World Leader

The Resume

    (September 21, 1957- )
    Born in Nambour, Queensland, Australia
    Prime Minister of Australia
    Member of the Australian Labour Party
    Succeed John Howard November 24, 2007
    Campaign slogan: Kevin 07

Why he might be annoying:

    During his first year as Prime Minister, he made over 22 trips overseas, costing taxpayers over 700,820 in airfares and chauffeur-driven cars, giving him the nickname 'Kevin 747.'
    He spent (in total) over 2 months outside of Australia while traveling during his first year.
    In his campaign, he vowed to take action against climate change, but in December of 2008, he announced a carbon pollution reduction scheme with a target of just 5%-15% by 2020.
    He promised secondary schools student laptops and to improve Australia’s Internet coverage, neither of which he did in his first year.
    His cabinet party includes former controversial Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett.
    He constantly blamed the previous government for problems his government is struggling to fix.
    Like John Howard, he is against gay marriage.
    His Chinese name is Lù Kèwén.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He supports Australia being a republic.
    He had Australia sign the Kyoto Protocol.
    He speaks Mandarin.
    His popularity increased and he was commended by Barack Obama for his handling of the Global Financial Crisis.
    He broke down in tears on live TV after seeing the devastation of the 2009 Victorian bushfires.
    He issued an apology to Aboriginal people for the ‘Stolen Generation’, something the previous government continually refused to do.
