REVIEW: New book explores never-ending Chamberlain saga

Abstract

Feral Media: The Chamberlain Case 40 years On, by Belinda Middleweek. Melbourne: Australian Scholarly, 2021. 188 pages. ISBN 9781922454454. I HAVE only seen the Rock once and that was on a junket with TAA, flying a bunch of journos from a week in Perth back to Townsville via the Alice and Darwin. Our 727 circled in a banking turn over the big red monolith to give us all a good look. I never had the slightest desire to get any closer. Like anybody working and travelling in the North I knew what the bush was like—bloody hot and full of things that can kill you. The desert was even worse.
