Mungo's 2013 Election Wrap-Up

As the 2013 federal election slinks ever closer, who better than Mungo MacCallum to make sense of it all?

This typically fast-paced, hilarious and incisive account follows Canberra's finest in action, from Tony Abbott's hi-vis vest to Julia Gillard's spectacles, with cameo appearances by Simon Crean's Filofax and Peter Slipper's bath towel.

With wit and insight, MacCallum documents the ups and downs of this longest of campaigns. He dissects Labor's self-destructive leadership wobbles, the Coalition's cheap and nasty Broadband Lite, and the plight of our billionaire battlers, doing it tough on $250K.

This is the essential account of the 2013 campaign from one of Australia's most original and entertaining writers.
