In my opinion four things.
1) People wanting to believe that he has changed and want to give him a chance.
2) People who hated Gillard/Rudd but hate Abbott more.
3) People who are not rational about/not interested in politics who are looking for any excuse to vote Labor.
4) People who vote based solely on their own interests which align with Labor.
Indeed, plus the fact that the current dismal state of the economy, debt and illegal immigrants flood is now perceived as associated to Julia, not him.
As long as Tony is the face of the coalition, justified or not, it will be very hard for them to win against Rudd.
I hope I am wrong...
Yes It's amazing none of the sisters, stood by her, would appear to show a certain amount of shallowness.
Didn't do the womens cause any good though.
I thought the article was shallow and devoid of intellect written by a bitter and twisted individual affected by moral decay who thinks...........well he doesn't think.

The above issues I would suggest will be seen as associated with Labor as a whole.Indeed, plus the fact that the current dismal state of the economy, debt and illegal immigrants flood is now perceived as associated to Julia, not him.

The article was written by Anne Summers, and she's one of yours. Your description of her is spot on though.

The real question is the extent to which Kevin Rudd himself has changed.
I too was left with the impression that the ABC had felt that their messiah had risen. That being said, it was Kevin Rudd's day so it's not surprising he got all the attention.If any of the antics I witnessed on the ABC yesterday were any indication I would say Rudd will walk in with support of the Greens again. The ABC was doing handstands yesterday celebrating, dragging in any rovers dog to put a case forward that Rudd will win the election and why. They (the ABC) basically have Rudd in the top job for the next five years.
It's unfortunate but I think they will be correct, there is an old saying in retail " The general public are generally stupid". We have already seen a surge in the polls and with parliament over Rudd will be free to run around the country to more suburban shopping centers spreading his feel good vibe.
And guess who hangs around in those shopping centers ?
I wouldn't worry about any relief rally for Labor in the polls. That will quickly fade and the true test will be the extent to which the leaders of the major parties have grown over the past few years. Kevin Rudd will offer a different set of tests for Tony Abbott and that in itself is not a bad thing.

I don't think that would happen. It's Tony Abbott that has brought the Coalition to where it is. They're not so disposed to disloyalty as are the members of the ALP.There was a woman on the local radio station here the other day - one of those clairvoyant types - predicting that if Rudd ousted Gillard and got an immediate surge of support for Labor, the LNP would respond by ousting Abbot and replacing him with Turnbull.
I doubt if she's right, but we'll find out soon enough.

Agree. My worry is that Rudd will go to a much earlier election, before the honeymoon gloss has worn off.I too was left with the impression that the ABC had felt that their messiah had risen. That being said, it was Kevin Rudd's day so it's not surprising he got all the attention.

Tony Abbott though has had to grow with the discipline of being opposition leader over that time whereas Kevin Rudd's discipline growth has been limited to plotting his political comeback. The results I suspect with time will speak for themselves.

Indeed, one wonders how much influence Barry Cassidy had behind the scenes in helping stir the coup along? I always got the impression the ABC would do absolutely anything to try and save themselves and their cushy taxpayer funded jobs from almost certainly an Abbott Govt inquisition into the ABC.
If Abbott wins, expect to see blood on the ABC cutting room floor....
Mark Scott, CEO of the ABC needs to go. He still denies there is any bias in any area of the ABC.
If the head of the organisation has a more objective approach, the journalists won't get away with the sort of "Hallelujah, it's Rudd come to save us" rubbish they are presently enjoying.

What it means for us ordinary Australians that Julia Gillard was hounded from office in the way she was. We are now, apparently unashamedly, a country where bullying, stalking, undermining and outright treachery are not just tolerated but the new way of doing business.
AFTER being ousted from the top job just three years after she claimed it, Julia Gillard will leave office with a $200,000 pension and a private driver for life.
But at just 51 years old, retirement is hardly looming for the former prime minister.
She will have an office, staff, car and free travel for the rest of her life, but rather than becoming the "the most meddlesome great-aunt in Australian history" or investing more time in her knitting, there are plenty of options on the table for Australia's first female PM.
So why didn't Summers write this 3 years ago? Just substitute "Kevin Rudd" for "Julia Gillard". I assume that all her readers can see through the bias.
