Allen & Unwin April 1, 1991. 1991. Softcover. 8vo softcover 208pp very good. The Courtesans is the story of the relationship between the press gallery and the most media-concious government Australia had ever seen, the government of Bob Hawke. As a result of its preference for the Hawke style and its sympathy with the government's objectives, the Press Gallery had moved close to the government - perhaps too close for the principles of journalism and the practice of democracy. The Courtesans is about power without responsibility. It argues that the Press Gallery is a secret and elite institution, out of step with the community it purports to serve and obsessed with its own machinations. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to look behind the facade and understand the real workings of Australian politics. ., Allen & Unwin April 1, 1991, 1991, 0, Melbourne University Press, Australia, 2007.

Drawn from extensive interviews and comprehensive research, Vizard Uncut seeks to demystify the enigma that is Steve Vizarda??underpants salesman, corporate lawyer, Gold Logie winner, philanthropist, victim of a multi-million-dollar fraud and subject of a high-profile investigation by ASIC. In the early 1990s, Vizard revolutionised television comedy with the ground-breaking Fast Forward and Full Frontal, with characters such as Roger Ramshett, Hunch and the airline stewards Wayne and Darryl. He is also well remembered as the wise-cracking, stunt-pulling host of Tonight Live who interviewed everyone from Kylie Minogue to Gerard Depardieu. The late 1990s saw him become a part of the Melbourne establishment, especially in the arts, entertainment and sport. Then, in one swift blow, Steve Vizard went from icon to pariah. Steven Bedwell gives us the complete, complex story of the man, pieced together from never-before-seen documents and testimonies. We get insight into the world of top-rating television and show business, the machinations of the Seven network, ASIC's investigation, the 'deal' and the various court hearings that led to Vizard's loss of reputation. How did things go so wrong so quickly? *** Quantity Available: 2. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN/EAN: 9780522854749.
