Hal Colebatch's new book, Australia's Secret War, tells the shocking, true, but until now largely suppressed and hidden story of the war waged from 1939 to 1945 by a number of key Australian trade unions against their own society and against the men and women of their own country's fighting forces at the time of its gravest peril. His conclusions are based on a broad range of sources, from letters and first-person interviews between the author and ex-servicemen to official and unofficial documents from the archives of World War II. Between 1939 and 1945 virtually every major Australian warship, including at different times its entire force of cruisers, was targeted by strikes, go-slows and sabotage. Australian soldiers operating in New Guinea and the Pacific Islands went without food, radio equipment and munitions, and Australian warships sailed to and from combat zones without ammunition, because of strikes at home. Planned rescue missions for Australian prisoners-of-war in Borneo were abandoned because wharf strikes left rescuers without heavy weapons. Officers had to restrain Australian and American troops from killing striking trade unionists. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ISBN 9780980677874 Author Hal Colebatch

In these stories of the impossible, master of the domestic thriller Sally Emerson introduces the eerie into her keen-eyed portraits of everyday life. A clerk working in a public register office begins to receive death certificates dated in the future, but can she alter fate and save the victims? A woman unable to have children discovers a way of cloning her husband, but is their cloned son destined to repeat the mistakes of his father? A suburban mother is prescribed health supplements with rather amorous side-effects; can she resist their sway and keep her hands off her neighbours? And who exactly are the tempestuous and dangerous warring couple who seem to have been alive forever? Emerson's tales of quotidian life invaded by forces beyond our control are both beguiling and uncanny, and ultimately uplifting as she celebrates the tenuous gap between reality and unreality. Likened to Roald Dahl and Helen Dunmore, with a dash of Shirley Jackson, this is fiction at its finest, a rare blend of fantasy and the literary. Magical, humorous and unfailingly honest in its depiction of humanity, Perfect will stay with the reader long after leaving the twists and turns of its pages. 'So exquisitely drawn, Sally Emerson's stories are full of gripping twists and astute insights into emotional dilemmas. They're uncanny, and quite unlike anything else you'll read' JANE THYNNE 'Emerson's skill is to subvert the humdrum with sinister undercurrents' SUNDAY TIMES 'A writer who excels in portraying the darkness beneath polished surfaces' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'Sally Emerson has a talent for terror of the best kind, she understands obsession and hints chillingly at evil' DAILY TELEGRAPH
