The book that launches campaigns
STILL NOT HAPPY, JOHN, with you and your government.
We’ve had three more years of:
-
secrecy, cover-ups and scandals – think AWB
-
laws like WorkChoices eroding people’s prosperity
-
an unpopular and deceitful war
-
blind allegiance to a foolhardy American president
-
draconian measures rushed through a hobbled Senate and applied with equal haste – witness the recent Haneef fiasco
-
the detention of hundreds of vulnerable people, including children and Australian citizens, and
-
above all, none of you listening when Australians say they want job, educational and housing security for themselves and their children, our soldiers out of Iraq – and a smart, fair, forward-looking country that finds new solutions for pressing problems like climate change
It’s all nailed here, in Margo Kingston’s updated, election edition of her gutsy, anecdotal bestseller: every reason why John Howard’s government doesn’t deserve your vote.
‘Kingston fearlessly takes the Howard government to task on what she sees as the many betrayals of the Australian people and their freedoms’ – Sydney Sunday Telegraph
‘Will ignite fire in the bellies of even the most complacent readers [and] will appeal to readers of any political stripe, especially those who see themselves as moderates’ – The Age
