Publishers Description: Kingmaker… Powerbroker… Senator for Kneecaps…For almost twenty years, Graham Richardson was one of the most powerful figures in the Australian Labor Party. His legacy still shakes the party to this day. From back rooms to boardrooms, Richardson held levers that drove the cogs of the ALP machine: if there was a deal to be made, Graham Richardson was The Fixer.Richardsons rise to power in the right wing of the NSW Labor Party was marked by explosions of violence and bitterness, won him rare political influence and at times brought his career to the brink of disaster. Here is the truth behind the bashing of Labor MP Peter Baldwin, the making and breaking of Bob Hawke PM, the Love Boat incident, the Gold Coast prostitution scandals, and the Marshall Islands affair.Walkley Award-winning journalist Marian Wilkinson delivers a profound and stunning exposé of the life and times of one man and a party bent on power.
