I see what you mean, Chuck, a lot happened with Gillard and Rudd.
Just a snapshot;
1- over a thousand died at sea,
2- another four, of our own, died in the rooves of houses,
3- increased everyones power bill,
4- kicked the mining industry in the proverbials,
5- supported the boat chartering business in Indonesia,
6- managed to take us through a mining boom,
7- took us from a credit 'per head' to a huge debit, during that mining boom,
8- taught us how not to get along together,
9- only apologised to those 'stolen', not to the rest of us, who they stole from, to facilitate getting all the above done.
