My name is Kevin Rudd

I’m a Christian Socialist but I reject socialism.

I’m a man of integrity, but I didn’t mind meeting with a convicted criminal (Brian Burke) on 3 occasions in order to garner support for my leadership challenge—and then lie about it.

I’m pro-family but I voted against the Marriage Amendment Act

I’m against abortion but I voted to enable RU486 to be legalised.

I despise candidates who say: “Vote for me! I’m a Christian.” Instead, people should vote for me because I’m a Christian.

I’m pro-family so I want dads to stay home unemployed, instead of getting a job.

I’m against free markets, but my family made millions using them.

I’m a friend of small businesses, but I reject the flexibilities they have been given by the WorkChoices legislation.

I don’t mind illegal immigrants coming here and living on welfare, but I object to legal foreign workers coming here to do the jobs that Australians refuse to do.

I support government investment in essential infrastructure, but I canned the Wolfdene Dam project when I was chief-of-staff for the Queensland government.

I believe we must go to great lengths to drastically reduce our CO₂ emissions, but I strongly support our coal industry.

I object to ‘fear campaigns’ but I think Australians should be terrified by the government’s WorkChoices legislation and the impending doom being brought on by climate change.

I'm committed to the US alliance but I won’t support them in Iraq.

I think the Prime Minister was wrong to endanger the US alliance by attacking Barack Obama and the Democrats, but I didn’t mind when Mark Latham attacked George W. Bush and the Republicans.

I think the Iraqis need to take over responsibility for their own security, but I won’t given them any support to help them do it—not even 70 soldiers.

I want all our troops home from Iraq, but I still plan to leave 900 there.

I’m a God-botherer because every time I speak, God gets really bothered!
