Luc Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 Lets scratch some backs then eh. Been awhile since I've witnessed a genuine love-in. Dymocks is on the money though. Earn up to 145 points when you purchase this title. ISBN: 9781925713565 | Format: PaperBack | Release Date: 01/11/2018 I'd like some points and will investigate. ............................................................................................................................................................................. Top rated review: Scurrilous, obnoxious, rude and unforgiving, missiles sent with intent. Radcliffe makes the rest of the inner city urbanites look like navel gazers in a cul-de-sac. Not quite a door prop but certainly something you can rest your latte on or hot Masala chai so as not to disfigure that endangered species timber coffee table you paid the artisan a motza for, while contemplating the sheer unadulterated blandness of Australian politics as the players in the game continue their expedition to find the lowest hanging fruit and attack it. This book is an exemplar of how good our cartoonists are who daily break into a sweat to find the funny side,the nasty side, the deeper side(good luck with that one) of what passes for public debate in a country where the populace doesn't really give a s**t and the politicians reflect that in the sheer awfulness of both their behaviour and their lack of vision. ............................................................................................................................................................................. Get out and buy it now u lot.
ThirdDrawerDown Posted November 18, 2018 Author Posted November 18, 2018 Nice review Luc! Congrats on the top ranking!
ThirdDrawerDown Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 .... and here's one for the Victorian state election.
ThirdDrawerDown Posted August 24, 2019 Author Posted August 24, 2019 Hey @buddyev can I recommend this one for 2019's edition? from here After recently visiting Ballarat, it appears almost every family in town has been touched by that viper's nest of child abusers. Seems to me that we need a state-government-led whole-of-community health response as would happen if an epidemic such as ebola broke out in the city. After all, what's the difference?
buddyev Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 yes, considered that one but i already have a few on Pell. Plenty of other Dogs in there. Just doing finishing touches - off to the printers next week. 1
