Favorite Kevin Rudd Quotes

1. "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
2. "Australia is a nation of compassion. Courage and compassion. And the third of these great values: resilience." ~ Kevin Rudd
3. "Building a new Health and Hospitals Network is fundamental to building a stronger and fairer Australia." ~ Kevin Rudd
4. "Australians are a passionate lot. We are also a very practical lot." ~ Kevin Rudd
5. "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." ~ Kevin Rudd
6. "If Australia wants an effective United Nations, we have to be comprehensively, not marginally, engaged." ~ Kevin Rudd
7. "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." ~ Kevin Rudd
8. "It is a high honour to be elected Prime Minister of Australia." ~ Kevin Rudd
9. "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
10. "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
11. "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
12. "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." ~ Kevin Rudd
13. "There are many who criticise the United Nations. And those of us who know this institution well know that it is not immune from criticism. But those who argue against the United Nations advance no credible argument as to what should replace it. Whatever its imperfections, the United Nations represents a necessary democracy of states." ~ Kevin Rudd
14. "A core challenge for Australia is - how do we best prepare ourselves for the Asia Pacific century - to maximise the opportunities, to minimise the threats and to make our own active contribution to making this Asia-Pacific Century peaceful, prosperous and sustainable for us all." ~ Kevin Rudd
15. "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." ~ Kevin Rudd
16. "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
17. "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." ~ Kevin Rudd
