And you have never lost your temper when other's have let you down?

Give the guy a break - he wanted to do a good job
& other people were stuffing him up.

Sure, but not that many times consecutively and I sure as hell wasn't stupid enough to do it on camera!

Yes but he was betrayed by the cameraman.
That scene should have been edited out & deleted forever.


Name one person in the world who hasn't lost his temper?

Even Jesus turned the tables over in the temple.

Get a life & stop concentrating on the negative.

He swears and blames dickheads in the embassy, he sounds like middle management blaming floor workers for poor productivity, is Rudd a Liberal underneath? 

Its a great vid, it shows he is human, unlike the bullshyte crocodile tears.

Keep them coming.

Nonsense. He's been on camera more than enough times to know that when the red light is on, the camera is "hot". He knew what he was doing. He just didn't expect the tape to be leaked. What a fool!

Wow - yet another desperation thread.    How long ago was this filmed?   Cue ear wax eating, scores and hairdryer next.   Smell the Fear!!!!!!! :D :D

I'd rather a swearer than a puncher any day.

Keep it up armpit


you seem to be under some sort of impression that this is bad for Rudd ....

I think these sorts of episodes actually make him seem more human. The more you show these sorts of things, the more the average Australian will relate to him. Just watch the polls in Western Sydney turn around ......

Abbott is headed down in the polls.


Abbott is on the ropes.

You'd rather someone shown on crystal clear video to be swearing like a sailor than someone who is accused of punching a wall in an incident that supposedly happened when he was a University student in his early 20's and for which no proof has been forthcoming and for which none of the complainants has agreed to sign a stat dec? Who da fool? You da fool!!! :D :D :D

there may be no absolute proof 25 yrs later, but the way I see it, there are so many people saying the same thing that I don't think many people DON'T believe it

No I don't .... you were asking who I would rather have , then said there is no proof ... I don't need to prove it, if I believe it to be true, which many people do, I won't vote for him.

Never. I don't blame other people, I get in and fix the problem. So absolutely not and I fully expect the PM and any other leader of commerce or public office to act in good grace in all circumstances. Complete disgrace.

This display personifies the complete lack of class this lot of labor drop kicks have brought to the esteemed corridors of government.

Rudd has the diplomacy skills of a sledgehammer.

You are wrong, Mr Chair, but humour us and produce the 'full conversation' you are referring to, or take the option of shutting up.

Yes - apparently the long period of nodding was shortened for TV.

So it was worse than they showed. :)

Looks like he has Diplomatic Dementia

Imagine him doing this in front of the American Press or the World Press! Nup, this guy doesn't have PM quality that's for sure.

Another wanna be...................embarrassment to the country written all over it.

I like the 'sh*t happens' when an australian soldier was killed in Afghanistan.  So compassionate.  And Rudd swore on video?  Wow.
