review 1: Laugh out loud read. I love William McInnes, his style of writing always tickles my funny bone, yet he has a sensitivity to his writing that can also bring a tear to my eye. Took me back in time, being a fellow Queenslander and growing up in a big Labour voting family. Loved his relationship with his Mum and Dad, so old school, he has them to thank for his great sense of humour and down to earth personality. Some of the phrases his Mum and Dad used were simply hysterical, especially his Mum's comments about Latham. A must for anyone who is interested in reading a light hearted account of Australia's political history.
review 2: That’d Be Right is the third book by William McInnes, and is subtitled “A fairly true history of modern Australia”. McInnes remin... moreisces on thirty years of Australian life. This book is filled with politicians, cricketers, Olympians, politicians, media moghuls, greenies and dams, elections, action figures, lawn mowing, politicians, blind dates, politicians, elections, Anzacs, cricket wars, swimmers, yacht races and turds. Through it all, we are treated to his father Colin’s comments (and usually his mother Iris’s retorts) on a broad range of subjects. Plenty of laugh out loud moments: an enjoyable read. less
