Credlin and Co is a detailed account of the government that promised to be grown-up but broke that promise along with many others. There are no revelations here but there is a comprehensive and objective account of what may well be judged one of Australia's worst governments. Patrick shows Prime Minister Tony Abbott's lack of judgement, leadership and ability to make the change from Opposition Leader to Prime Minister. The result was detrimental for the Coalition Government and it was detrimental for Australia because Abbott exacerbated the already poor opinion Australians had of politicians. Lack of trust, respect and regard for our political leaders ultimately damages our system of government and that is detrimental for all of us. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Credlin was Abbott's enforcer, his disciplinarian, his counsellor, his brain, his mother. Her strength as a chief of staff was a sign of his weakness as a prime minister: she gave him the option of disengaging. Credlin allowed Abbott to be who he wanted to be: the good bloke, the philosopher, the weekend fire-fighter, the surfer, the orator, the man of action. If Abbott was a natural leader, it could have worked. But he lacked the most important attribute of all: judgement. Tony Abbott and his chief of staff, Peta Credlin, ran a brilliant campaign in opposition. But their approach led to disaster in government. When Abbott became prime minister, he and Credlin ruthlessly controlled ministers, backbenchers, the public service and the media. They shut out voices that questioned Abbott's way. Everything started to unravel. Credlin & Co. is the story of a relationship that determined the fate of a government. It shows in stunning detail the disastrous consequences of power abused, and the broken people left in its wake Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
