WINNER OF THE 2017 AUSTRALIAN BOOK INDUSTRY AWARDS, GENERAL NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR WINNER OF THE 2016 MELBOURNE PRESS CLUB LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ‘There will be no wrecking, no undermining, and no sniping.’–Tony Abbott, 15 September 2015 Abbott’s performances in the party-room debates on education and climate change had ranged between woeful and pathetic. He sounded desperate, he was inconsistent, and — his colleagues thought — slightly ridiculous. They knew he would never stop going after cheap headlines during soft interviews where he sucked up the oxygen, with revisio... [Read More]

Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles was hailed as a masterpiece by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam when it was acquired for a record price by the Australian National Gallery in 1973. But far from being the jewel in Whitlam's cultural crown, the painting became instead a symbol of the Whitlam Government's flamboyance, extravagance, and excess.Both political history and cultural analysis, The Prime Minister's Christmas Card traces the events surrounding the notorious purchase of Blue Poles and the life of the ill-fated Whitlam Government. It provides a fascinating glimpse into Australia's social, cultural... [Read More]
Australia is in transition. Saying it is easy. The panic kicks in when we are compelled to describe what the future might look like. There is no complacent middle to aim at. We will either catch the next wave of prosperity, or finally succumb to the Great Recession.In this urgent essay, George Megalogenis argues that Australia risks becoming globalisation’s next and most unnecessary victim. The next shock, whenever it comes, will find us with our economic guard down, and a political system that has shredded its authority.Megalogenis outlines the challenge for Malcolm Turnbull and his governm...

Follow in the many footsteps of a curious traveller in search of roos, poos, Tassie tigers, lost prime ministers and the wild, weird and wonderful that is Australia. Professional author Dr Terry Marsh has been visiting Australia for many years, making copious notes and interpreting his finds from a perspective that blends observation with a wry northern England sense of humour, and, if he's being honest, sampling the wine and great food rather a lot, too. It all comes together in an idiosyncratic blend of people and places, flora and fauna, long drives and even longer rail journeys.
