So, why did no one challenge Gillard? The answer is simple - no one believes Labor has a hope of winning the next election and therefore no one wants to lead the party to what is certain to be a whopping election defeat. Look at Rudd. He wants the job as badly as she does, but even he knows that now is not the time to be leading the ALP. Gillard wasn't re-elected un-opposed because of her performance, good or bad. It was simply because no one wanted the job and that's all there is to it.
