- Summary:
-
'I fancy Malcolm (Turnbull) is like the big red bunger. You're lighting up, there's a bit of a fizz, then nothing. Nothing.' An updated, gift edition of the bestselling The Book of Paul, presenting the one and only Mr Paul Keating - at his straight-shooting, scumbag-calling, merciless best. Paul lets rip - on John Howard- 'The little desiccated coconut is under pressure and he is attacking anything he can get his hands on.' On Peter Costello- 'The thing about poor old Costello is he is all tip and no iceberg.' On John Hewson- '(His performance) is like being flogged with a warm lettuce.' On Tony Abbott- 'If Tony Abbott ends up the prime minister of Australia, you've got to say, God help us.' And that's just a taste.
