The Money Men
How much do we know about the second most important office in the nation? Who was Australia's first treasurer? Who resigned because of a relationship breakdown with the PM? And who did Frank Hardy base his character Ted Thurgood in Power without Glory on? The Money Men is the first in-depth look at the twelve most notable and interesting men to have held the office of Treasurer of Australia. Former Treasurer Chris Bowen brings a unique insider perspective to the lessons learned from the successes and failures of those who went before him. Who does Chris Bowen think has been Australia’s most exceptional Treasurer? With revealing interviews of the five last treasurers, The Money Men dares to answer that question.
On Charlatans
Chris Bowen, who was to be the next Treasurer has had plenty of time to think about what went wrong and why charlatans are winning in the game of politics. Why do we continue to vote for politicians who say, 'I don't hold a hose, mate,' or advocate we drink bleach to fight COVID? Or shut down pubs at 10 pm because you can't catch COVID after 10pm? Is an authentic politics possible after Morrison, Trump and Boris?

A Bloody Book
How long does a lost child hold onto hope? "When did you stop caring? Go into any kindergarten classroom and ask those kids how many want to become readers. All hands go up. They keep them up until you give them some eye contact because they want you to know that they are well on their way to becoming readers. And now you're all in this remedial class with your failing grades and bad reputations. So, when did you all stop caring?" No one, dear reader, is prepared for Maxx's answer or his chilling tail of death, struggle, and murder. Come read a book that has long been student approved. When writing a book based on struggling readers, Mr. Bowen went straight to the source. Each chapter became an assignment in an eighth grade classroom of students who once boasted about not having read a book since the second grade. His inspiration became his mentors and his toughest critics. They would not let it go until they felt he had told it right. Come see for yourself.

Offshore
What has happened on Nauru and Manus since Australia began its most recent offshore processing regime in 2012? This essential book provides a comprehensive and uncompromising overview of the first three years of offshore processing since it recommenced in 2012. It explains why offshore processing was re-established, what life is like for asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru and Manus, what asylum seekers, refugees and staff in the offshore detention centres have to say about what goes on there, and why the truth has been so hard to find. In doing so, it goes behind the rumours and allegations to reveal what is known – and what still is not known – about Australia’s offshore detention centres.
