Phillip Adams has been close to governments of various persuasions for over fifty years. Having been a confidant or a fierce opponents of many of Australia's most influential figures over that time, he has built up an unparalleled collection of anecdotes about our political and cultural leaders. Backstage Politics is also something of a memoir, tracing Adams' life in politics, media and the arts over the years. To make the collection complete, he even invited the pollies themselves to submit their stories, the most enthusiastic respondent not surprisingly being Senator Barnaby Joyce. The biggest characters of public life emerge afresh in these pages. From Menzies to Gillard via Gorton, Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating, Hanson, Howard, Rudd Backstage Politics takes us on a funny, insightful and revealing tour of the Australian political landscape.
