Trump's Australia

How Trumpism changed Australia and the shocking consequences for us of a second term

By: Bruce Wolpe

Trump could well win the 2024 US presidential election, and if he does, American democracy as we have known it will probably come to an end. Australia's best-informed commentator on US politics sends a chilling warning about the implications for Australia. What if Trump becomes US president again? Leading expert and US and Australian politics insider Bruce Wolpe reveals the many ways in which Australia was damaged by Donald Trump's presidency. Seeping into Australia from above and below, Trumpism contaminated public debate, emboldened local political and religious extremists, diminished Australia's economy and international relations—and much more. Wolpe predicts America's democracy won't survive a second Trump term. The implications for the world and for Australia are shocking. He explains how Australia can draw on its strengths to protect its democracy, economy and society from Trumpism, and where Australia is vulnerable and needs to build guardrails. He warns Australia might also face an existential question about ties with its most important ally. 'True, timely and terrifying' - Sean Kelly, author of The Game 'A timely warning and a potential survival guide' - John Barron, co-host of Planet America 'A forensic analysis of how President Donald Trump invaded Australia's politics and prospects' - Laura Tingle, ABC TV 'A must read for anyone who cares about Australian democracy' - Zoe Daniel, Independent MP for Goldstein 'This is a book you should read' - Natalie Barr, co-host of Sunrise Trump's Australia was longlisted for the Australian Political Book of the Year Award 2023.

The Committee

A Study of Policy, Power, Politics and Obama’s Historic Legislative Agenda on Capitol Hill

By: Bryan William Marshall,Bruce C. Wolpe

For three years while serving as a senior adviser to Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-CA), chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce—one of the most powerful committees in Congress—Bruce C. Wolpe kept a diary, a senior staffer’s look at how committees develop and promote legislation. With its insider’s view of the rough-and-tumble politics of cap-and-trade, healthcare reform, tobacco, oversight, and the debt ceiling agreement, The Committee uniquely melds the art of politics and policymaking with the theory and literature of political science. The authors engage with the important questions that political science asks about committee power, partisanship, and the strategies used to build winning policy coalitions both in the Committee and on the floor of the House. In this new edition, the authors revisit the relationship between the executive and Congress in the wake of the sweeping changes wrought by the Trump administration, as well as thoughts about how that relationship will change again as President Biden faces a 117th Congress that is strikingly similar to Obama’s 111th. The insider politics and strategies about moving legislation in Congress, from internal and external coalition building to a chairman’s role in framing policy narratives, will captivate both novice and die-hard readers of politics.
