Two Weeks in Lilliput is a hilarious and penetrating personal journey through the 1998 Constitutional Convention held to debate whether Australia should become a republic. Steve Vizard, writer, lawyer, producer and elected delegate to the convention, applies his needle-sharp wit and eye for detail to this side-splitting, fly-on-the-wall, rollercoaster ride through Canberra's corridors of power. Here is the insider's account of the backroom deals and excesses of some of Australia's most colourful characters: the 60 Minutes dinner party from hell; an assault on Janet Holmes a Court; Jeff Kennett's late arrival; Hazel Hawke's return to Canberra; and an evening with the Governor-General. A must-read for anyone interested in Australia's future as a republic.
