From the back of the book:
Paul Lyneham, one of the finest journalists of his generation, was an acerbic political commentator with an unerring talent for puncturing the inflated rhetoric of Australia's parliamentarians and other political figures.

He was also a passionate Australian nationalist, a brilliant showman who loved making people laugh, a talented rock musician (whose early band The Orgasms was with the passing of time superseded by Pacemaker and the Gerries), a dedicated larrikan and a proud and loving husband and father.

Novelist and short story writer Dorothy Horsfield, married to Paul Lyneham for twenty-six years, has drawn on recollections of his family, friends and colleagues to compile this celebration of his life. There are also extracts from some of Lyneham's most incisive speeches as well as his own unpublished memoir charting his childhood on Melbourne's outskirts - complete with Hermie the Hermit and his pet python - and his raunchy university days.
