Dear Mr Rudd,

My question - As someone who has made it to the top job (amoung many other great achievements), what do you believe is the most important regular habit you have taken part in, that has contributed to your success?

Also, as an added side (and as a personal fan boy), I'd like to say:

I hope that you are aware, that despite the misinformation, deceit and slander you have endured throughout your illustrious career, there are those of us who will forever be inspired by your values, your spirit and your incredible contribution to making this country the best it possibly could be. I know it may not mean much, but I have been, and will continue to argue for what you were really about and what you truly stood for. As far as I'm concerned, you were the Prime Minister this country needed, but not the one it deserved. I am certain the history books will cast you in a much greater light than the media has.

I'd also like to bring to your attention, for all the horrendously deceitful headlines by Murdoch through out your final term, the Top Post on r/Australia on the day that Abbott was sworn in as PM was this.

Dear Senator Ludlam,

What's your opinion on the declining level of political debate in Australia?

With the exception of a few individuals (yourself included), political discourse in this nation seems to have degraded into a cesspool of misinformation and personal attacks with very little attention given to long term policy driven vision.

Without singling out any politicians or their parties, what do you believe are the factors that have caused our politicians to succumb to such ill-given discourse in our country?

Given your experiences as a senator, what do you believe needs to change in the over-arching political system that governs the activities of our politicians to restore political discourse to a level that will ensure robust, meaningful and informative debate?

What is your position on media regulation?

What is your position on the influence of money in politics, particularly with regards to Australia's multi-billion dollar Public Relations Industry?

What (if any) are your concerns regarding the host of cyber security legislation that has been introduced to Australia recently? What is your honest opinion on how government will use the powers afforded by such legislation now and several years into the future?
