Here's Kevin Rudd talking to young Labor members in Brisbane a couple of days ago, just after the announcement from Turnbull on the UN job.

Rudd says he has a "deep dark secret" that sometimes life "turns to shit" and Turnbull was just "one of those brick walls" that life throws at you.

And here's Julie Bishop in a 15 September 2013 article from The Australian describing the Rudd show knows.  Very well apparently.

BISHOP has a reputation of being as hard as nails in federal parliament. She gives as good as she gets. Who can forget the claw gesture she made to former prime minister Julia Gillard during a clash between the two women?

Bishop says it was her way of getting “the girls’’ to put their claws away.

“She was being unpleasant and it was my way of saying ‘Stop being a bitch’,’’ Bishop says.

She is unforgiving of the fallen prime minister.

“She crossed the line. I lost any respect I had for her when she deliberately set out to destroy Tony Abbott as a human being,’’ Bishop says.

“It was utterly disgraceful, and I can’t think of a more vicious thing, than to call someone in public life a woman-hater. It was utterly false.’’

But there is a softer side to Bishop that the public perhaps seldom sees. Ironically, it was seen by former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd when he lost the leadership in 2010.

“He came to my office one night,” Bishop says. “It was a Wednesday night, after he had been dumped. We sat and talked for about three hours and he was very raw, very hurt and very bitter. It was apparent that he was not going to let this go and would be out for revenge and retribution. As it turns out, that’s what he spent the next three years doing.

“It was a private conversation but it was apparent that he would not let Julia Gillard get away with it. He did not believe he deserved to be treated that way and he wanted to prove Labor wrong.’’
