Transparent Imprint
When news of Macmillan’s planned ‘first novels’ imprint leaked out in the Spring of last year, there was extensive coverage in the press, on radio and on web blogs. The Guardian called it ‘Ryanair publishing’. Robert McCrum, writing in the Observer, deplored it as a marketing-led initiative and said publisher Mike Barnard had shown an ‘astounding abdication of cultural responsibility’. Jonny Geller of agent Curtis Brown said, ‘I don’t think there is a hope in hell of this succeeding’.

Losing Streak
A jaw-dropping account of how one company came to own every poker machine in the state of Tasmania – and the cost to democracy, the public purse and problem gamblers and their families. The story begins with the toppling of a premier, and ends with David Walsh, the man behind MONA, taking an eccentric stand against pokie machines and the political status quo. It is a story of broken politics and back-room deals. It shows how giving one company the licence to all the poker machines in Tasmania has led to several hundred million dollars of profits (mainly from problem gamblers) being diverted from public use, through a series of questionable and poorly understood deals. Losing Streak is a meticulous, compelling case study in governance failure, which has implications for pokies reform throughout Australia.
