Goings-on in Northern Territory politics from 2012-2016 may read like satire, but it is all true. These are stories you couldn't make up. This book is an instruction manual on how NOT to run a government. In the Top End, politics is not a numbers game, it is a blood sport. In comparison to Rudd, Gillard, Abbott and Turnbull, the goings-on in the Northern Territory parliament are like watching a troop of clowns throwing knives into each other's backs. CROCS IN THE CABINET is partly a serious political book, partly a riotous look at the characters, the scandals and the incompetence of Northern Territory politics. It will make you laugh, cry, wince and shake your head as you read of: - a minister with a hostess club bill - a masturbating minister and the lewd videos he sent someone other than his wife - why a minister shouted 'we are in love' on the floor of the parliament - how the Chief Minister stared down a coup - how an MP forced the evacuation of a hotel - why an MP went fishing instead of dealing with leadership matters - exactly how bonkers the NT parliament really is. Written by two of the NT NEWS's best journalists, Walkley Award-winning Ben Smee and award-winning Christopher A. Walsh, this is FEAR AND LOATHING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL meets FAWLTY TOWERS.

From time to time, we all find our mind wandering off to faraway places. Many of us long for sandy beaches along clear blue oceans. Others may dream about exotic locations with interesting native inhabitants—and then there are those who want both. The Solomon Islands offers such a location. In Iumi Tru: Truly Us, author Julian Maka’a shares examples of the people and places that make up his homeland. He presents a collection of stories capturing the nuances of the provinces that make up the Solomon Islands. He considers the Skull Cave of Olevuga, the thriving barter system of the village of Longgu, and the rare birds found in the province of Isabel. Maka’a also introduces an important piece of brass and a woman who seems to control the flow of water. The Solomon Islands may not immediately jump to mind when contemplating vacation spots, but perhaps they should. Through the stories in Iumi Tru: Truly Us, you can learn about the culture and intriguing stories found throughout the islands and enjoy a slice of life in this exotic locale.
