Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says ‘it gets better’

Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd is the latest public figure to lend his voice to global anti-homophobia campaign It Gets Better.

In the video Rudd said Australia has a zero tolerance to bullying.

“This message is for the young folk in our schools who are bullied because they are gay.”

“In Australia it’s reported that one in two LGBTI teens experiences bullying at school. It’s got to stop.

“Let me say quite simply, it’s not okay.”

Rudd joins US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and a host of community leaders and celebrities lending support to the anti-homophobia campaign.
