Kevin Rudd Quotes

John Howard has gone a bridge too far by not going far enough Picture Quote #1

To be a member of the Labor Party is to be an optimist - optimistic about the future of Australia, optimistic about the ability of government to make a difference Picture Quote #1

I’ve been around long enough to not take seriously statements like I am about to be crushed. I’m about how do we seek re-election of the Australian government, how we prevent Tony Abbott from being elected. The bottom line is that it should be all hands to the pump rather than saying other, frankly negative and internally divisive things Picture Quote #1

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great sadness that I announce that I will resign as Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs. I am sad because I love this job. I’m totally dedicated to the work that we are doing in Australia’s name around the world, and I believe that we have achieved many good results for Australia, and I’m proud of them Picture Quote #1

Of course I base all my election promises and policies on opinion polls Picture Quote #1

2009 was a tough year, but Australia rose to the challenge of the global financial crisis. It shows what can be done when we all join together and work together, governments of all persuasions state, territory and local; businesses large and small; unions and local communities right across the nation Picture Quote #1

But Australia faces additional regional and global challenges also crucial to our nation’s future - climate change, questions of energy and food security, the rise of China and the rise of India. And we need a strong system of global and regional relationships and institutions to underpin stability Picture Quote #1

I am determined to honour the confidence which has been extended to us by the people of our great land. And I say to all of those who have voted for us today, I say to each and every one of them that I will be a prime minister for all Australians Picture Quote #1

I was elected by the people of Australia as Prime Minister of Australia. I was elected to do a job, I intend to continue doing that job. I intend to continue doing it to the absolute best of my ability. Part of that job has been to steer this country through the worst economic crisis the world has seen in 75 years Picture Quote #1

We are so fortunate, as Australians, to have among us the oldest continuing cultures in human history. Cultures that link our nation with deepest antiquity. We have Aboriginal rock art in the Kimberley that is as ancient as the great Palaeolithic cave paintings at Altamira and Lascaux in Europe Picture Quote #1

Something my mum taught me years and years and years ago, is life’s just too short to carry around a great bucket-load of anger and resentment and bitterness and hatreds and all that sort of stuff Picture Quote #1

On Australia Day 2010, as we enter this second decade of the 21st century, Australians can be optimistic about our future, but we cannot afford to mistake optimism for complacency Picture Quote #1

I’m out there arguing the Labor case. I will do it anywhere and everywhere that I can. I do it within various communities across Australia where I am able to make a positive contribution. And let me tell you, my voice won’t be silenced in the public debate because the issue at stake for Australia are so stark Picture Quote #1

Having a go at kids with a terminal illness is really beyond the pale, absolutely beyond the pale Picture Quote #1

I was elected by the Australian people to bring back a fair go for all Australians. I have given my absolute best to do that Picture Quote #1

A continuing narrative throughout Australia’s history that says it is better to build up than to tear down - this is the continuing mission of Labor Picture Quote #1

Building a new Health and Hospitals Network is fundamental to building a stronger and fairer Australia Picture Quote #1

We apologise for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians. We apologise especially for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, their communities and their country Picture Quote #1

There comes a time in the history of nations when their peoples must become fully reconciled to their past if they are to go forward with confidence to embrace their future Picture Quote #1

The stability of global financial markets is a public good. If governments fail to protect this public good, then those who suffer are the working people of the world whose jobs, whose homes, and whose standard of living depends on it Picture Quote #1

What we have seen in financial markets should bring home to us all that the central organising principle of this 21st century is interdependence. For the century just past, interdependence may have been one option among many. For the century that is to come, there is no longer an alternative Picture Quote #1

Because the time has come, well and truly come, for all peoples of our great country, for all citizens of our great commonwealth, for all Australians - those who are indigenous and those who are not - to come together to reconcile and together build a new future for our nation Picture Quote #1

Compassion is not a dirty word.. it’s time we rehabilitated compassion into the national political vocabulary of this great nation of ours Picture Quote #1

If the states and territories do not sign up to fundamental reform, then my message is equally simple: we will take this reform plan to the people at the next election - along with a referendum by or at that same election to give the Australian Government all the power it needs to reform the health system Picture Quote #1

I conclude where I began, I was elected by the people of Australia to do a job. I was not elected by the factional leaders of Australia, of the Australian Labor Party to do a job - though they may be seeking to do a job on me, that’s a separate matter. The challenge therefore is to honour the mandate given to me by the Australian people Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing like having a bit of somebody else in you Picture Quote #1

Australians are a passionate lot. We are also a very practical lot Picture Quote #1

Would you like to work at home and earn $150 per hour with data entry? Picture Quote #1

We have seen this complete right wing takeover of modern liberalism, and it is an ugly spectacle to behold Picture Quote #1

Labor’s message then is this: we believe in a strong economy; we believe also in a fair go for all, not just for some Picture Quote #1
