Ebook: On Being a Minister : Behind the mask

"It’s hard to imagine a job that requires less education than that of government minister," says John Hill. "It’s also hard to imagine a job where the occupant is less likely to seek help than that of government minister." John Hill knew when he quit as a government minister that what he had learnt - often painfully - over 11 years was likely to disappear with him. So he wrote it down ... "'On Being a Minister is a welcome how-to book for those truly interested in politics and public service. Always a passionate thinker, John Hill's wise book is flecked with the same urbanity that characterised his time in public life. What a relief to have a book about politics written with charm and true insight, instead of melodrama and vengeance." - Nicola Roxon
