About this ebook
An insiders’ account of Australian Labor Party machinations, from the Prime Minister down. It reveals nasty secrets about how the Labor Party is run today, and how today politics dramatically runs over policy. It will make readers wonder about Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s methods with worrying implications for federal Labor’s prospects, and for Australia.
BETRAYAL reveals these insights through The Daily Telegraph’s Chief Political Reporter Simon Benson’s detailed exposé of an extremely vicious, behind-the-scenes battle over a few clapped out power stations in NSW... when the Labor Party machine brought down an elected Premier and helped cripple Australia’s most populous State. Simon Benson’s explosive tell-all book reveals Kevin Rudd’s betrayal of Australia’s most populous State, that led to an elected Premier’s forced resignation, exposing the Labor Party as one no longer focused on policy but politics.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think it was overly critical of Rudd although it was a fascinating look at NSW ALP Politics and what the disease meant for Federal labor. Had Rudd read it prior to events in June 2010 perhaps he could of got ahead of the coup.
