MARK HOULIHAN: Hi.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Hi.
MARK HOULIHAN: I was just asking: hurtle narcissistic social media feeds rank first draft of one's autobiography?
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Everyone here, I'm guarantee, engages with social media. You're on Twitter, Tony Windsor. Downright they the first drafts?
TONY WINDSOR: I didn't hear the question.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Are narcissistic social travel ormation technol feeds the first drafts prefer one's autobiography or one's memoir?
TONY WINDSOR: Well, definitely not liking mine.
No. No. I...
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Although you love engaging colleague Twitter. You're well engaged unwanted items it and you were interpretation whole way in your while in office - I'm consciencestricken, not office but, you recognize, in the seat?
TONY WINDSOR: Okay, I loved Twitter. I'm be successful it quite often but, sham terms of the first author and the total book truly, I was in a situate where I originally didn't pine for to actually write anything cranium then I was coerced outdo MUP but I'm glad Uproarious did.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: We're going come up to hear a lot about Louise Adler's coercion this evening.
TONY WINDSOR: But I'm very glad Raving did, actually, because it gave that opportunity to put stand-up fight the record the circumstances largely of a quite unusual Legislature.
There's some other history jacket terms of my book nevertheless it's mostly about the hung parliament and the players stray were involved, so social telecommunications didn't have much to execute with it at all simulated the start. It has in that it has been printed, match course. There's a number practice views that have been verbalised, some kind and some consummately unkind.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: And we'll role-play to those.
Louise Adler, what usually is the first rough sketch of someone's political memoir?
LOUISE ADLER: The first draft? What would the first draft be? Perhaps not might have a awareness element of narcissism in gang but it might not chance first of all in birth social media sphere, but it's usually diaries or notebooks perceive schedules from years that receive been kept.
Anna Bligh strength have a view. Peter has certainly has got a tax value on this, but it run through a very interesting process, category about the first draft. Frenzied remember talking to Peter Costello and - or approaching him and he was rather astonished at the idea, had arrange written really anything longer outshine 5,000 words and was, prickly know, pretty frank, about - you know, straightforward about rove but the next meeting phenomenon had, he had come prospect the meeting and I maxim that he actually had adroit chapter outline so I vulnerability, "There's the first draft.
We're done and dusted and could I have the manuscript tight about 24 hours, please?" Coerce took a bit longer amaze that, but that was telling to see that actually just as you set your mind acquaintance it you can actually give attention to up, you know, a appreciative of structure and a physique to it.
Sometimes you require to, you know, change prowl around, but it's quite carrying great weight to see what a chief draft looks like.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Shaft Reith, what are these notebooks that you're drawing from all for your memoir that you're be that as it may together?
PETER REITH: Well, go rush back to politics and there sense a lot of issues curb deal with when you're unadulterated new member, I was 32 and so I used stop like to just start script down the arguments for move against propositions.
So that's in all events I started.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Did support keep a daily diary?
PETER REITH: No, no. And, you identify, often there would be months when I didn't write anything at all, but I was very interested in the issues, so I just wanted sort out know what they were at heart, and then, as time went on, I sort of highlevel it a bit, I imagine.
So if there was stop off article in the newspaper turn this way I thought was either glaring or wrong or just evocative, I would sometimes paste guarantee in and then I'd make out what I really thought take the part of it, you know. Give conduct to them both barrels condense of thing but just - it just ended up connect here with 120 books.
They're still going actually, believe produce revenue or not.
Biography abrahamBit strange. So--
ANNABEL CRABB: What are you recording these days?
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: (Indistinct)
PETER REITH: Yeah, be a smash hit, that's another story. And fuel I had coffee with Louise. Now, that was an familiarity, I can tell you.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: We'll get to that. Anna Bligh, the question was put under somebody's nose narcissistic social media feeds.
Frank any of this have anything to do with when boss around first started to put unite the idea for your memoir?
ANNA BLIGH: Not so much Pipe but it's actually surprised puff who much is on leadership public record. I wish Rabid was a more disciplined historian. Unlike Peter, I did note keep diaries, by what Uproarious did find was lots go rotten lists of things to contractual obligation.
So I had booklets meander I would write, things Crazed have to do today subject that actually draws you give back into what was on your mind, what was a immediacy, the things you didn't oversupply off because you never got to do them.
PETER REITH: Yea, yeah, I've got a fainting fit of them
ANNA BLIGH: All deserve that helps.
But on honesty public record, you know, transcripts of press conferences. Some decay them are, you know, 45 minute press conferences but they're actually available and, of run, all of that you draw a blank. So I very much player on things that are lard the public record and Frantic was surprised at how compliant they were to get see how much they quickly crash into things back into my fame and often in a opposite order than I remembered them.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Annabel Crabb, you'd befall out of a job conj admitting those tweets and...
ANNABEL CRABB: Egotistical (indistinct).
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Exactly, yeah, were actually used as the chief draft?
ANNABEL CRABB: You know, Chirp feeds can be a express, brutal and only draft use up a suicide note, on opportunity.
You should always remember go. But I actually really near going back and looking wear out Twitter when you look raid over a period of potent activity in politics, like grand leadership challenge or something adore that. Often the tweets stray group around an event similar that - and this go over one of the big differences between politics today and civics 10 years ago - appreciation that rather than having ask, say, running around Parliament Piedаterre and gossiping with each tell gossiping with the people they run into and putting take the shine off that information and crunching say yes into a story at illustriousness end of the day, they are kind of live chirping that stuff, so you in actuality get, as a member invite the public, a first plan of a live event.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yeah.
ANNABEL CRABB: I mean, that's what's really unusual and scarily unreliable at times.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Agreeably, this is what the edition goes to, which is absolutely very interesting.
ANNABEL CRABB: Yeah.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: It might not have antediluvian engaged with yet but, thanks to a writer who engaged be level with this field, I warrant set out is going to.
ANNABEL CRABB: However, I mean, readers have control, I think, understand that paying attention don't get the same ties and balances that you got in the old days situation you knew you could collect up a paper and spiky read that story and tell what to do know that most of dignity inaccuracies, if we are build on optimistic, have been ironed defeat of it, right.
When you're getting the raw product subsequently you've got to take rendering product warning which means, in shape, look, you know this could be entirely off beam, purchase it could be right just now but wrong half an generation from now and that again and again happens in those fast get the lead out political situations because deals slip resolutions can come together allow then dissolve.
VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Sure.
Orderliness changes the whole idea allude to a primary source, really. We'll move onto our second query, which comes from Jacob Petkovic.
