From the Olympics to the Tampa, from Kylie Minogue to our nonsensical dollar, Stokes explains 'The Australian' view of life in the new millennium. This series of funny, entertaining and erudite editorials from the national newspaper is essential reading for followers of current affairs, the media and modern Aussie culture.
This book has something for everyone, whether they are politicians, in the media industry, studying at university or just interested in Australia.
It has its funny moments like the editorial on Russell Crowe at the Oscars, it has its in-depth moments with the editorial on Cheryl Kernot and it has its reflective moments with the editorials on September 11. With chapters on 'The Sports-Mad Australia', 'The Australian Voter', 'The Wordly Wise Australian' and much more.
The book is a compilation of 130 editorials, 120 'And Another Thing' jokes and scores of cartoons from 'The Australian' newspaper since 2000.
