MacCallum, Mungo. Mungo: The Man Who Laughs, Melbourne, Vic. : Duffy & Snellgrove, 2002.
"I come from a political family. This is less of a boast than an admission. While a trace of convict or aboriginal ancestry that was once a matter for shame and concealment is now considered rather chic, politicians remain the pits". The author, Australian journalist Mungo MacCallum, details his involement is politics, from his youth in the 1940s & 50s through to the dismissal of the Whitlam government in 1975. MacCallum’s distinguishing features as a political writer are habit of backing left-wing causes (often too left-wing to be successful) and gift for humour unrivalled among the commentariat. MacCallum is one of the Australian political journos who’s been around for years, and so has a million entertaining anecdotes at hand, covering all of Australia’s post-war prime ministers.
