About This Item
Sydney: Pan Macmillan, 2014. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 291 pp. Mark Latham joined the Labor Party in the late 1970s hoping to improve people's lives through parliamentary service. But 25 years later, the then Opposition Leader ended up disillusioned, as pithily reported in 'The Latham Diaries', which ensured he had burned his political bridges, Latham is free to explore how parliamentary democracy has lost touch with the people it's supposed to represent. As with most institutions at risk, politics has become more tribal, with left- and right-wing fanatics dominating formerly robust, mainstream parties. After the disappointment of the Rudd/Gillard years, Tony Abbott promised to restore trust in Australian politics but, as with most of his promises, it was dispensable. Contains a lengthy report on the unsupported conservative newspaper smear campaign against Julia Gillard as Prime Minister.
