Even though I don't agree with many of the fellow youtuber's comments that Rudd is an idiot, I still get great satisfaction seeing our democracy at work: a TRUE democracy - knowing that we can bag the absolute crap out of our leaders and get away with it.... whereas if any chinese citizens said anything bad about China... well, they'd prolly need to hide somewhere lol.

My opinion: Keep it up Kevin. You're doing great. 10 points.

You SHUT your mouth and don't speak about our leader like that you your fool, your only 18 and have just been able to vote, He is your leader and you will repect him as such. For him to work on our relationships with a large country then that and to speak on such issues. Rudd has bigger ball then you ever will

As if the president of one of the largest countries in the world would listen to the PM of a nation like Australia ... learn your place Rudd

True - Qld Govt has sold out our land rights to 'Brigalow Corporation'.

as if the communist dictators in control of China are going to give a damn what Rudd says...what a joke...who does he think he's impressing...drop the "look-at-me-i-wanna-be-a-state­sman" attitude and fix the problems we have in Australia first...Stop all this jetting around at taxpayers' expense. Be responsible, solve the nations economic issuesfirst and then,if you must, go and travel- at your own expense !

Yeh, agreed. Rudd is an idiot.

Australian Politicians are weak as anything, at least John Howard made us a debt free economy.

Rudd has spent all our surplus and he is a bitch to the Reserve bank of Australia.

We don't even own our own Land.

[skk678]

you are not only disgracing yourself but also your own nationality by commenting on your nation's leader in such a way. u call him a dog? back it up.

Mr Rudd, fix your back yard before you try and solve other peoples problems. You should be concern about Australians first ie. home affordability, fuel prices and taxes on fuel. You force people to live further from CBD and force them to drive further it's getting do a point where we will not be able to afford to drive to work, see how your economy handles that , Mr Rudd you are a worthless dog and you know it.
