- How to Make Trouble and Influence People
"How To Make Trouble And Influence People" (ISBN 0958554927) was the title of a self-published book from 1996 chronicling the history of political pranks and acts of creative subversion in Australia. The book consists of a series of short paragraphs describing incidents, as well as facsimiles of flyers, posters and graffiti. It also includes an interview with Greg Wadley, author of the zine "Loser".
The incidents detailed in "How To Make Trouble" date from the early colonial days to recent times, and include both explicitly political and non-political pranks. They include industrial disputes in the 1920s, recent environmental and anti-war protests, as well as acts of inspired vandalism and detournement. As such, this book can be said to be a testament to the larrikin tradition of Australia, and its numerous manifestations throughout history.
Two sequels were released, "How To Stop Whining And Start Living" and "Revenge Of The Troublemaker". All of these are attributed to the "Question Mark Collective". It is believed that one of the compilers was Iain McIntyre. Copies of these books may possibly be found in anarchist and countercultural bookshops in Australia.
The book influenced the production of the ABC Radio "Background Briefing" program on "Culture Jamming: How To Make Trouble And Influence People", broadcast in 1998 [" [http://abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/stories/s19071.htm Culture Jamming: How To Make Trouble And Influence People] " ABC Radio Background Briefing first broadcast Sunday 18 October 1998.
