Summary: On 24 November 2007 Australia resoundingly changed government. If you think you know what really happened during that tumultuous year behind the closed doors of the Liberal Party, in the back rooms of the ACTU and deep in the campaign war room of the Labor Party, think again.

Peter Hartcher, Sally Warhaft and Bob Ellis consider the rise of Rudd and Howard's demise with Tony Jones.
