On the Loose

A funny and charming account of life after politics by the retired Labor senator. Button writes hilariously about everything under the sun, from Christmas shopping to minding the dog, from the rights of smokers to the joys of jogging—and muses on the republican debate, political correctness and parliamentary language.
