Ruth Richmond’s illustrated memoir, The Stench In This Parliament, pulls back the curtain on Australian political life through the eyes of whistle-blower John Hatton. This 2009 Australian edition, signed by the author, is a sought-after true-crime biography for readers curious about political history and reform.

The 267-page paperback blends autobiography with sharp political commentary, charting Hatton’s battles against corruption in New South Wales. Richmond’s accessible narrative style makes complex government dealings feel immediate, giving young adults and adults alike a front-row seat to real-life parliamentary drama.

Inside, occasional page-edge marks are the only sign of use; the book remains crisp, tight, and free of smoke or library stamps. The author’s signature on the title page adds collectible value for fans of Australian history and political theory.

A unique window into Australia’s recent past, this signed copy is ready to inform, provoke, and inspire the next generation of engaged citizens.
