Dangerous little man with a head the absolute correct shape for the UN Job. Such a master of language, politics and temper. i can see his fat little face swelling up and going red at a UN staffer for not dishing up cucumber sandwiches.

UN is another organisation designed to tell people what to do in their own country.
Committee of do gooders who have no idea more often than not.

As long as the Australian taxpayer doesn't have to pay for him, give him the job. At least he will away from here and causing chaos elsewhere!

What a mess he will make of that job. Why don't the UN look at the mess he left in Australia. If they did they would definitely NOT hire him.

The man's ego is limitless!

Nominate him who knows perhaps he will finally bring this useless organization down.

They have to be kidding, why don't they nominate him for president of China he'd love that.

They will be sorry they ever elected this lily livered wimp.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has confirmed former prime minister Kevin Rudd has asked the federal Government to nominate him for the United Nations Secretary-General election.

It brings to an end months of speculation over Mr Rudd's bid for the role, currently held by Ban Ki-Moon.

Mr Ban's successor will take office on January 1, 2017. Ms Bishop said it would be a matter for the cabinet.

"Kevin Rudd has requested that the Australian Government nominate him and, as the Prime Minister has indicated on a number of occasions, that'll be a matter for cabinet," she told Sky News.

"I'll certainly put the matter forward."

Previously, South Australian Liberal senator Cory Bernardi had urged Ms Bishop not to endorse a "dysfunctional", "vengeful", "unstable", "megalomaniac" like Mr Rudd.

Senator Bernardi told the ABC in February that "he Australian public would be very disappointed if we endorsed such a person for this significant role".

If nominated, Mr Rudd will face former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark, who announced her candidacy earlier this year.

What about Kruddy's disastrous performance here in Australia ?

If Kruddy misses out on the UN job will the Labor Party invite him back to replace hopeless Shorty ?

Former Premier calls Rudd a "psychopathic narcissist"
Nadia11 minutes ago 1.15PM AEST:

Meanwhile, former NSW Premier Kristina Keneally has labelled Kevin Rudd a "psychopathic narcissist".

Ms Keneally, who is now works for Sky News, was asked by colleague Peter van Onselen whether she believed Mr Rudd should be given the role of United Nations Secretary-General.

Ms Keneally said she was prepared to say what no other remember of the Labor Party could that Mr Rudd was a "psychopathic narcissist".

She said it was an important position that should go to someone who was "better qualified".

The pair also questioned whether Mr Rudd was capable of empathy. 

"I can think of 12 Australians off the top of my head that would be a better Secretary-General and one of them is my Labrador," Ms Keneally said.

"She has a lot more empathy than Kevin Rudd".
