Joel Deane - Catch and Kill: The Politics of Power

I had this in my office - as of yesterday, no longer my office! - for a day or two this week and of course everyone has been talking about / reading it. Bracks, Brumby, Thwaites, Hulls - with Terry Moran and DPC prominent too. Particularly salient given current Victorian government (ie Labor).

Much the interesting read, and I didn't feel as much that it was intellectual junk food (enjoyable while you're consuming it but ultimately not only not nourishing but actually unhealthy) as I usually do with books about and around politics. Ah politics, always the frustrating, unanswerable question.
