardly his single selling point.

It also surprises me that it would surprise you.

[RustedBlues77]

And there I thought I had rudd all figured out lol, man I don't know shit about my own prime minister - ya learn somethin new everyday, did any other aussie's out there know he could speak madarin fluent or is it just me lol

[inialny]

Rusted don't be frustated. U don't know much about your PM because U R fully (fooly) immersed in Blues (Dreamtime)

:)

[RustedBlues77]

Suprised is more or less what I was.

[inialny]

Bush and Kaczynski should learn (not only languages)from Kevin Rudd !!

[vohtt]

haha

[rexberry]

wow
