Beyond Satire: Julia Caesar & the Kevin Sutra

Romping hilariously through the three years of the Gillard/Rudd government, Rowan Deans sharp pen and eagle eye chronicle the finest and funniest moments of what has been an exhilarating roller-coaster ride. From the back-stabbing intrigues of Julia Caesar in ancient Rome to the reincarnation of Kevin VII and the latest positions of the Kevin Sutra, from Mission Impossible exploits of forged credit cards and high class hookers to evil climate change denier monsters and the worlds greatest treasurer, from people smugglers to pink batts to politician pop stars, the most entertaining political story in Australian history finally gets the book it richly deserves. Whether youre keen to learn how Kevin finally pulled it off, or to complete a course in dismantling democracy, or to brush up on your spin and media manipulation techniques, Beyond Satire will bring tears to your eyes. Of laughter. “Damn! If only Id had this book back in June.” Julia. “One, theres not enough about me. Two, there should be more about me. Three, why isnt it all about me?” Kevin. “Nowhere near as good as Battlelines.” Tony. “The wit of Cicero meets the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln.” Bob. “I wont be reading this sexist rubbish because of my undying loyalty to Julia, er, I mean Kevin.” Penny. “I have no idea what Rowans written but I agree with every word he wrote.” Bill.
