More quotes by Kevin Rudd
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.
Kevin Rudd
It is a high honour to be elected Prime Minister of Australia.
Kevin Rudd
As nations we should also commit afresh to righting past wrongs. In Australia we began this recently with the first Australians - the oldest continuing culture in human history. On behalf of the Australian Parliament, this year I offered an apology to indigenous Australians for the wrongs they had suffered in the past.
Kevin Rudd
It is unlikely that you'll have anything emerge from MEF (Major Economies Forum) by way of detailed programmatic specificity.
Kevin Rudd
Having a go at kids with a terminal illness is really beyond the pale, absolutely beyond the pale.
Kevin Rudd
If Australia wants an effective United Nations, we have to be comprehensively, not marginally, engaged.

Kevin Rudd
Of course I base all my election promises and policies on opinion polls
Kevin Rudd
The Apology opened the opportunity for a new relationship based on mutual respect and mutual responsibility between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia. Because without mutual respect and mutual responsibility, the truth is we can achieve very little.
Kevin Rudd
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.
Kevin Rudd
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.
Kevin Rudd
For Australians, climate change is no longer a distant threat. Our rivers are dying, bush fires are more ferocious and more frequent and our natural wonders - the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu, our rainforests - are now at risk.
Kevin Rudd
My name is Kevin, I'm from Queensland, and I'm here to help.
Kevin Rudd
We have a prime minister, I'm the foreign minister, I'm trying to get on with the job of doing Australia's foreign policy.
Kevin Rudd
By 2050, the Australian population is expected to grow from 22 million to 36 million. That increase alone will put huge pressure on our towns and our cities. We will need more homes, more roads, more rail lines, more hospitals, more schools, just to accommodate so many Australians.
Kevin Rudd
I am deeply committed to the cause of Indigenous Australians, and not just because of the Apology, but the big challenges which lie ahead in closing the gap.
Kevin Rudd
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.
Kevin Rudd
Building a new Health and Hospitals Network is fundamental to building a stronger and fairer Australia.
Kevin Rudd
Education is both a tool of social justice as well as a fundamental driver of economic development.
Kevin Rudd
As you know, the Australian Labour Party is committed to turning the country into a republic. We've not stipulated a timeline for doing that. We are sensitive to the other priorities we've got as a nation and in the world, but in time the country will head in that direction.
