When Gillard knifed Rudd in '10, the ALP was just ahead of the Coalition in the opinion polls (two party preferred). The thing is that there was no great turnaround when they got to election, it was basically where it had been at the point when Rudd was toppled. What we've seen this time around is a swing back to the ALP now that Rudd's taken over - but I think people are smarter than this. By the time they get to the polls, they'll have realized that the leader makes no difference; or they'll have remembered why Rudd was overturned in the first place.
Furthermore, Rudd has been consistently undermining Gillard since 2010.
I repeat what I said before, I find it disgraceful that caucus members ("faceless men") would vote out their own prime ministers like this. They're spineless, nobody knows what they really believe in or what they really stand for anymore, and dysfunction, chaos and factionalism is overrunning their political party. And then, we have the Green's leader Christine Milne come out and attack the government on their instability and credibility; yet she's supposed to be a partner with the ALP in government! Why can't the leader of the ALP - now Rudd - come out and make the same clear, bold and aggressive statements against the Greens? Why are they so afraid of them??

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
