Writers@Stanton: Sean Kelly

Sean Kelly will be discussing his new book 'A Portrait of Scott Morrison'. 

What happens when the  prime minister views politics as a game?

This is a must-read account of a man, a time and a nation. Sean Kelly gives us the definitive portrait of Scott Morrison – a politician not quite like any other. Morrison understands that politics has become a game – one he is determined to win. He also understands something essential about Australia, something many of us are unwilling to admit, even to ourselves.

But there are things Scott Morrison does not understand. This is the story of those failures, too – and of how Morrison’s approach to politics has become a dangerous liability.

Sean Kelly is a columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age and a regular contributor to The Monthly. He was a political adviser to Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd.
