Part 1: Annika investigates The Accidental Prime Minister

Annika Smethurst’s new book on Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been released. Annika is a Briefing co-host and Walkley-award winning journalist.

Tom sits down with Annika to take a deep dive into what motivates Scott Morrison, the man Annika has dubbed ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’.

This is a fascinating discussion about the Scott Morrison’s rise to the highest office in the land. We learn about his childhood and what he was like at school. Did his friends see him as a future PM – and how did he chart his pathway to the Lodge? And what is the one skill he shares with Bill Clinton?
