{"product_id":"9781921640575-secondhand-rudds-way-november-2007-june-2010","title":"Rudd's Way: November 2007 - June 2010","description":"Based on an extensive series of detailed and off-the-record  interviews, Nicholas Stuart   -     Kevin Rudd's biographer and the author of  an acclaimed study into the 2007 election   -     provides a critical  examination of Labor in office and of the key events and crucial moments  leading to Rudd's downfall.   Rudd's Way presents the first in-depth analysis of the way  that Kevin Rudd's government worked and why Labor eventually decided its  leader had to be removed. Stuart argues that, more than under any  previous government, the policies and direction of Australia over the  period from November 2007 to June 2010 were set by just one man   -     Prime  Minister Kevin Rudd   -     until he finally overreached himself and  threatened to lead the party to electoral oblivion.   The background events and policy blunders that led to Rudd's fall are  described here in gripping detail, until we come to the final  cataclysmic moment when the prime minister realised he'd been abandoned  by the very team he'd led to government. It is the tragic story of a man  who swam out of his depth; who wanted to achieve much, but was  eventually unable to take action on climate change   -     the one thing he  wanted to do more than anything else.   This is a book that no voter who wants to understand the challenges  of the future can afford to be without.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48777229730011,"sku":"9781921640575-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5a879309-af54-482f-ac77-7b93856a9d60.jpg?v=1778863128","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781921640575-secondhand-rudds-way-november-2007-june-2010","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
