Rollercoaster :

unravels the complexity of policy, including all the tricky government stuff
provides a wealth of stories, insights and more from the frontline and behind the scenes to learn about policy and its development

Rollercoaster is the toolkit you need to become a bloody good policy officer.

"This is not a dull how to do policy manual, rather Salli drops in large dollops of wisdom, evidence and experience, guiding and challenging us along the rollercoaster process of policy in its different settings." Dr Maggie Jamieson

"Rollercoaster is a policy bible. The book is written in a way that is accessible to all and includes valuable sections at the end of each chapter with key takeaway messages and calls to action." Dr Lorraine Cherney, Deputy Director Regulatory Practice, ANZSOG
