Hardcover

Whatever It Takes is a candid and compelling biography by Graham Richardson, one of the Australian Labor Party’s most influential political figures. Written in a direct and conversational style, Richardson recounts his life in politics with honesty, humour and insight, offering a behind-the-scenes look at power, strategy and the realities of political life.

From his early years in the Labor Party and the turbulent Whitlam era through to the Keating–Hawke years, Richardson shares an insider’s perspective on the personalities, alliances and political manoeuvring that shaped modern Australian politics. Filled with personal stories, successes, mistakes and observations, the book reveals the people behind the political masks.

Richardson reflects on the lessons that guided his career—loyalty, political pragmatism and the exercise of influence—as he rose from branch member to Cabinet and became one of the Labor Party’s key powerbrokers. More than a political memoir, Whatever It Takes is a story of ambition, friendship, public life and the accumulation of power.
