A landmark work in Australian political memoir, Keep the Bastards Honest chronicles the remarkable life and career of Don Chipp, the charismatic founder of the Australian Democrats, whose rallying cry became one of the most iconic phrases in the nation's political history. With candour and conviction, Chipp details his journey from Liberal Party minister to the architect of a third-force political movement dedicated to holding the major parties accountable in the Senate. The narrative presents a vivid portrait of Australian parliamentary democracy from the inside, unmasking the compromises, power plays, and ideological battles that define the political arena. Written with wit and an unmistakable passion for democratic principles, it argues compellingly for the vital role of independent voices in keeping government transparent and honest. Essential reading for anyone interested in Australian politics, this memoir stands as both a personal testament and a broader call to civic engagement.
