Tony Speaks! The Wisdom of the Abbott (Black Inc, 2012)
You’ve seen him wearing speedos, kissing babies, driving a mining truck and chatting to his flock.
But who is the real Tony Abbott?
In the grand tradition of Bushisms and The Wit of Whitlam, here are the sayings of Tony Abbott, unvarnished and rich in revelation – the very best and worst of Australia’s irrepressible mad monk.
Tony speaks – on poverty: “We just can’t stop people from being homeless if that’s their choice.”
Climate change: “Absolute crap.”
Female equality: “I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons.”
Christian teaching: “Jesus knew that there was a place for everything and it is not necessarily everyone’s place to come to Australia.”
And that's just a taste…

Kattertonia: The Wit and Wisdom of Bob Katter (Black Inc, 2013)
You've seen him wearing Top Gun sunnies, bringing a billy to boil, leaning on a bunch of bananas and addressing the 'Don't Meddle with Marriage' rally. But what's going on under that hat? In these pages we lift the brim and uncover the words of a true-blue Aussie who shoots from the hip.
Bob Katter doesn't hold back when it comes to himself: 'There is a rage in my soul, a hatred in my soul.'
Far-north Queensland: 'It is a magic land and we could support … a population of 80 million people in the Gulf Country alone.'
Women: 'He said that I considered women second-class citizens. If they were staying at home and not working then I would not consider them second-class; I would consider them first-class citizens.'
Environmental activists: '… not a race of people that I like in any way, shape or form.'
The live cattle trade industry: 'They're people that love their animals, sort of.'
And that's just a taste of Kattertonia …
