About The Event
To celebrate the release of On Politics and Other Stuff, join authors and resident ABC-TV 7.30 satirists Mark Humphries and Evan Williams as they show you the world of politics as you've never seen it before. They'll take you inside the halls of power. And if they can't actually get inside because of security, they'll do some very fun speculating on what might be in there.
This is a ticketed event. Bookings are essential as numbers are limited.
About the Book
If you love iambic pentameter, then look away because this book about Australian politics is pure prose, baby!
This book is quite possibly the most comprehensive book on Australian politics ever written. That's right, it covers both
houses of parliament. Â One thing we know for sure is that this book is unputdownable. Something went wrong with the printing and it's all sticky.
