Book excerpt: A 'illegal' strike by two garbos has unexpected and far reaching consequences in this outrageous political satire. By turns, The Outcasts of Foolgarah is angry, funny, offensive, outrageous and disturbing. On its first publication, Geoffrey Dutton wrote of The Outcasts of Foolgarah that it was 'more genuinely Australian than The Weird Mob and much wider in the range of its humour and satire than Here's Luck.' He went on. 'They're a Weird Mob caught the idiom but flattered us, Hardy knows the idiom even better and doesn't flatter anyone.' Certainly not politicians!Frank Hardy (1917-1994) was a journalist, playwright, scriptwriter and award-winning novelist. His works include the bestselling Power Without Glory (1950), the powerful The Unlucky Australians (1968 - also in the Untapped Collection), and the internationally acclaimed But the Dead Are Many: A Novel in Fugue Form (1975). He was described by Jack Waterford in The Canberra Times as 'a socialist with a streak of the larrikin, a supporter of the underdog and one of Australia's best yarners and story-tellers'.

Download or read book Dirty Secrets written by Meredith Burgmann and published by NewSouth. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving, funny and sometimes chilling book, leading Australians open their ASIO files and read what the state's security apparatus said about them. Writers from across the political spectrum including Mark Aarons, Phillip Adams, Nadia Wheatley, Michael Kirby, Peter Cundall, Gary Foley and Anne Summers confront – and in some cases reclaim – their pasts. Reflecting on the interpretations, observations and proclamations that anonymous officials make about your personal life is not easy. Yet we see outrage mixed with humour, not least as ASIO officers got basic information wrong a lot of the time, though many writers have to contend with personal betrayal. Some reflect on the way their political views have – or haven’t – changed. Meredith Burgmann and all those who were spied on have produced an extraordinary book where those being watched look right back.
Download or read book Political Corruption in Australia written by Peter John Perry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001: Despite considerable expansion, the scholarly literature on political corruption has remained fragmentary, often polarized, consisting either of sweeping systematic statements, or case-specific examples. Perry bridges this gap and proves the need for further such study in this most worthwhile examination of the place of political corruption in Australia. The Australian experience is paid thorough, yet concise attention and then it is related to the concept of political corruption in its various and changing forms and interpretations. Assuming no familiarity with the central intellectual issues, Perry lucidly explores them in terms of their method, practice and definition with particular reference to Australia. Primarily suitable for academics interested in politics, geography, development studies, history and sociology, this book’s accessible style also makes it of interest to a general audience.

Book excerpt: Now pushing fifty, Murray Whelan is spinning his wheels in parliament - a toothless cog in Labor's stalled political machine. But when the remains of a long-lost union official are found in dried-up Lake Nillahcootie, Murray soon gets sucked into some murky waters. For a start, it seems that his old mate Charlie Talbot was implicated. But Charlie has just dropped dead of a coronary occlusion in the dining room of the Mildura Grand Hotel, leaving behind a lot of unanswered questions. The press are sniffing around and Labor's enemies are lining up for a free kick. Then there's the blackmail attempt. And as if that wasn't enough, there's an ALP preselection going pear-shaped. Eagerly awaited by his legion of fans, Shane Maloney's sixth Murray Whelan mystery sees the clown prince of the true believers in vintage form.
