I suppose I must be the only person in Australia who has read, re-read and underlined Niki Savva’s The Road to Ruin in the hope that there is something in it other than porno politics. (There is, but more of that later). But my first conclusion from a close study of the text is that it is a complete fantasy to suggest that this is an account by a host of courageous staffers who were not afraid to be named and quoted, in the overwhelming public interest of getting rid of Tony Abbott.
