The price of ensuring there could never be a repeat of the orgy of plots and counterplots that peaked during the Rudd-Gillard era, has been allowing Albanese free rein, possibly to Labor’s detriment.
As Labor MPs schemed against or simply deserted their prime minister Kevin Rudd in June 2010, few would have thought their actions would be afflicting a future Labor government 14 years later.
