тАЬWe were a motley mob, we sans-culottes of Canberra тАжтАЭ
In this vastly entertaining book, Mungo MacCallum captures the spirit of a nation-changing time. He portrays the Whitlam governmentтАЩs key figures тАУ from Gough and Margaret to Lionel Murphy, Bill Hayden and Jim Cairns тАУ as well as тАЬthe other mobтАЭ in opposition тАУ Billy McMahon, John Gorton, Malcolm Fraser and many more.
The Whitlam Mob addresses some crucial questions: What was the night of the long prawns? Who was the playboy of the parliament? And who was тАЬthe toe-cutterтАЭ?
This is Mungo at his best: vivid and barbed, nostalgic but always clear-eyed.
