The car won't even start. I had assumed it was from a dead battery but it won't run even after being push started.
Any ideas? At a loss now, unless the battery is completely done. If it lost all of its juice would this make a push start fail? Or should a push start eliminate the need for a battery for purely only getting the engine running?

I don't think you can push start modern cars with catalysts and fuel injection. You need to jump start with leads from another running car.

If the battery is totaly dead there won't be enough power for the imobiliser to read the key code fron the key.

It was the battery, just picked up a new one instead of bothering with jump starting/charging one that was gonna die again anyways.
Resolved, through the help of this forum, what the problem with the hatch was.
Thanks again to all that responded.

Cars can still be jump started as long not automatic, and as long as you have enough battery power for the code light to go off as DAVE said.
