The book that launches campaigns

We've had three more years of:

* secrecy, cover-ups and scandals - think AWB

* laws like WorkChoices eroding people's prosperity

* an unpopular and deceitful war

* blind allegiance to a foolhardy American president

* draconian measures rushed through a hobbled Senate and applied with equal haste - witness the recent Haneef fiasco

* the detention of hundreds of vulnerable people, including children and Australian citizens, and

* above all, none of you listening when Australians say they want job, educational and housing security for themselves and their children, our soldiers out of Iraq - and a smart, fair, forward-looking country that finds new solutions for pressing problems like climate change.

It's all nailed here, in Margo Kingston's updated, election edition of her gutsy, anecdotal bestseller: every reason why John Howard's government doesn't deserve your vote.
