The Rudd Government took office in 2007, and twice amended the "2007 Act" in 2008. The Labor Party replaced Kevin Rudd with Julia Gillard in 2010 and the Gillard Government also made two amendments to the "2007 Act". The first amendment in 2010 introduced by Jenny MacKlin, Indigenous Affairs Minister, ended the suspension of the "Racial Discrimination Act 1975". In February 2011, former Howard government minister Brough argued the Intervention had become stagnant and it would not be workable unless it was revitalised.
