Yes, Australia is fucked. No, the answer is not Pauline Hanson.
The rent is criminal. The Reef has bleached for the sixth time. Wages have flatlined for a decade while the price of a block of Cadbury's somehow ended up at $9.50. The major parties are still standing in their hi-vis jackets next to the same coal pile, telling us this is fine.
It is not fine. You are angry. You are right to be.
Against your better judgement, you have started wondering whether maybe the woman from the fish & chip shop has a point.
She doesn't. But your anger does. This book is about the difference.
A short, sweary, mostly-true polemic for the genuinely furious Australian voter who is sick of being lied to in 2026.
