Earthquake: Niki Savva's compelling columns from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, along with an insightful analysis of Australia's historic 2025 election.

Labor's landslide victory on 3 May 2025 sent shockwaves through the political arena, causing chaos, upheaval, and division within the Coalition. The defeat pushed the Liberal Party to the brink and elevated Anthony Albanese to hero status.

The overturning of the Coalition government in 2022 was initially seen as a rejection of Scott Morrison, but tensions within the party mounted after Peter Dutton's actions regarding the Indigenous Voice referendum. Savva, however, saw a different narrative unfolding: the rise of the teal independents, the missed opportunities of the Coalition, and the crumbling foundation of the once powerful party.

In her incisive columns, Savva captured the evolving political landscape with her unparalleled insight and foresight. Drawing from her access to key players and insiders, she delves into the behind-the-scenes machinations that shaped the election and reshaped Australian politics.

Following her acclaimed works like So Greek, The Road to Ruin, Plots and Prayers, and Bulldozed, Savva's latest offering provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of a seismic shift in Australian democracy.
