My new book The Passion of Politics is on its way.

The book is a crash course in the most exciting ideas in politics. It will challenge your ideas about the world and get you to think carefully about what you believe in.

The ideas are illustrated by exploring their impacts on the big crises, scandals and turning points in Australian political history. It fills you in on the back story of today’s big debates and gives you the opportunity to glean the lessons learned and follow the twists and turns that have delivered us to this moment in history.

The book will be published by Allen & Unwin in 2012.
