one thing I am really disappointed in is all the ministers resigning their positions. They are leaving their areas with no one to lead them heading into the winter break and an election. 

So they hate this man so much they will abandon their posts and allow the government to flail around even more so. 

Cats, I for one, am really pleased that they are all going.  The ALP needs to start again.  At the moment, we're seeing the last few hours of parliament until after the election, so we'll be in caretaker mode.  Plenty of time for the new ministers to become familiar with their portfolios ...

Things were going to change, anyway.  I'm sure Rudd will have different priorities and policies.
