From an original member of The Chaser newspaper comes The Final Edition - a satirical newspaper-style book in the tradition of The Onion and Private Eye annuals, packed with perennial headlines that could have run last week, last century, or next year, exposing how absurdly cyclical the news - and the world - really is.

From one of the early members of The Chaser newspaper comes The Final Edition - a satirical newspaper-style book that starts from the premise that most of the news stories breaking this week could in fact have been published several decades ago and will still ring true decades from now. From ""Superpower now opposed to armed group in war-torn country it previously armed"" to ""Billionaire mounts pointless vanity project in space"" and ""Local authorities unprepared for seasonal change that occurs every year"", this book is filled with stories that feel ripped from today's headlines, yesterday's front page, and next year's news cycle all at once.

Presented to look like a newspaper (remember those?), it is a perfect Christmas gift for readers who appreciate sharp, intelligent satire (The Onion, The Chaser, Private Eye, The Betoota Advocate) as well as news junkies and political watchers who have grown fatigued by the pace and breathlessness of the ever-urgent news agenda. The stories in The Final Edition will never date, because the absurdity they capture never really goes away.

The Chaser is an Australian satirical comedy team. They are known for their television programmes on ABC TV, including The Election Chaser, CNNNN, The Chaser's War on Everything and The Chaser's Media Circus. They are famous for several high profile stunts over the years, including printing the personal phone number of then Prime Minister John Howard on the front cover of their newspaper, and dressing up as Osama bin Laden outside US President George W. Bush's hotel during the 2007 APEC Summit in Sydney. The team started as a satirical newspaper, a publication known to challenge conventions of taste. The Chaser's motto is ""Striving for Mediocrity in a World of Excellence"".
