    About this ebook

    The story of Team Australia in headlines.

    Inspired by the Onion, Evan Williams searched high and low for the real news headlines that capture the hilarious hypocrisy and absurdity of the Abbott years.

    What he found poses the question: was this Australia’s maddest ever government?

    You be the judge …

    Tony Abbott blames forgetting reporter’s name on being hungover

    Barnaby Joyce threatens to euthanise Johnny Depp’s dogs

    Abbott says Turnbull ‘invented internet’

    Senator Glenn Lazarus will be good for Federal Parliament, says his mum

    Labor frontbencher Gary Gray eats his own hair in Parliament

    Prime Minister eats another raw onion, choosing it over caramelised onion quiche

    Evan Williams has written for the Monthly, the Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, McSweeney’s and Crikey. He also wrote for ABC2’s daily satirical news show The Roast.

    Evan Williams

    Evan Williams was born and raised in Northern Utah but living in Los Angeles. He served in the United States Army for nearly nine years where he had the opportunity to travel all over Europe and the Middle East. During and after his studies at Southern Utah University, he worked for the National Park Service as a Park Ranger at The Grand Canyon and Death Valley national parks. His Park Ranger experience and love for traveling, adventure, and the great outdoors gave him inspiration to write the tales of The Princess and the Valley Man.
