Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Peter Van Onselen has never shied away from expressing his opinion. As one of Australias most high-profile political commentators, his preparedness to apply a well-trained mind to political, economic and social issues always provokes interestand the response is not always favourable. In his first anthology of columns from The Australian, readers will traverse the state of play in Australian politics since the 2019 bushfires and the start of the Coronavirus pandemic right up to the 2022 Australian Federal Election. Peters headlines often evoke rabid social media commentary about the article and the prolific analyst of nationalaffairs himself. In PVO join Peter as he goes beyond the headlines and examines the stories that have defined us, their relevance today, the fallout of his pieces at the time, and the times hes had his opinion changed.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Without fear or favour, How Good is Scott Morrison? examines the trials and tribulations of our 30th prime minister. Investigating Morrison's unlikely rise to the liberal leadership and his miracle electoral win, van Onselen and Errington put his leadership under the spotlight. Covering Morrison's disastrous management of the catastrophic bushfire season that was highlighted by the extraordinary statement, 'I don't hold the hose, mate,' and the decision to holiday while the country burned, How Good is Scott Morrison? shows his resolve and the redemption the government's response to the pandemic brought him. Right now, Scott Morrison seems unassailable and sure to win the next election, but what exactly is his vision for Australia? A pragmatist rather than an ideologue, he is a deeply Pentecostal religious man but he doesn't wear his faith as a badge of honour. So what does he really believe in? When the history of this period is written, Morrison will certainly be seen as an election winner but will he be viewed as having had the courage and vision to change Australia for the better, or the worse? The hour brought forth the man but is the man up to the job? A compelling examination of Morrison's leadership, the decisions he has made and his vision for Australia.
