So
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is offed by Julia Gillard, Gillard is whacked in the
backswing by Rudd, Rudd loses to Tony Abbott, now Abbott
is facing a party leadership vote that he could very well lose. Australian politics
are not for the faint of heart.
One
thing that Prime Minister Abe doesn’t have to worry about is an unlikely Rudd comeback
in the next national election. Rudd’s sinophilia, I’ve been told from someone
reliable on this matter, has been greatly exaggerated.

Apologies if I've taken the last point too literally but Rudd (and Gillard) retired after the previous Federal election so the chance of either returning is for all intents and purposes zero.
Michael:
I know too little about Australian politics to go beyond “unlikely,” but I’m happy to take your word for it and alter it to “as-likely-as-ten-monkeys-typing-the-entire-works-of-Shakespeare-including-the-sonnets.”
