On Mutiny: Meet the Author David Speers at ANU

David Speers will be talking about his new book, On Mutiny, a recap of the most brutal and bizarre week in Australian politics since the dismissal. 

Why was Malcolm Turnbull removed and how did Scott Morrison emerge as Australia's thirtieth prime minister? On Mutiny is the inside story, a blow-by-blow exposé of the plotting, double dealing and numbers game by politicians in the most brutal period in Australian politics since the Dismissal. If we really do get the government we deserve, On Mutiny might provoke a civilian rebellion.

Pre-event book signing will be available from 6pm and again after the event. This event is in association with Dymocks Canberra and books will be available to purchase.
