The Insider: The scoops, the scandals and the serious business within the Canberra bubble
Christopher Pyne lifts the lid on life inside the Canberra bubble.
Canberra runs on a rhythm outsiders never quite see — the corridor deals, the leadership numbers, the long nights in Parliament House — and few people have lived it as fully as Christopher Pyne. In The Insider he serves up the scoops, the scandals and the serious business of the capital with the wit of a natural raconteur, taking readers behind the doors of the building at the heart of the city. For the political tragic who watches Question Time for fun, the public servant who works in its shadow, or the relative who cannot stop arguing about Canberra over Christmas lunch, it is an irresistible read. It also makes a perfect souvenir of a Parliament House visit — proof that the Canberra bubble is far stranger and funnier than it looks from the lawns outside.
