Savva portrays a fatally flawed leader who trashed his government, his party, and his legacy.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e--Laurie Oakes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBetween 2013 and 2022, Tony Abbott begat Malcolm Turnbull, who begat Scott Morrison. For nine long years, Australia was governed by a succession of Coalition governments rocked by instability and bloodletting, and consumed with prosecuting climate and culture wars while neglecting policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the end, among his detractors--and there were plenty--Morrison was seen as the worst prime minister since Billy McMahon. Worse even than Tony Abbott, who lasted a scant two years in the job, whose main legacy was that he destroyed Julia Gillard, then himself, and then Turnbull.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMorrison failed to accept the mantle of national leadership, or to deal adequately with the challenges of natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic. He thought reform was a vanity project. He said he never wanted to leave a legacy. He got his wish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNiki Savva, Australia's renowned political commentator, author, and columnist, was there for all of it. In \u003cem\u003eThe Road to Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e, she revealed the ruinous behavior of former prime minister Abbott and his chief of staff, Peta Credlin, that led to the ascension of Turnbull. In \u003cem\u003ePlots and Prayers\u003c\/em\u003e, she told the inside story of the coup that overthrew Turnbull and installed his conniving successor, Morrison.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow she lays out the final unravelling of the Coalition at the hands of a resurgent Labor and the so-called teal independents that culminated in the historic 2022 election. With her typical access to key players, and her riveting accounts of what went on behind the scenes, \u003cem\u003eBulldozed\u003c\/em\u003e is the unique final volume of an unputdownable and impeccably sourced political trilogy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e'I don't hold a hose, mate.'\u003c\/strong\u003e Scott Morrison, 20 December 2019, on the Black Summer bushfires\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'It's not a race.'\u003c\/strong\u003e Scott Morrison, 11 March 2021, on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 05, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42155664670855,"sku":"9781922585981","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/453a604336444d99d8c35ff31385038d.webp?v=1733237834","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/bulldozed-scott-morrisons-fall-and-anthony-albaneses-rise-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
