Best Prime Minister we've ever had comes out of the woodwork yet again to spit undiluted facts about the nature of our country. Goddamn he's good at explaining things. It's a bit dot-pointy and he repeats himself a fair bit though. Even still, good shit Kev.

An important read for any Australian, especially Gen-Y and younger.
As the younger Australian generations begin to learn more about politics, and have the power to sway it, this book is an important read to understand how we got where we are now (in relation to the most recent political history) - as well as what we should be aiming for in the future.
Knowing more about the political culture is more important than ever, as we face natural disasters, economic uncertainty, and a pandemic.
This book not only discusses Murdoch's stranglehold on the Media, but also outlines other political issues that are dragging Australia backward as a nation.
I know some will assume this book to be biased due to Rudd's background, but it also has great insight due to his background.
Even if you are Australian Liberal leaning, or firmly Australian Liberal, you should make a point to read this book.
It will give you more understanding of the Labor Party.
Even if you don't agree with the points made, there are important topics raised and discussed in this book.
And it's only 90 pages, so a super quick read.
It only goes to prove when we vote, it really does count, and shapes what is possible for the future of Australia.
I commend Kevin Rudd for not going out quietly all those years ago, but continuing to fight for what he believes in.
