2. If I had a plane and the ability to loop-the-loop, there is one particular message I would like to write in the sky.

It would be addressed to Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard and would say: ENOUGH.

As in: you both had your turn, now please, please, take your accusatory anecdotes and bad blood and put them in the Shush House with a dynamite-proof bolt on the door.

A new ABC documentary, The Killing Season, airs next week. Over three episodes, it takes us through “the forces that shaped Labor” during the Rudd and Gillard years.

Along with contributions from retro figures like Greg Combet and Simon Crean, it features Rudd, with a tight smile recalling how he thought Julia was his “loyal deputy”. And Gillard talking about Rudd being physically intimidating towards her in 2007, after a parliamentary tactics meeting didn’t go his way (which he then furiously denies).

Rudd also speaks of the “the coup” against him, and Gillard of how the decision-making process suffered under his leadership.

The Killing Season is extremely slick and well produced and is presented with all the skill you would expect from journalist Sarah Ferguson. But there is something about it that makes you want to scream obscenities about rodents shagging while thumping a desk.
