The Whitlam Mob
Mungo Maccallum
"We were a motley mob, we sans-culottes of Canberra ..." In this vastly entertaining book, Mungo MacCallum captures the spirit of a nation-changing time. He portrays the Whitlam government's key figures - from Gough and Margaret to Lionel Murphy, Bill Hayden and Jim Cairns - as well as "the other mob" in opposition - 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 "the toe-cutter"? This is Mungo at his best: vivid and barbed, nostalgic but always clear-eyed.
