When will Labour learn to maintain party discipline, be a good government and grow in strength. Unfortunately, Labour has a history of disunity since it lost power to the Liberals, long before Kevin Rudd became PM. Labour has been and is still seen as a bunch of scatterbugs held together by factional leaders akin to mafia chiefs.
Yes, Julia Gillard may have done the incorrect thing to stage a coup to remove Rudd whose popularity was waning and was a poor team player. However, Labour might not have lost the elections. That's a hypothesis and no one really know what would have happened with so many "if"s.
However, since Gillard has been holding steady and trying to implement despite disruptions from the sadistic and destructive Tony Abbott and backstabbing vengeance from Rudd. Every politician has some skeletons in the closet. The difference is a matter of degree.
Aussies are generally averse to strong leadership but good government does need time to build up. For the benefit of the nation, please stop the bickering.
