Australia refuses to nominate former PM Rudd for top U.N. job

Not a fan of Turnbull but felt it was the right decision: never back a loose cannon like Rudd, even/ especially if he represents your country. Very well said Mr Turnbull.

Well sorry to Differ Rudd is the better man for the Job he Kept Australia working when the world went into recession only the blind cannot see that.

NorthernlifeJUL. 29, 2016 - 07:11PM JST Good that Rudd didn't get the job he has a habit of losing it who needs someone like that representing Australia..@Ron Barnes look at the debt that the Labor government left behind look what they sold...get real mate

Really ??? Really ??? Turnbulls party (the libs) are the worst government in the history of Australia. If you talk about selling things, they sold off most of the country.....

Rudd is the right choice but turnbull is playing dirty politics

Australian peoples have avoided international embarrassing by dropping Kevin Rudd from UN General Secretary race. A few days ago, Malcolm Turnbull said Kevin Rudd is qualified for UN General Secretary position. Actually Malcolm Turnbull was wanted support Kevin Rudd for UN General Secretary role because Kevin Rudd had phoned him and congratulated him when he robbed PM office from former elected PM Tony Abbott. However, conservatives Liberal MPs do not want to support Kevin Rudd for UN General Secretary. So Malcolm Turnbull has personally call Kevin Rudd and apologized it.
