About this book
For many years in Australia, reading journalist Alan Ramsey's vitriolic, insightful, and always engaging pieces in the Sydney Morning Herald was a standard feature of Saturday mornings. This book is the compilation of Ramsey's best work, granting ample access to Australia's national parliament and politicians. Reflecting upon how 25 years of national leadership by Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, and John Howard changed the nation forever, this collection also includes a discussion on the tumultuous political events of 2010 as well as the classic Ward O'Neill cartoons associated with Ramsey's weekly column.
