WEST AUSTRALIANA POLITICS

Described in Parliament as “the biggest political scandal in Australia today,” the great Midland abattoir affair is more than just another tale of skulduggery from the “Wild West.” It is, as even Premier Brian Burke conceded in Parliament, an “international story.” This book sets out the full story of that scandal. For the first time it lifts the lid on how deals are done, businessmen attacked, information suppressed, witnesses pressured and Parliament subverted. It is a book which everyone concerned about the fate of parliamentary democracy should read. #190823R/120923
