Macquarie Dictionary has drawn upon its vast resources to bring together an up-to-date, readers-must of bad behaviours, dodgy practices, audacious insults and other tidbits of interest. A tongue-in-cheek look at how politics can shape our language and be wielded for power and influence.
Dirty Politics: A - Z of trickery, treachery and other tasty treats includes:
- simple, explanatory entries with a splash of humour
- sledges and slip-ups from our politicians' very own mouths
- close to two decades of political winners and contenders from the annual Macquarie Word of the Year, from bonk ban and broligarchy through to the virtue signalling soy cap intelligentsia
- real-life citations from Australian publications to illustrate usage
