Lies and Falsehoods: The Morrison Government and The New Culture of
Deceit by well-known political journalist Bernard Keane combines
Crikey's eye-opening dossier of Scott Morrison's documented lies
with Keane's insightful take on why deceivers dominate in the new
era of politics. This book is the first in The Crikey Read series
by Crikey and Hardie Grant Books. All politicians lie. They twist
the truth, exaggerate and spin. But blatant lying has now become a
standard part of political discourse, led by Donald Trump and
carried on by Boris Johnson and Scott Morrison. Combine this with
an all-out assault on the truth in public debate along with the
biggest communications revolution since the printing press, and you
have a disaster in real time: a sea of fake news,
hyper-partisanship and polarisation. No society or democracy can
function without trust, and the consequences of this profound shift
are clear. The first step to a remedy is in understanding both the
liars and the environments in which they lie. Lies and Falsehoods
does exactly that, in this highly readable and incisive account of
how we found ourselves in this fractured post-truth world, and how
we might get out. From Crikey and Hardie Grant Books, The Crikey
Read is a series that brings an unflinching and truly independent
eye to the issues of the day in Australia and the world.
