Australians came to the ABC's The Killing Season in their droves, their fascination with the Rudd-Gillard struggle as unfinished as the saga itself.
Rudd and Gillard dominate the drama as they strain to claim the narrative of Labor's years in power. The journey to screen for each of their interviews is telling in itself. Kevin Rudd gives his painful account of the period and recalled in vivid detail the events of losing the prime ministership. Julia Gillard is frank and unsparing of her colleagues.
More than a hundred people were interviewed for The Killing Season—ministers, backbenchers, staffers, party officials, pollsters and public servants—recording their vivid accounts of the public and private events that made the Rudd and Gillard governments and then brought them undone. It is a damning portrait of a party at war with itself: the personal rivalries and the bitter defeats that have come to define the Rudd-Gillard era.
"The making of The Killing Season matched the drama on screen and that's a story we wanted to tell. And now we have a place for the episodes of rich material we could have put into a 5-part series." — Sarah Ferguson

‘The last week of Parliament: in politics they call it the killing season.’
By Jennifer Cameron-Smith
I didn’t watch much of the ABC’s ‘The Killing Season’ on television. While I have great respect for Sarah Ferguson’s skill as a journalist, I have far less little faith in what either Mr Rudd or Ms Gillard would present as their respective version of the truth of the events that destroyed their governments. But when I became aware that a book was being published, a book with the uncut version of the series, then I knew I needed to read it. Especially as Australia is about to face another federal election, and there’s a possibility that Labor might be re-elected to power.
But back to Ms Gillard and Mr Rudd. As Sarah Ferguson writes:
‘I learnt listening to them you couldn’t determine who was telling the truth. You could only put them side by side and let the audience decide.’
My own impression (from both events at the time and from reading this book) is that both Ms Gillard and Mr Rudd have developed an individual ‘truth’ that supports the narrative they choose to share. And neither, in my view, can occupy the moral high ground.
There can be little doubt that Mr Rudd’s leadership style was frequently inefficient and often ineffective. So many things had to go through the Prime Minister’s Office, and few decisions seemed to be made in a timely manner. And the administration of some decisions (I’m thinking particularly of the Home Insulation Scheme, and aspects of the Building the Education Revolution (BER)) were appalling. A government, elected with such high expectations, seemed to lose its way and lose its effectiveness very early. But replacing Mr Rudd with Ms Gillard made a bad situation worse. The way in which Ms Gillard replaced Mr Rudd (regardless of any ex post facto justification) was never going to give her government legitimacy. And, worse than that, it seems obvious that Ms Gillard and her supporters had no plan beyond replacing Mr Rudd. As if, by magic, replacing one leader with another would somehow fix everything.
‘Gillard and Rudd together were a very powerful combination. She was everything to the Labor Party that he wasn’t, and he was everything to the public that she wasn’t. Together they worked perfectly.’
More than a hundred people were interviewed for ‘The Killing Season’. Their accounts of events provide a damning account of the Rudd-Gillard era. But not everyone who was involved agreed to be interviewed. I’d be particularly interested in reading Bill Shorten’s account of events, given that he appeared to play such a pivotal role, and is likely to be Prime Minister if Labor is elected to govern later this year.
I wonder what the Labor Party has learned from these events. They managed to destroy their own government, to present personal rivalries as more important than the effective governance of Australia, and to hand government to Tony Abbott. Quite an accomplishment. If you are interested in Australian politics, the Rudd-Gillard era and its legacy, it’s worth reading this book.
Note: My thanks to NetGalley and Melbourne University Publishing for providing me with a free electronic copy of this book for review purposes.

A fine text accompaniment to a stunning three-part television documentary.
By Andrew McMillen
A fine accompaniment to a stunning three-part television documentary, 'The Killing Season Uncut' tells the story of Australia's Rudd-Gillard-Rudd prime ministership of the recent past. Like the series, the book follows a strict chronology that features extensive interviews with key players within the Australian Labor Party, including Rudd and Gillard. In the text version, journalist Sarah Ferguson – ably assisted by series researcher Patricia Drum – offers occasional asides about the interviews and the production itself, which involved more than 1200 shots in each of the three episodes; more than most feature films, apparently.
Having absorbed the documentary when it first screened in 2015, and thus being well acquainted with the story, I found that Ferguson's journalistic asides were the highlight of 'The Killing Season Uncut'. Insights such as this are well worth the price of admission: "The business of persuasion is a fraught one for journalists. Persuasiveness is one thing, bulls*** is another. You have to understand your subject intimately and what their purpose is in speaking on camera. I prefer candour but it's not enough by itself. And you are not friends, although it can appear that way. The line you shouldn't cross is usually only visible when it's behind you."

A real page turner
By anne mccallum
If you are a political animal and if you are interested in Australian politics you will find this book irresistible. It is well written and considered, designed to elaborate on the TV program of the same name. Rather than based on supposition and leaks, as is often the case with political commentary, the thoughtful and intelligent analysis is based on the interviews Furguson did with the participants. Wonderful stuff.
