“This is a difficult piece to write. It cuts closer to the bone than most of what I have written; closer to my bones, through my blood and flesh to the bones of truth and country; there is truth here, not disguised but in the open and that truth hurts.”

In Lies, Damned Lies, acclaimed author and proud Noongar woman Claire G. Coleman explores the past, present, and future of Australia. Powerfully personal and bitingly political, it offers a keen insight into the ongoing trauma of colonisation in Australia.
