MacRudd -King of Oz- a Tragedy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992562149)

The book is in the form of a satirical play, loosely styled on Shakespeare's Macbeth. The main characters are caricatures of the leading figures in Australian politics in recent years. There is much back-room organising, back-stabbing, number-crunching, plotting the downfall of Prime Ministers - not to mention plenty of crude and fruity language (used in context and reflecting the actual words and phrases of the characters on whom it is based). None of the characters will escape ridicule or emerge completely unscathed from the author's sharp pen - or the even sharper tongues of their colleagues and co-plotters.
