Book excerpt: YESTERDAY Buraadja provides a powerful account of the Liberal Party's approach to Indigenous affairs. The party's record of successes and failures is frankly evaluated as an important basis for developing effective approaches to persistent problems. TODAY The problems faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today are considered through two contrasting lenses: the extremist lens of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the moderate lens of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. The Uluru Statement is shown to offer a modest approach to addressing problems by recognising Indigenous peoples in the Constitution, making agreements, and coming to terms with Australia's history. TOMORROW Andrew Bragg draws on liberal values to make a compelling case for national reconciliation in Australia. He offers some practical suggestions for remembering our history, listening to Indigenous people, and planning for the future.
Download or read book Broken Heart written by Shireen Morris and published by La Trobe University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 2023, Australians voted 'No' to recognising Indigenous peoples through a constitutional Voice. Broken Heart unpacks the true, complex history of the referendum, illuminating how an alliance between Indigenous advocates and constitutional conservatives fractured under political pressure, and a proposal conceived in compromise was killed by partisan politics. Told from the unique insider perspective of a constitutional lawyer who worked closely with Noel Pearson on the Voice for over a decade, this book analyses the mistakes of the government and 'Yes' advocates, the fickleness and ultimate intransigence of the right, and the betrayals and lies that led to the referendum's defeat. Broken Heart tells a story of hope and tragedy. But its lessons will assist future reformers and leaders who want to make Australia a better place. 'This is the story of a broken heart and of a large one. Shireen Morris has written an indispensable account of the hard way of the constitutional reformer in this country. An enthralling tale of hope, commitment and goodwill, as well as mendacity, opportunism and betrayal.' Frank Bongiorno 'Powerful and moving . . . Broken Heart is an erudite and forensic analysis of a nation-defining political campaign, ultimately destroyed by betrayal and self-interest. It challenges us to learn, reflect and remain energised if we are to become a better, fairer country.' Larissa Behrendt 'Honest and accurate . . . Shireen's analysis of the complex political and legal landscape in the lead-up to the referendum, and the extreme racism suffered by mob across the country, provides all Australians with valuable lessons. A must read.' Dr Dani Linder 'An indispensable account of the 2023 referendum – its genesis, its tortuous political journey and its tragic failure. Marked by fearless analysis and resolute defiance in the face of defeat, this book raises urgent questions for Australia's future.' Mark McKenna 'This is a true story.' Noel Pearson
Book Synopsis Against Public Broadcasting by : Chris Berg
Download or read book Against Public Broadcasting written by Chris Berg and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is a media colossus with a reputation for integrity and quality. It is also a billion-dollar government program that lacks any coherent justification for its existence. Chris Berg and Sinclair Davidson provide a highly readable account of how and why the ABC has come to be in this position. This is the first serious analysis of the rationale for the ABC and its existence in decades. When the ABC was founded in the 1930s the problem was a scarcity of media. Now that we live in a world of media plenty, it is hard to see why the government is still subsidising a media empire. This book provides an outline of how policymakers can dispose of the ABC, while at the same time preserving its value and realising that value for the benefit of taxpayers.

Book excerpt: This new book was written whilst Andrew has been in the Parliament, principally between July 2019 and February 2020. Few understand superannuation well and the industry has revelled in its opacity for 30 years. It is Australia's biggest closed shop. The point of this monograph is to encourage the nation to change direction on super. Not to junk it, but to make it work. Put simply, if it isn't working, why are we doing it? As Australia faces the Coronavirus, it is clear the nation cannot afford indulgences that do not work."

Book Synopsis Aramaic Catholicism, Maronite History and Identity by : Peter J. El Khouri
Download or read book Aramaic Catholicism, Maronite History and Identity written by Peter J. El Khouri and published by Connor Court Publishing Pty Limited. This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extracts from the Conclusions: ...The book also tracks the modern day religious descendants of the first Christian converts -Jews, indigenous Aramaic and Coptic speaking gentiles, and even the Greek (Antiochian/Melkite) colonists living in the Middle East... In the seventh Christian century, tensions between Rome and Constantinople and private treaties between Byzantine emperors and the newly emerged Arab Muslim caliphs suggest how the Middle East's religious make-up, as the world's heartland of Christianity, was to be considerably altered into the future.... The culture of Aramaic Catholics in the medieval period points to many ongoing influences on the architecture, dress and customs of Western Christianity and Islamic society. Examples are provided such as the succession of Maronite popes in Rome, Western hospital emblems, the Muslim hijab and the minaret tower of mosques. Extract from foreword of Professor Carole Cusack, Department of Studies in Religion, The University of Sydney: ..".This book...merits a wide readership ...and has significance and power for Christians around the world. Peter El Khouri deserves commendation for his patient and careful analysis of a far more diverse Christianity than most Australians in the twenty-first century have ever heard of. I am delighted to warmly recommend this book."
Book Synopsis Memoirs of a Cold War Warrior by : Keith Harvey
Download or read book Memoirs of a Cold War Warrior written by Keith Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few inside accounts have been published in Australia written by those who were active in that part of the Cold War which took place inside Australia's social institutions, especially the trade union movement. Most published memoirs have been written by those on the extreme left of the political spectrum or by defectors from the anti-communist movement. In his account, Keith Harvey, an anti-communist student and trade union movement activist describes his involvement in the struggle carried out, he says, by often unsung people with the highest motives.

Book Synopsis The European Union by : Stephen Alomes
Download or read book The European Union written by Stephen Alomes and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union faces many challenges today. The global millennium has brought a polycrisis, from the Global Financial Crisis and the great refugee waves to worsening trade wars, Climate Change and the Covid 19 Global Pandemic of 2020-21. Where does the European Union stand in this maelstrom of change? Is all still well even after seven decades without a major European war and an expansion to 28, except now 27, nations? In The European Union - New Challenges and New Leadership, editors Stephen Alomes, Robert Mezyk and Sang Chul Park and their contributors explore the external pressures and internal tensions of the EU today: Euroscepticism, including the dramatic manifestation, Brexit; the cultural and moral divides expressed in Polish and Hungarian dissidence; Australian comparisons and connections, including trade, refugee policy and political ideology; security and citizen engagement; regional development challenges and ongoing Balkan uncertainties; the EU as the world's largest trading bloc as China and the USA embrace trade duels rather than deals. The authors suggest future possibilities for the European Union even in our 'interesting times', positive results rather than a decline of the West after Toynbee or Spengler.
Book Synopsis Christian Foundations of the Common Law by : Augusto Zimmermann
Download or read book Christian Foundations of the Common Law written by Augusto Zimmermann and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Professor Zimmermann traces how many of our current freedoms within a broad, plural, public square can be attributed to a rich seam of Christian philosophical influence that has evidently infused the development of the common law in different jurisdictions. In my view, this is essential reading for students and scholars alike who seek a fuller appreciation as to the origins of the common law." -- Simon McCrossan LL.M, Barrister, UK Head of Public Policy, Evangelical Alliance UK In this excellent book, Dr Zimmermann carefully lays out for the reader an easily digestible and highly readable account of the Christian roots of the common law in England... His book is a very valuable addition to Australian works on legal history and will assist not only lawyers and law students but all interested readers to better understand why our legal system is as it is. -- Michael Quinlan, Dean and Professor of Law, The University of Notre Dame Australia (Sydney). This book is erudite, informative, well-written and researched and most importantly, it is a timely reminder of the Christian heritage of the Common Law that has served us so well for many centuries." -- Gabriël A. Moens, Emeritus Professor of Law, The University of Queensland. This important book is both a scholarly account of those roots and a warning of the threats the Common Law tradition will face if Western civilization slips its Christian moorings." -- Peter Kurti, Research Fellow, Religion and Civil Society Program. The Centre for Independent Studies (Sydney).

Book Synopsis 'Instincts to Lead' by : Don Markwell
Download or read book 'Instincts to Lead' written by Don Markwell and published by Connor Court Publishing Pty Limited. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In creating the scholarships that bear his name, Cecil Rhodes had two great objectives: the promotion of public-spirited leadership and of harmony between nations. His vision was that these could be achieved by giving life-changing educational opportunities to outstanding young people with 'instincts to lead', and so contributing to a network of people-to-people relations between countries. In this volume, the former global head of the Rhodes Scholarships, Dr Donald Markwell - the first Rhodes Scholar to hold that position - discusses how good leadership can be promoted, drawing on examples of leaders from Nelson Mandela to Margaret Thatcher, as well as other leaders in politics, education, culture, intellectual thought, and more. The vision of Cecil Rhodes to promote international peace through scholarships that would create 'educational relations' between countries is illustrated here through the experience of the German Rhodes Scholarships in the 20th century, and points to the value of scholarships to engage China and other countries in the 21st century. A scholar of international relations, Dr Markwell also discusses other approaches to promoting peace and preventing war. In papers from his experience as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) of the University of Western Australia and as Warden of Rhodes House, Oxford, Dr Markwell discusses the spirit of a university, the value of liberal education, and the importance of collegiate education and of student engagement in the extra-curricular life of a university campus. These are educational values which the Rhodes Scholarships have promoted, and which are important to prepare students well for the challenges of a century of global forces and rapid change.
Book Synopsis Notes From Woketopia by : James Macpherson
Download or read book Notes From Woketopia written by James Macpherson and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-20 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this series of essays James Macpherson lays bare the lunacy of woke culture and exposes the incoherence of identity politics. From virtue signalling public officials to woke sporting organisations; from so-called anti-racists to climate-bedwetters and the transgender phenomena, Macpherson has them all in his sights. He will have you laughing at the insanity of woke culture while making the case that people must be free to speak and react to events as normal people would speak and react if the West is to avoid being transformed into Woketopia, which is no utopia at all. James Macpherson was a News Limited journalist before leading one of Australia's largest churches. He writes regularly for The Spectator.

Book Synopsis The Accidental Prime Minister by : Annika Smethurst
Download or read book The Accidental Prime Minister written by Annika Smethurst and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine months after the spill that catapulted him to the prime ministership, Scott Morrison won the 2019 election, shocking politicians and political pundits (and, quite possibly, himself). Yet, unlike his predecessors, little was really known about the former marketing man whose hard-nosed political instincts and 'daggy dad persona' saw him become the 30th Prime Minister of Australia. Voters knew what he allowed them to see - a policy embrace of slogans like 'Stop the Boats'; his deft rebuttal of media enquiries; his love for Jen and his two daughters; that he liked to cook a curry on Saturday nights; and that his faith and the Cronulla Sharks were a big part of his life. But a man is more than sound bites and social media posts. So who the bloody hell is Scott Morrison? In this revealing biography, political journalist Annika Smethurst uncovers the man behind the headlines and slogans to show us what makes Scott Morrison tick. Taking us from his childhood, as the son of a local policeman, to a meeting that would lead to marriage to his teenage sweetheart, The Accidental PM will tell the personal and the political. There are questions about Morrison's early business career and his preselection that, when answered, will paint a clearer picture of the man leading our country and give greater insight into how he won the 'miracle' election. Whether Morrison's ego and temperament will see him falter in hard times or whether he will use the lessons of his life to end the revolving door of PMs to become one of Australia's best prime ministers is still to be discovered. But knowing the man will allow us all to know the path he will lead us on.

Download or read book Truth-Telling written by Henry Reynolds and published by NewSouth Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we are to take seriously the need for telling the truth about our history, we must start at first principles. What if the sovereignty of the First Nations was recognised by European international law in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? What if the audacious British annexation of a whole continent was not seen as acceptable at the time and the colonial office in Britain understood that 'peaceful settlement' was a fiction? If the 1901 parliament did not have control of the whole continent, particularly the North, by what right could the new nation claim it? The historical record shows that the argument of the Uluru Statement from the Heart is stronger than many people imagine and the centuries-long legal position about British claims to the land far less imposing than it appears. In Truth-Telling, influential historian Henry Reynolds pulls the rug from legal and historical assumptions, with his usual sharp eye and rigour, in a book that's about the present as much as the past. His work shows exactly why our national war memorial must acknowledge the frontier wars, why we must change the date of our national day, and why treaties are important. Most of all, it makes urgently clear that the Uluru Statement is no rhetorical flourish but carries the weight of history and law and gives us a map for the future.
