The Gospel According to Paul
My fellow irrelevant Australians. Never, in the history of our democracy, has Australian political life been in such a parlous state. There are people living in this country who have never seen true political leadership, having been governed in recent times by the dullest, most sanctimonious, hypocritical choir of patsies. This book will give them a woefully overdue idea of what a real leader looks like. Leadership is not like a can of Popeye's spinach - you have to earn it. And earn it I did. And I am going to tell you how. In The Gospel According to Paul, writer and satirist Jonathan Biggins draws on his award-winning play to harness the eviscerating wit, wisdom and confidence of Keating, showing us the evolution of Paul John Keating, from Bankstown to the Lodge and beyond. Almost the autobiography Keating said he would never write, it is a timely reminder of the political leadership we are sorely missing.
The 700 Habits of Highly Ineffective Parents
Catering to the generation that has been handed the world on an Ikea plate and has prospered in an unprecedented age of peace and economic growth, this entertaining reference contains laugh-out-loud anecdotes on parents and parenting. Equally perfect for those who jump at the slightest cough from a baby—thermometer in one hand, telephone in the other, and finger poised to speed dial the doctor—as it is for those who cover the fridge with the scrawled masterpieces of their toddlers to encourage their artistic genius, this guide both satirizes and comforts parents. From documenting the lives of parents who lie awake at night fretting that they didn't inculcate their eight-year-old with enough self-esteem to those who anticipate disaster if anyone has undocumented nut allergies at a birthday party, this hilarious handbook is guaranteed to give peace of mind to even the most high-strung moms and dads.

Behind Dark Eyes
He was the pop star with the raccoon eyes who sang ‘Hollywood Seven’ and ‘Six Ribbons’; the swashbuckling Pirate King in The Pirates of Penzance; the rocker who packed beer barns across Australia; and, in the words of Tim Rice, ‘a brilliantly judged and truly exciting’ Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar. On the small screen he was as comfortable portraying Bobby Rivers in All Together Now as he was Jonathan Garrett in Against the Wind. But there was a lot more to Jon English. He was a proud father of four who married his high school sweetheart. He was so devoted to the Parramatta Eels that he wrote one of their team songs. And he was also a composer whose rock opera, Paris, proved to be the biggest challenge of his life. Written with the full support of Jon’s family, friends and peers, Behind Dark Eyes swings from the massive highs of Jesus Christ Superstar and pop stardom to the turmoil brought about by creative frustration and depression - and Jon’s tragic death in 2016 at the age of 66.
