Summary: A journalist’s insight into how the leadership style of Abbott and Credlin resulted in Abbott’s downfall.
Thoughts: I have absolutely no interest in, or understanding of, politics, but I am curious about certain individuals, and Peta Credlin is one. Unfortunately, this book didn’t give me the insights I expected into her personality, background, or her relationship with Abbott, but it was a good example of the results of hubris – when overconfidence and abuse of power are not appreciated by those around you. A good summary of Abbott’s not even two years in office – and rather welcome, after his maligning of poor Julia Gillard, to know he lasted a year less than she did in the top job.
