But when she announced in February 2011 that her government would introduce a carbon pricing scheme, Kevin Rudd and his small team of malcontents were already in lock-step with key Canberra and interstate journalists in a drive to push her out of the prime ministerial chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNever has a prime minister been so assiduously stalked. Cast as a political liar and policy charlatan, Julia Gillard was also mercilessly and relentlessly lampooned for her hair, clothes, accent, her arse, even the way she walks and talks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Stalking of Julia Gillard\u003c\/em\u003e is the story about one of the most extraordinary episodes in recent Australian political history. It focuses on Team Rudd and the media's treatment of its slow-death campaign of destabilisation, with its disastrous effect on Gillard and the government's functioning. It is about a politician who was never given a fair go; not in the media, not by Rudd, not by some in her own caucus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47617290371308,"sku":"9781760110864","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781760110864-the-stalking-of-julia-gillard.jpg?v=1778496978"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kerry-anne-walsh.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
