"The International Peace Institute (IPI) is pleased to announce the Honorable Kevin Rudd has been elected unanimously by IPI’s board of directors as the board’s next chair, effective June 01, 2018", according to [1] 89.8.168.191 (talk) 15:18, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
The official portrait we have been using originates on the Parliament website here. If anybody thinks it might be sourced from some other body than Parliament please note where and why but it seems unlikely that another department would take an official portrait.

Someone should please remove the part claiming he is "fluent in mandarin". I've heard him speak chinese. He sucks. Not just bad, *awful*. Seriously, his chinese sounds exactly like you'd expect an australian to sound, TERRIBLE. 203.160.80.238 (talk) 11:33, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
Considering it's usual practice to have the lead image be from when the subject was most notable, shouldn't the lead image for this article be his Prime Ministerial portrait as opposed to the 2023 Ambassador one? RoadSmasher420 (talk) 00:55, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
