As I read this, I was convinced it was someone's PhD thesis. Lo and behold: it is. This book is dry, and repetitive in structure. It is also surprisingly neutral, which is rather impressive given some of the people and issues involved. I can easily imagine the PhD was called 'A Chronicle of Four Single-Issue Political Organizations That Have Been Important For Australian Politics Recently,' and the publisher suggested a more inflammatory title. That said, this is important work for show more understanding how right wing opinions, which aren't really native to Australian politics, have become so influential. Congratulations to the Liberal party for riding that horse all the way to the line, it's an impressive feat. Depressing, but impressive. show less
