Chipp by Don Chipp (First Edition)
Autobiography of the former Federal Liberal Member of Parliament and Leader of the House in the McMahon Government who founded the Australian Democrats in 1977.
This volume is an account of Chipp's last ten years as a politician -- a time of political turmoil and personal pain and triumph. It takes up where his The Third Man finished.
Don Chipp - rebel, reformer, individual and idealist - served in the Australian Parliament for 25 years. An insider with successive liberal governments from Menzies to Fraser in 1977 he broke away and formed his own party The Democrats.
