In order to avoid a climate crisis, which never seems to arrive, activists and state governments are about to plunge us all into a very real power crisis. In ten years don't bother...

Australian Biographical Monographs, No. 18. Dame Annabelle has been overlooked for too long. As Minister for Housing in the Holt and Gorton Governments, she was the first woman with responsibility for a federal government department and as High Commissioner to New Zealand was the first woman to head an Australian diplomatic post. She was, too, the first female whip in the Australian Parliament. -- From the Foreword Peter Sekuless brings D...

In this new world of Covid prohibitions, there was little appetite for a measured approach. The political risk of criticism for an inadequate response was simply too great. My view was that the precautionary approach justified going hard early, but once the science was available, we had to start being guided by it, rather than by fear or political self-preservation. State Governments as service providers didn't have a dog in the fight. It was ...

This new edited volume has been developed because governments in Australia and overseas continue to appoint public inquiries in considerable numbers. Public inquiries are those temporary, ad hoc bodies appointed by executive government to report on corruption, calamitous events and many different policy issues. Using Australian and international case studies, this new volume explores why royal commissions and public inquiries are appointed, th...

In the course of our life we take lots of exams and, in general, they are quite important. But even if we fail to pass, it often doesn't make much difference. It isn't the end of the world. But there is one exam we are all going to take that is the end of the world - for us, at least. That exam is the examination of our life before God in the judgment when we die, our final exam and the most important one we will ever take. We cannot afford to...

In the Catholic faith God calls each one of us to do something for him. We are all called to fulfill a purpose and a task in our lives. Many Australians no longer consider or reflect on these 'vocational' questions. Yet in a world of personal chaos, disruption and breakdown they remain a central component of making a life, particularly one directed at the service of others. Fulfilling her calling with honour, integrity and gratefulness is what...

This book outlines the main features of political literature in modern times from Dostoevsky to Saul Bellow. It compares political literature from the USA and Western Europe with that from Russia and Eastern Europe. In comparing them, we must keep in mind Dan Jacobsen's warning in The London Review of Books: First, how foolish and dangerous it is, in thinking out the nature of the Soviet system, to minimize the difference between our experienc...

Some of these reasons are legal, political and constitutional, but others express concern that constitutional amendment will do nothing to address the social disadvantage endured by many Indigenous Australians - a burden which weighs h...

Especially prepared to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Whitlam Government's election, this volume, based on new sources of information and with the benefit of hindsight, reappraises its achievements, failu...

The Governor-General of Australia is not a mere figurehead. Governors-General possess real power which is given to them by the Constitution. It is intended that these 'reserve' powers should be used only very rarely. One of these is the power to withdraw the commission of a Prime Minister, and this was invoked in 1975 by Governor-General Sir John Kerr to resolve an intractable political impasse. As a result of his actions, Kerr has been vilifi...

The World's growing population and affluence requires exponential growth in mineral production. Add the political decisions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the change to electric vehicles and the drive to produce so-called renewable energy, and now the likelihood of long-term decreased availability of mined product from the Ukraine and Russia: the mining industry is tasked with a huge burden. And much new production will need to come from ...
