About this listen

 All aboard the Scomo Express as our hero pulls back the lid on the life and times of one of history's great leaders and humbly serves up �a steaming meat pie of everyman wisdom for the hungering masses. These are the unofficial chronicles of Scotty's first 18 months in his new role as head honcho of the largest marketing firm in the country - the Australian Federal Government - as it unfolded, completely devoid of any self-aggrandisement, double-speak, sleight-of-hand or other dirty shenanigans played by the Opposition.

Thrill as the man who put the Scotty into Marketing tells how he honed his Sharkies lovin', beer drinkin', God fearin', cap wearin', Daggy Dad alter ego and used it to such miraculous effect. Marvel at how he developed such classic slogans as 'The Bill Australia can't afford', 'I'm listening. I'm hearing. I'm doing', and the immortal 'If you have a go, you'll get a go'.

Like an egg to the back of your head, you will be blindsided by the rush of adrenaline as the Boy from Bronte waltzes from the boardroom to the world stage, becoming besties with The Donald, all while keeping the Lucky Country lucky, the Newspolls honest and the Prince of Darkness from reanimating himself in the form of backstabbing Coalition aspirants. From the inner-workings of BORDERFORCE!T, to what really happened at the Engadine Maccas, this candid, compelling and completely unofficial diary is your backdoor access to the halls of power. With all that sweat, blood and cheers, who wouldn't deserve a tropical holiday? Performing Arts Stand-up Shows Comedy Funny

Hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I know it is satire but I suspect ScoMo really is the self absorbed "Scotty from marketing" described

Brilliant

This is the result of the wonderful creative talents of Gleenslade and Gleenslade. How good is that!!?? This was so enjoyable, with Francis Greenslade's narration perfect for Scomo - I often forget it wasn't the PM himself. The way the diary is written is so believeable and funny, but sadly many of the anecdotes are true, just told from Scomo's own skewed perspective. The diary is the first 18 month's of Scomo's "reign" including the May 2019 Federal election. We are currently in another May election campaign where Scomo is using his charm and marketing skills to work at being re-elected as PM, so it felt like I had Scomo in my ear narrating what I am currently hearing on the news. It was all a bit too close to the sad reality.

I laughed and laughed....and then cried!!

I basically loved everything about this book. It made me laugh out loud several times and the narration was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

This is the best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long time
