The Palace Letters is a gripping true courtroom drama. Detailing Jenny Hocking’s long legal battle to uncover letters between between the queen and the governor-general about the 1975 dismissal of prime minister Gough Whitlam, this book tells the story of shocking political betrayal and raises disturbing questions about the role of the Palace in Australian governance.

We are delighted to host an enthralling online conversation with Hocking about the book with Meanjin editor Jonathan Green.
