Horan:
"It’s a thinly veiled accusation made less thin by the word “stalking” in the title. It is uncomfortable because the argument falls flat when you remember that Rudd was the one knifed in the first place. He wasn’t white-anting, as much as retaliating. But there is little scholarship to back up Walsh’s hypothesis (even though it’s not implicitly stated as such). Again, her premise falls down because of a lack of third-party analysis and commentary.
Peter Craven:
"Kerry-Anne Walsh is at her best emphasising the difficulties of minority government, but she never comes to terms with the Peter Principle of which Gillard made herself such a victim."
