Ramirez Martinez, Akos Balogh"The message of this book is that everyone has a duty to oppose cancel culture which is dividing society and fomenting mistrust. The Gospel's instruction is clear: 'Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbour'."Nick Cater, Executive Director, The Menzies Research Centre"The prevalence of cancel culture is a sign that we've devolved from a Western liberal democracy to a woke mob 'democracy' where two Marxist wolves and the conservative lamb vote on what's for lunch. It's high time for the lambs to become lions and fight back. Greg Bondar's book is a great start."George Christensen MP, Federal Member for Dawson (QLD)"This is a book that aims to bring attention to the need for all Australians to protect our 'Right to Life' without being cancelled.'Dr Rachel Carling Former Victoria State MP, Former CEO Right to Life NSW"Cancel Culture, as an Angry Child of White Man's Guilt is rampaging through Western Institutions. And the Church is an Arch-Pariah on its List. The Angry Child seems to disdain the Holy Child it is tossing out with the Church's dirty bathwater. And the Church is near paralysed in the dilemma of what to defend and what to confess. We can do both at the same time for repentance is not weakness and courage is a great virtue. Thank you, Greg, for gathering these courageous voices. May God gather equally courageous readers to know what needs saving and what is better burnt."Rev Charles Newington, Former Chairman, FamilyVoice Australia"Whatever your faith, readers of this book will understand what it means to be persecuted and cancelled by the left with its aggressive intolerance of Judeo-Christian values. We know!"Dr David Adler, President Australian Jewish Association

Australian Biographical Monograph, No 15. The cabinet has one leader who announces its policy. When he announces it, we follow, and as soon as he announces it, we know where we stand. We do not seek to know what he is going to do, and are prepared to surrender our judgement, if necessary, in advance.-- Mark Gosling, Chief Secretary in Lang''s 1930-32 Cabinet (quoted by L.F. Crisp)Jack Lang, Labor Premier of New South Wales from 1925-27 and 1930-32, was until his death in 1975, a hero for some in his party and reviled by others. This biography highlights the disruption he was responsible for, particularly to the Labor Party. Indeed, his legislative achievements are outweighed by the damage he caused to the economy, politics and social cohesion of New South Wales. Lang''s leadership style was autocratic, messianic, radical, and vindictive. Although he still has his defenders, Lang is now better remembered for his notoriety, particularly his 1932 dismissal by Governor Game, rather than his achievements. It was left to others like Bill McKell, who became Premier in 1941, rebuild the Labor Party, and, more importantly, bring it back to its true mission of helping those in need rather than indulging in self-serving political crusades of the type pursued by Lang.Dr David Clune OAM was for many years the Manager of the NSW Parliament''s Research Service and the Parliament''s Historian. He is currently an Honorary Associate in the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney and Consultant Historian to the NSW Legislative Council History Project. Dr Clune has written extensively about NSW politics and history.

Australia''s connection to the British Monarchy is instinctive to many Australians. But a great deal of us don''t know precisely how or why. Part history, part biography and part common sense, this compact and readable essay from Sean Jacobs offers a ''modern upgrade'' to our understanding and appreciation of Australia''s monarchy, covering ground on Australian leadership, culture, foreign policy and even Queen Elizabeth''s appeal to the traditions of Indigenous cultures. At a time when republican designs are emerging, and Queen Elizabeth''s reign enters the eighth decade, Thoroughly Modern Patriot offers a practical and sensible look at our current arrangements, and how these can continue to serve Australia well into the future.Sean Jacobs is a Papua New Guinean-born Australian writer, government relations and public policy specialist. He has worked at all levels of government in Australia, New Zealand and PNG, and holds a BA (International Relations) from Griffith University and Postgraduate Certificate in Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism from Macquarie University. Jacobs currently lives in Brisbane.

What does Australia look like to a complete newcomer? What are Australia''s people like - nice or naughty, friendly or hostile, generous or stingy? What are Australia''s social and cultural norms, and what are her politics? Almost three decades ago Christo Moskovsky was this complete newcomer and since then he has been trying to answer questions like these. This book contains Christo''s impressions, observations and insights generated over the course of his Australian journey, as well as a broader commentary on social, cultural and political aspects of life in Australia. It is specifically Christo''s pre-Australian life experience which affords him a unique vantage point and a greater capacity to appreciate the true greatness of Australia. This book is a portrait of Australia painted by a first-generation immigrant offering a perspective that we do not commonly see in Australia''s public discourse.Christo Moskovsky was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria''s capital. In 1993, when Christo was in his mid-30s, he and his family moved to Australia and started a new life here. Christo has recently retired from the University of Newcastle after a 25-year tenure as a linguistics lecturer. He''s been a keen observer of Australian politics and public affairs.

This is the first biography of Dame Margaret Guilfoyle, Liberal Senator from Victoria from 1971 to 1987, who quickly rose to become Minister for Social Security and then Minister for Finance in the Fraser Coalition Government. Margaret Guilfoyle had the distinction of being the first woman to hold a cabinet-level ministerial portfolio in Australia. She was regarded as an outstanding minister - highly competent, reformist, and trustworthy. That she served as a senior minister for the duration of the Fraser Government testifies to this. In addition, Margaret Guilfoyle did much to increase women''s participation and representation in Australian politics through her own outstanding example, and active roles in various forums across the political divide.Anne Henderson is deputy director of the Sydney Institute and has been a major contributor to promoting the study of Australian politics through her many publications. Among her books of note are Enid Lyons: Leading Lady To A Nation; Joseph Lyons - The People''s Prime Minister; Menzies at War (short listed for the 2015 Prime Minister''s Award for Australian History); and Federation''s Man of Letters - Patrick McMahon Glynn.

Sir Robert Menzies was driven by a passionate belief in individual freedom, personal responsibility and human dignity.In God & Menzies, David Furse-Roberts reveals the Judeo-Christian origins of Menzies' empowering Liberal philosophy that becameembedded in Australia's cultural DNA.God & Menzies is essential reading for everybody who seeks a deeper understanding of Australian liberalism and the place of religion in a secular society.'David Furse-Roberts has established himself as one of Australia's leading Menzies experts with this spiritual-intellectual biography of Australia's longest-serving Prime Minister. The depth of the research and scope of the themes makes this book the benchmark for future religious biographies of Australian statespeople...' - Dr Stephen Chavura, Lecturer at Campion College.'God & Menzies is a scholarly study of how Robert Menzies' deeply considered Christian faith informed his commitment to the principles of secular liberalism and served as the lodestar that guided his consequential career. Furse-Roberts has written a timely reminder that Christianity has long been an integral component of Australia's vibrant secular democracy.' - Rev Peter Kurti, Centre for Independent Studies.'In an era when religion in an overt sense is essentially marginal to political life, this important study is deeply revealing of its significance in the Australian nation throughout the middle decades of the twentieth century. Moreover, it makes a major contribution in demonstrating Sir Robert Menzies' leadership in ridding Australia of the curse of sectarianism.' - Adjunct Professor J. R. Nethercote, Australian Catholic University.'David Furse-Roberts' God & Menzies is a welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on the beliefs and values of Australia's longest serving Prime Minister. This well researched and clearly written book contributes what few professional historians in Australia are now capable of, namely, an educated and serious engagement with the theological and moral positions that informed Robert Menzies' public life. - Dr Geoff Treloar, Australian College of Theology.

Catholic social teaching had a venerable influence on Australian political history, but does it still have anything to offer?Greg Craven argues that it remains an important resource for addressing the central challenges of Australian politics.In doing so, he considers the case put forward by Tim Wilson in The New Social Contract for liberalism, Adrian Pabst's analysis of Labor's unique approach to social democracy in Story of Our Country, and Damien Freeman's account of conservatism in Abbott's Right.His critique of liberalism, social democracy, and conservatism from the perspective of Catholic social teaching offers a vision for how Australian political debate might be done better.Five essayists, including Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott, offer their own thoughts on the future of politics and policy, and the utility of Catholic social teaching as a resource for policy-making in their responses to Craven's analysis.
