On Reckoning
On Reckoning | Amy Remeikis
2 posts | 1 read
What happens when the usual political tactics of deflect and dodge are no longer enough? A reckoning. The Guardian's political reporter Amy Remeikis has spoken before about being a survivor of sexual assault, but Brittany Higgins going public with her story ripped the curtain back not just on political attempts to deal with real-world issues, but also how unsafe women can be, even inside the most protected building in the country. Amy didn't expect to see political leaders fumble the moment so completely. And what followed was people taking back the conversation from the politicians. On Reckoning is a searing account of Amy's personal and professional rage, taking you inside the parliament - and out - during one of the most confronting and uncomfortable conversations in recent memory.

I saw Amy speak at the Perth Writers Festival last weekend & just had to get myself a copy of this book; really just a long essay, written following a sexual assault allegation by a federal government staffer. Australians on here know the one I‘m talking about. Our Prime Minister made some dopey, insensitive comments about the allegations. His response led to Amy experiencing “incandescent rage” and this little book was the result. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Our coffee table reading pile has some serious Australian political commentary on it at the moment!!
Bulldozed by Niki Savva- if you didn‘t dislike and distrust our last PM you will after reading this!!🤬
On Reckoning -sexual assault rage and survival by a journalist I admire
Barrenjoey Road - historical crime that still resonates,
and some wonderfully perceptive political cartoons taken from our newspapers ❤️
