First, her impromptu reply to the bosses has gone viral, published everywhere from Facebook to the \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e. Second, she has a non-refundable, same-day ticket to Melbourne thanks to a dangerous cocktail of Victorian pinot noir, broadband internet and a dash of melancholy.\u003cbr\u003e Landing in Australia, Ruby plans a quiet stay with her aunt in the Yarra Valley-but a party at the local winery results in an unexpected job offer: financial policy adviser to the Federal Leader of the Opposition.\u003cbr\u003e Intrigued, Ruby heads to Melbourne for morning coffee with the Chief of Staff-and finds herself in the middle of the Treasurer's overthrow of the Prime Minister and the announcement of an early election.\u003cbr\u003e Rookie Ruby, dubbed 'Roo' by her Aussie colleagues, is thrown into the campaign and spends four weeks circumnavigating Australia while trying to stay afloat in the deep end of politics. Through trial and plenty of error (including wardrobe malfunctions, media mishaps and a palate for unsavoury men) she finds passion, not just a flair, for her new career.\u003cbr\u003e With its light touch and deft comic instincts, \u003ci\u003eCampaign Ruby\u003c\/i\u003e is a delightful combination of fashion, faux pas, falling for the wrong man and the unexpected fun of federal politics.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48135685144734,"sku":"UBD-9781921758652","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781921758652.jpg?v=1786626853","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781921758652","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
