The nation had not endured trials of this scale and impact since the Spanish flu and the Great Depression.Simon Benson and Geoff Chambers – two of Australias top political journalists – were granted exclusive access to the crucial machinations of government at the countrys highest levels, not just within the corridors of power but also behind doors normally sealed.
