A lucky find in a café in Moruya, it has been very interesting to find a very different perspective on Bob Hawke before he was elected Prime Minister in 1983. Whats particularly important is to find out that Bill Hartley may prove to be the key to understanding both the sacking of the Whitlam Government and the fragmentation and disillusionment of the older, broad left in Australia, especially Sydney. Read after Osbornes Civilisation, of which the last chapter provides a lucid and concise discussion of history since 1945, the reasons for why things changed so dramatically in the 1980s/1990s in Australia may be found here, in conjunction with Hursts biography, with confidence.
