Someone said Bandt was recently seen studying two books while sitting sipping coffee in Lygon St, Carlton.
Most likely he was catching up on some light reading, probably "Das Kapital" and "The Communist Manifesto" but he may've slipped his own PhD thesis in amongst the latter political pamphlet for instructive purposes.
It's well known Bandt doesn't want the unwashed masses to know about the intimate workings of his fancifully gullible mind when he was composing his own naïve Communist tome.

GREENS deputy leader Adam Bandt kept prying eyes from his PhD thesis exploring the theories of Karl Marx by slapping a three-year suppression order on the tome.The former teenage Marxist, who confesses he once described the Greens as "bourgeois", has revealed the stunning conclusion to his 300-page epic is that Marxism did not offer "a proper explanation for what was happening in 21st century society".
He completed the thesis four years ago in 2008, but requested university officials impose a three-year ban on anyone reading it.
Now that the Bandt ban has expired, the Sunday Herald Sun was able to obtain a copy of his thesis from Monash University.
Titled Work to Rule: Rethinking Marx, Pashukanis and Law, it includes chapters on The Fuhrer of the Factory: exploring labour law in the Third Reich and examining theories of "the divine violence of the general strike".
Better Niccolo Machiavelli than Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels methinks.
