Rudd's Way: November 2007-June 2010

Based on an extensive series of detailed and off-the-record interviews, this first in-depth analysis provides a critical examination of Australia’s Labor Party in office and of the key events and crucial moments leading to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s downfall. Arguing that, more than under any previous government, the policies and direction of Australia from November 2007 to June 2010 were set by just one individual—Rudd—this record describes in gripping detail the background events and policy blunders that led to his demise. This biography presents the tragic story of a man who wanted to achieve much but was eventually unable to take action on the issue he valued most: climate change.
