Thought for Today

 

Right through the ages we find this universal sense of Divine inspiration - this feeling that a wisdom beyond that of man shapes the destiny of States; that the institutions of men are but the imperfect instruments of a Divine and beneficent energy; helping their higher aims. Should not we, sir, grant the prayer of the many petitions that have been presented to us, by recognising at the opening of our great future our dependence upon God?
Delegate John Glynn, South Australia, Constitutional Convention, 1897

Ask a question about this product

To some, this book will be about the execution of a state Premier ... a clash of ideologies ... a spectacular bungle ... the natural end to an unpopular administration ... the betrayal of a friend ... an orchestrated political coup sanctioned by the highest office in the land. But the more important story is how the Labor Party turned on itself, abandoned a leader, and in doing so lost all sense of its purpose - to govern for the good of its citizens - giving priority to politics over policy. It is a story that explains and reveals the Labor politics in Australia today, both nationally and in NSW. It explains the shocking paralysis of government that exists in the country's largest state. It gives colour to the ambitions behind the machine men that now run the country, not just that state. And it gives some insight into the motivations and methods of the (now: former) Prime Minister himself. It is a book about what the Australian Labor Party has become, a Party driven by politics far more than by policy. A Party that speaks of reform, but by its deeds is a shadow of its past under Hawke and Keating.
