Gillard has become a liability, but there doesn't seem to be any appetite on the part of Labor to dump her. There's really no one ready to take her place. The polls say the voters would like a return to Rudd, but I can't see the party going along with that now. The same people who axed Rudd are not going to bring him back.
This seems to be a more extreme version of the Obama/Clinton dynamic in the USA. Once HRC lost the nomination and was appointed Secretary of State, her favorability improved. She's now more popular than she's ever been, and markedly more popular than Obama. But of course, if she had been elected president instead of him, then it would be reversed.
