Two Weeks in Lilliput
By Steve Vizard
$9.00
Two Weeks in Lilliput is a hilarious and penetrating personal journey through the 1998 Constitutional Convention held to debate whether Australia should become a republic.
Steve Vizard, writer, lawyer, producer and elected delegate to the convention, applies his needle-sharp wit and eye for detail to this side-splitting, fly-on-the-wall, rollercoaster ride through Canberra’s corridors of power.
Here is the insider’s account of the backroom deals and excesses of some of Australia’s most colourful characters – the 60 Minutes dinner party from hell, an assault on Janet Holmes Γ Court, Jeff Kennett’s late arrival, Hazel Hawke’s return to Canberra, and an evening with the Governor-General.
A must-read for anyone interested in Australia’s future as a republic.
