Deconstructing Propaganda with Kevin Rudd

Sky News made an entire hour long doco about Kevin Rudd. I watched it with him. It was funnier than anything I've ever made. Here are our reactions.

[@mortarriding3913]

Kevin Rudd came from the same political party, whose left wing leader made the decision that Australia would be the first Western country to allow Chileans fleeing Pinochet to come here and become refugees. I met some of those refugees while I was growing up, and they have made a positive contribution to the trade union movement here as citizens. We might be a long way away, but we share some history, and perhaps also geography.

All I could do was sputter out "it's great, you've got my vote". He looked pretty chuffed with that and at that point I realised he was a pretty decent bloke.

17 years ago I served Kim Beazley at the bookstore where I was working at the time. He bought a book about tanks using a $100 bill and another customer started a conversation with him about tanks which lasted over half an hour. All they discussed the whole time was tanks. Kim Beazley didn't even look or talk to me. Even when he handed me the money. And that is my Kim Beazley story.

Ok so this 100% explains what happened at my school. All girls Catholic high school, his daughter was the year below me, would of been Year 10-11, back in late 2000s. So we went to Challenge Stadium for the swimming carnival and he's just sat there, alone, in a huge stadium full of young (obvs half-dressed) girls, just sitting there, no wife, barely interacted with his daughter. Looked like no mans land, he was just staring off into the abyss ("what could of been..." I told my friends). It was just so odd to see a formally-dressed ex-leader of the opposition sitting alone at an all girls swimming carnival. Maybe he even had been nibbling on some sweets, I don't remember exactly. I'm reassured to learn this wasn't vaguely creepy behaviour, just being incredibly socially awkward. EDIT: and there were no other parents, he was the only one!
