Other books by the author (overviews on-line)

The Queensland Independent Newspaper, published by the Department of Journalism at the University of Queensland, extract from article headed 'Study in media power an essential Australian text':
"He (Balson) has done this brilliantly. The level of research that has gone into producing this book is what makes it. Far from just crying wolf, Scott Balson has gone through the village with photographs. His views are supported, his assertions are researched, and so his attacks are grounded."

Enemy of the State: a remarkable personal record of the corrupt elite system in Queensland involving the mainstream media and the state government. A system which orchestrated Balson's arrest - the author defending himself in court before being acquitted.
Inside One Nation: Balson exposes the party that he once defended so dearly. He, like so many others, was deceived for years by the directors in the political party.
