What if Australia's most notorious Prime Minister kept a diary — and it was exactly as chaotic, clueless, and comically self-serving as you'd imagine? The Scomo Diaries is a razor-sharp satirical chronicle of the Scott Morrison era in Australian politics, as told through the fictional (but disturbingly plausible) inner monologue of the man himself, rendered in biting prose and wickedly illustrated cartoons. Writers Tosh Greenslade and Andrew Weldon capture the bumbling hubris, spin-doctored mishaps, and spectacular political missteps that defined one of the most turbulent periods in recent Australian public life — from Hawaii holidays during bushfire crises to the quiet art of not accepting responsibility for anything. A masterclass in political satire, The Scomo Diaries sits firmly in the grand tradition of lampooning those in power, presenting its target with the kind of gleeful irreverence that only the best Australian wit can muster. Greenslade's sharp textual barbs are perfectly matched by Weldon's expressive, caricature-rich illustrations, creating a work that is as visually entertaining as it is politically astute. For anyone who lived through the Morrison years — or who simply enjoys watching the powerful brought low by their own absurdity — this book asks one lingering question: was it satire, or just the news?
