McInnes releases third book

(Wednesday 6 August 2008)

Actor-turned-author William McInnes is set to release his third novel That'd Be Right, a part-memoir, part-modern Australian history.

McInnes brings together highlights of local politics and sport with his own experiences to create a personal, funny history.

"It's basically just the history of a boofhead arsing around," he says. "It should be called The Life and Times of a Boofhead from Queensland."

"We're increasingly relying on sport to define ourselves," he says. "And I think that rise of blokehood is in direct contrast to women being empowered. There seemed to be only a brief flutter of real feminism in the '70s, then it died out as quickly as it started. I still react to women who call themselves chicks and things like that bloody Nando's ad with the stripper. I won't go to Nando's because of that."
