The best feature of this book is the lamentation of the the agendas and media barracking surrounding Kevin Rudd whilst remaining doggedly unaware as it stands up as a prime example of the same behaviour with a different beneficiary. I am almost forced to believe it was written intentionally as a self-referential political comedy. Nobody could so strongly lack self-awareness and still put a book together.
Whilst this book does good work portraying much of the back room dealing and poor journalism that plagues Canberra the assertion that the Rudd saga was a somehow unique case where all the unwritten rules were broken is the height of absurdity.
In short, a book with an agenda railing against those who write with an agenda. Comedy gold.
What a book! A tell-all account of the undermining of a PM. I was totally exasperated at the lengths krudd would go to fulfil his narcissistic nightmare, aided and abetted by a nave, gullible and disingenuous media gallery. You deserve to be rid of them all, Julia-especially the poison dwarf now masquerading as a legitimate PM. Thank you Julia, and thank you Kerry Ann.
