In excess of 500,000 Australians have marked the request to parliament since it dispatched three weeks back.
News Corp Australia controls 70% of nearby paper dissemination. Mr Murdoch has not remarked on the request.
The request will probably be introduced to parliament, however it isn't committed to follow up on it.
Mr Rudd, a Labor leader from 2007-2010 and again in 2013, has been a continuous pundit of Mr Murdoch and his papers, which upheld against his re-appointment.
He lauded the degree of public reaction on Wednesday, saying he was "appreciative and overpowered".
"A large portion of 1,000,000 Australians have spoken. They've crushed the records to make their voice heard: Australia needs a #MurdochRoyalCommission to secure the soul of our majority rule government," he tweeted.
Like Mr Murdoch, News Corp has not reacted to the public request of and have overlooked it in their news inclusion.
