The Killing Season is a 2015 Australian television three-part documentary series which analyses the events of the Rudd–Gillard government of 2007–2013, a turbulent period of Australian political history. Journalist Sarah Ferguson interviewed the Australian Labor Party decision-makers and strategists who engaged in internal conflict that brought down a government which had successfully countered the post-2008 global financial crisis.[1]
