Turnbull's Memoir

It's a politics-heavy podcast this week.

The former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has written a memoir about his time in Canberra. He denies that the book is an act of revenge against his former colleagues, but there are many in the Liberal Party who are likely to squirm in anticipation of its release.

Eliza is a big fan of political memoirs. Geraldine is too, but only if they're sufficiently reflective. 

Also this week, Geraldine breaks a habit of a lifetime and begins baking packet-mix cakes.

And Eliza finds joy at Woolworths.
