Book Description
The Jerilderie Letter Part Two: Australia's Corrupt Prime Ministers From the back cover: Australia's democracy was stolen long ago, if we ever had one, by corrupt political parties who are pillaging Australia's assets, at times using corrupt police and courts, for themselves and their mates. This book shines a light on that fact by focusing on corruption by the Prime Ministers who lead the parties. The book chronicles articles, over the last 12 years by investigative journalist Shane Dowling, with documented evidence proving corruption in relation to former Prime Ministers and the current Prime Minister. The book covers blatant corruption and alleged corruption by Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison and others. Many people criticise current Prime Minister Scott Morrison but one thing that he has been extremely good for is to prove just how corrupt a government can become under a corrupt Prime Minister when they are left unchecked. Anyone arguing the case for a federal ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) only has to say the name Scott Morrison and it conjures up in millions of people's minds the image of someone who is morally and ethically bankrupt who cares about nothing but himself. While Scott Morrison is by far the worst Prime Minister Australia has had in recent times, if not ever, he is not the only one who has failed this country. One possible solution is to vote in more independents, and we only needed a few more at the last election and they would have had the balance of power which could have stopped the widespread government corruption. But for people to vote independent they need to understand how the current practice of going from a coalition government of the Liberals and Nationals to a Labor government and back again has failed to give Australia a true democracy. While reading the book you will discover many things about Australia's Prime Ministers that you never knew but should have known which supports the argument: "In a time when old media journalists are being silenced by their bosses who are in bed with corrupt politicians stealing $billions from taxpayers it is even more important for new media independent journalists like Shane Dowling to report the truth".

At the end of the 20th century, the traditional forms of tourism transformed; they expanded by the introduction of new postmodern tourist forms, bringing innovative offers to the marketplace.

True History of the Kelly Gang
Author: Peter Carey
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307368653
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
SOONTO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The international bestseller, Booker Prize winner, and winner of the 2001 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book. Out of 19th century Australia rides a hero of his people and a man for all nations: Ned Kelly, the son of poor Irish immigrants, viewed by the authorities as a thief (especially of horses) and, as a cold-blooded killer. To the people, though, he was a patriot hounded unfairly by rich English landlords and their stooges. In the end, Kelly and his so-called gang (his younger brother and two friends) led a massive police manhunt on a wild goose chase that lasted twenty months, in which Ned’s talents as a bushman were augmented by bank robberies and the support of nearly everyone not in a uniform. His one demand – for which he would have surrendered himself was his jailed mother’s freedom. Executed by hanging more than a century ago, speaking as if from the grave, Kelly still resonates as the most potent legend in the land down under.

After The Celebration
Author: Ken Gelder

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
After the Celebration explores Australian fiction from 1989 to 2007, after Australia's bicentenary to the end of the Howard government. In this literary history, Ken Gelder and Paul Salzman combine close attention to Australian novels with a vivid depiction of their contexts: cultural, social, political, historical, national and transnational. From crime fiction to the postmodern colonial novel, from Australian grunge to 'rural apocalypse fiction', from the Asian diasporic novel to the action blockbuster, Gelder and Salzman show how Australian novelists such as Frank Moorhouse, Elizabeth Jolley, Peter Carey, Kim Scott, Steven Carroll, Kate Grenville, Tim Winton, Alexis Wright and many others have used their work to chart our position in the world. The literary controversies over history, identity, feminism and gatekeeping are read against the politics of the day. Provocative and compelling, After the Celebration captures the key themes and issues in Australian fiction: where we have been and what we have become.

Black Snake
Author: Leo Kennedy
Publisher: Affirm Press
ISBN: 1925870081
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Author Leo Kennedy is the great-grandson of Sergeant Michael Kennedy. Raised in the shadow of his great-grandfather's murder, Leo witnessed the deep psychological wounds inflicted on successive generations of his family - and the families of other victims - as the Ned Kelly myth grew around them and the sacrifice of their loved ones was forgotten. Leo himself was nicknamed 'Red Ned' at school and taunted for being on the wrong side of Australian history. Now, for the first time, and in brilliant prose that brings these historical episodes to life, Black Snake challenges the legend of Ned Kelly. Instead of celebrating an heroic man of the people, it gives voice to the victims of a merciless gang of outlaws. This is a captivating true story, gleaned from meticulous research and family history, of two men from similar backgrounds whose legacies were distorted by history.
