    About this ebook

    As the Coalition came to power in 2013, Lee Zachariah married the love of his life. Less than three years later, it had all gone wrong. How could something that seemed so right in 2013 fail so quickly? As Australia moves into a new and uncertain election, Lee heads out on the campaign trail to see if he, and the government, can discover what went wrong.Double Dissolution is a contemporary campaign narrative that probes upheavals both personal and political. Lee travels Australia, visiting big cities and small towns, travelling interstate highways and dusty backroads, fuelled by bad coffee and the stale air of cheap motels, to connect with candidates and voters. As the people yearn for positive outcomes and the candidates fight for power, Lee searches for answers. If his own fortunes are tied to those of the government, then this might be the most important election of his life.
