    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.
