MacCallum, whose decades-long career placed him at the heart of Australian politics, chronicles his journey from the margins of power to the centre of the national conversation, tracing the personalities, scandals, and seismic shifts that defined a generation of Australian public life.\n\nWritten with the sharp wit and irreverent clarity that made MacCallum a beloved commentator, this retrospective presents a portrait of a country in constant flux, seen through the eyes of a man who always asked the inconvenient questions. His prose is deceptively relaxed, yet beneath its larrikin charm lies a penetrating intelligence that illuminates the absurdities and occasional glories of democracy at work. For anyone who has ever wondered what really went on behind the closed doors of Canberra, Plankton's Luck offers a rare and irresistible insider's view.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130866376923,"sku":"2026200011683-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3112dfa4-d8e3-4957-99b5-b061b863ec37.png?v=1786591499","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011683-secondhand-planktons-luck-a-life-in-retrospect","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
