About this product

Product Information

Kevin Rudd was given no warning, but even he lasted longer than Abbott. Julia Gillard had plenty of warnings, but even she lasted longer than Abbott. Abbott ignored all the warnings, from beginning to end - the public ones, the private ones, from his friends, his colleagues, the media. His colleagues were not being disloyal. They did not feel they had betrayed him; they believed he had betrayed them. Their motives were honourable. They didn't want him to fail; they wanted the government to succeed, and they wanted the Coalition re-elected. Abbott and Credlin had played it harder and rougher than anybody else to get where they wanted to be. But they proved incapable of managing their own office, much less the government. Then, when it was over, when it was crystal-clear to everyone that they had failed, when everyone else could see why they had failed, she played the gender card while he played the victim. In The Road to Ruin, prominent political commentator, author, and columnist for The Australian Niki Savva reveals the ruinous behaviour of former prime minister Tony Abbott and his chief of staff, Peta Credlin. Based on her unrivalled access to their colleagues, and devastating first-person accounts of what went on behind the scenes, Savva paints an unforgettable picture of a unique duo who wielded power ruthlessly but not well. 'An instant classic - the weirder-than-weird story of a duo who couldn't govern to save themselves.' Laurie Oakes

It certainly was "The Road to Ruin"
This book gives the inside story of what was happening in the Canberra government during the time of Tony Abbott's leadership. It is most compelling and I found it hard to put down. I can't wait for the next book which comes out later this year.

Makes pre-schools kinda grownup.
So many ins and outs. Back stabbing and "who do you trust"? So sad to see this game as " grown ups" play.
