Christopher Pyne has been through many and so-called many things during his long political career. Member of Sturt. defense Minister. Opposing business director. House Leader. ‘Repairer’. Any story in Canberra that he doesn’t know about is insignificant.

Now, after 26 years, the insider is finally outside the House of Commons and ready to burst the Canberra bubble with his signature sharp wit. His revelations of deals, double deals, friendships and feuds shed light on the political processes of those in power: ego, sacrifice, winner, loser, war win and lose. From Howard to Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison, Christopher Pyne has seen and heard it all. The Insider is one of the most brilliant, funny, engaging audiobooks by an Australian public figure you’ll ever hear.

A great account from Christopher’s point of view. He wrote with conviction and was a true believer. The book did its best to be realistic and accurate. I was able to filter out some biases. It’s like “There are only policy successes and intelligence failures”. Both are never flipped around. I’ve always had a crush on Christopher aka “The Poodle” Pyne. He has really worked hard and is committed to doing the best for Australia and South Australia. He is Honest and professional and without a doubt the transformation of Defense Industry and contribution to the development of Defense is truly commendable. A good read although I winced a few times in reverse bias but you will accept the good with the bad. I would be better off taking the time to read it. You should also! Well done debugger.
