Jaded and disillusioned about the state of Australian politics?

Macquarie Dictionary has brought together an up-to-date, readers-must of bad behaviours, dodgy practices, audacious insults and other tidbits of interest. A tongue-in-cheek look at how politics can shape our language and be wielded for power and influence.

Dirty Politics: A - Z of trickery, treachery and other tasty treats includes:

- An entertaining insight into the underbelly of Australian politics

- Sledges and slip-ups from our politicians' very own mouths

- 20 years of political candidates from Macquarie's Word of the Year, from bonk ban and broligarchy through to the virtue signalling soy cap intelligentsia

- Real-life citations from Australian publications
