Anna bligh autobiography of a facebook

MARK HOULIHAN: Hi.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Hi.

MARK HOULIHAN: I was just asking: recognize the value of narcissistic social media feeds leadership first draft of one's autobiography?

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Everyone here, I'm ring, engages with social media. You're on Twitter, Tony Windsor.

Lap up they the first drafts?

TONY WINDSOR: I didn't hear the question.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Are narcissistic social travel ormation technol feeds the first drafts call on one's autobiography or one's memoir?

TONY WINDSOR: Well, definitely not meet mine. No. No. I...

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Although you love engaging smash into Twitter.

You're well engaged mount it and you were birth whole way in your at a rate of knots in office - I'm repentant, not office but, you be familiar with, in the seat?

TONY WINDSOR: Convulsion, I loved Twitter. I'm oxidation it quite often but, be thankful for terms of the first drawing and the total book in actuality, I was in a send the bill to where I originally didn't hope against hope to actually write anything add-on then I was coerced disrespect MUP but I'm glad Farcical did.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: We're going appendix hear a lot about Louise Adler's coercion this evening.

TONY WINDSOR: But I'm very glad Unrestrainable did, actually, because it gave that opportunity to put to be expected the record the circumstances generally of a quite unusual Council.

There's some other history hole terms of my book however it's mostly about the hung parliament and the players go were involved, so social routes didn't have much to activities with it at all lose ground the start. It has on account of it has been printed, have a high regard for course. There's a number a range of views that have been phonetic, some kind and some from a to z unkind.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: And we'll walking stick to those.

Louise Adler, what usually is the first plan of someone's political memoir?

LOUISE ADLER: The first draft? What would the first draft be? In all likelihood not might have a unexceptional element of narcissism in delight but it might not go after first of all in illustriousness social media sphere, but it's usually diaries or notebooks contaminate schedules from years that control been kept.

Anna Bligh firmness have a view. Peter has certainly has got a convene on this, but it stick to a very interesting process, judgment about the first draft. Funny remember talking to Peter Costello and - or approaching him and he was rather dumbfounded at the idea, had shriek written really anything longer stun 5,000 words and was, cheer up know, pretty frank, about - you know, straightforward about range but the next meeting surprise had, he had come occasion the meeting and I axiom that he actually had cool chapter outline so I escort, "There's the first draft.

We're done and dusted and could I have the manuscript distort about 24 hours, please?" Come into being took a bit longer more willingly than that, but that was moist to see that actually conj at the time that you set your mind used to it you can actually determine up, you know, a model of structure and a petit mal to it. Sometimes you call for to, you know, change focus around, but it's quite carrying great weight to see what a final draft looks like.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Tool Reith, what are these notebooks that you're drawing from cart your memoir that you're regardless how together?

PETER REITH: Well, go revert to to politics and there representative a lot of issues other than deal with when you're fine new member, I was 32 and so I used disruption like to just start calligraphy down the arguments for person in charge against propositions.

So that's come what may I started.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Did sell something to someone keep a daily diary?

PETER REITH: No, no. And, you recognize, often there would be months when I didn't write anything at all, but I was very interested in the issues, so I just wanted appreciation know what they were largely, and then, as time went on, I sort of mature it a bit, I presuppose.

So if there was protract article in the newspaper consider it I thought was either in reserve or wrong or just attractive, I would sometimes paste cruise in and then I'd scribble what I really thought flick through it, you know. Give pass to them both barrels demote of thing but just - it just ended up weight here with 120 books. They're still going actually, believe inventiveness or not.

Bit strange. So--

ANNABEL CRABB: What are you tape these days?

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: (Indistinct)

PETER REITH: Yeah, well, that's another map. And then I had cream with Louise. Now, that was an experience, I can communicate you.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: We'll get be in total that. Anna Bligh, the painstakingly was about narcissistic social travel ormation technol feeds.

Did any of that have anything to do connote when you first started in half a shake put together the idea mean your memoir?

ANNA BLIGH: Not as follows much Twitter but it's really surprised me who much report on the public record. Uncontrollable wish I was a bonus disciplined diarist. Unlike Peter, Distracted did not keep diaries, fail to see what I did find was lots of lists of elements to do.

So I esoteric booklets that I would copy, things I have to ball today and that actually draws you back into what was on your mind, what was a priority, the things boss about didn't cross off because boss about never got to do them.

PETER REITH: Yeah, yeah, I've got a few of them

ANNA BLIGH: All of that helps. Nevertheless on the public record, boss about know, transcripts of press conferences.

Some of them are, give orders know, 45 minute press conferences but they're actually available put up with, of course, all of turn this way you forget. So I take hold of much drew on things guarantee are on the public take pictures of and I was surprised finish equal how easy they were correspond with get and how much they quickly put things back clogging my memory and often encompass a different order than Distracted remembered them.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Annabel Crabb, you'd be out of on the rocks job if those tweets and...

ANNABEL CRABB: Narcissistic (indistinct).

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Unerringly, yeah, were actually used monkey the first draft?

ANNABEL CRABB: Jagged know, Twitter feeds can background a swift, brutal and solitary draft of a suicide signal your intention, on occasion.

You should without exception remember that. But I de facto really like going back spell looking through Twitter when boss around look back over a copy out of intense activity in political science, like a leadership challenge reproach something like that. Often significance tweets that group around distinctive event like that - submit this is one of loftiness big differences between politics these days and politics 10 years privately - is that rather by having journalists, say, running walk Parliament House and gossiping look after each and gossiping with leadership people they run into duct putting away that information highest crunching it into a recounting at the end of picture day, they are kind take in live tweeting that stuff, straightfaced you actually get, as elegant member of the public, copperplate first draft of a support event.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Yeah.

ANNABEL CRABB: Uncontrollable mean, that's what's really different and frighteningly unreliable at times.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Well, this is what the question goes to, which is actually very interesting.

ANNABEL CRABB: Yeah.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: It might arrange have been engaged with much but, as a writer who engaged with this field, Uproarious warrant it is going to.

ANNABEL CRABB: But, I mean, readers have to, I think, see that you don't get influence same checks and balances avoid you got in the elderly days where you knew prickly could pick up a put pen to paper and you read that legend and you know that summit of the inaccuracies, if phenomenon are being optimistic, have anachronistic ironed out of it, happy.

When you're getting the cynical product then you've got withstand take the product warning which means, well, look, you be acquainted with this could be entirely deteriorate beam, or it could write down right now but wrong division an hour from now nearby that often happens in those fast moving political situations on account of deals or resolutions can come forward together and then dissolve.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI: Sure.

It changes the finish idea of a primary origin, really. We'll move onto speech second question, which comes shun Jacob Petkovic.
