Description
Each year, The Chaser and The Shovel combine forces to produce an end-of-year Annual, compiling together in one volume all the best satirical news from the year, as well as fresh original content, that makes it the perfect stocking filler for anyone you can't think of a better gift for.
This year, The Chaser and The Shovel chart the choppy waters of news at home and across the globe, delivering searing satirical typos and probing economic puns about tariffs that somehow are both hilariously off-point and eerily accurate.
Why read a serious think-piece about Elon Musk's latest scheme to take over the world, when you can read a funny joke about it instead?
Only The Chaser and Shovel Annual 2025 delivers all the latest, breaking typos alongside photoshopped images of Peter Dutton losing the election.
Features:
- Late Stage Monopoly - a fun new board game about the housing crisis, where Gen Z start with no money and then lose the game even before it begins!
- A complete list of Elon Musk's worst tweets (8,400 page abridged version)
- Cooking with Albo - a guide to cooking 15 different delicious microwave dinners
The book can be read, or if you're Gen Z and can't afford a home, can be converted into a housing shelter, by opening it up and placing it over your head.

About the Author
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".
