Kevin Michael Rudd is an Australian former Labor politician who was twice Prime Minister of Australia, from 2007 to 2010 and again in 2013.
Having previously served as a diplomat, and then as an official for the Queensland Government, Rudd was initially elected to the House of Representatives for Griffith in 1998. He was promoted to the Shadow Cabinet in 2001 as Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs. In December 2006, he successfully challenged Kim Beazley to become the Leader of the Labor Party, subsequently becoming the Leader of the Opposition.
Under Rudd, Labor overtook the incumbent Liberal/National Coalition led by John Howard in the polls, making a number of policy announcements on areas such as industrial relations, health, climate change, education (e.g. "Digital Education Revolution"), and the National Broadband Network.
In this talk at the Oxford Union, Rudd talks about the shift in global power from the west to the east, diplomacy with North Korea, and why Donald Trump is so dangerous for not just the United States, but for political stability worldwide.
