The Ex-PM

As our third longest serving Prime Minister, Andrew Dugdale mattered. He dined with presidents and kings, hosted world summits and changed the lives of millions of his fellow Australians. But now he's retired; a not-so-elder statesman with time on his hands to ponder the question - was it all worth it? Not that he's asking of course. No, his inquisitive and over enthusiastic ghostwriter Ellen has an unhelpfully insatiable appetite for the truth.

He won a Federal election on preferences; a knife-edge victory unparalleled in this country's political history. He served the nation with distinction for a period that even his harshest critics describe as 'his only time in office'. He was just the 23rd world leader to co- chair a NATO summit since 1987. He was Australia's 5th most popular Prime Minister - Then he wasn't. But now Ex-PM Andrew Dugdale is a political darling again thanks to his well-received autobiography (documented in series one). Thanks to his renewed fame, Dugdale is called back into the fold to stand for election in the marginal Murray-Darling-Downs electorate. If revenge is a dish best served cold, then grab your tongs, open the chest freezer and start loading up your plate - Ex-PM Andrew Dugdale is back. The dysfunctional Dugdale clan pack up and move into their negatively geared rural sewage farm. Team Dugdale's first media engagement is attending the opening of an indoor beach volleyball court where Andrew finds himself surrounded by scantily clad beauties. His campaign messaging takes a hit when he spikes a ball at an innocent child. Oh, and practising his 'dark arts', Henry has drummed up a mysterious benefactor who has just donated one million dollars to Dugdale's campaign. Nothing fishy here right?
