To answer this question, Turning Point provides a progress report on key national policy areas covering unemployment, infrastructure, financial regulation (the Wallis enquiry), manufacturing, the waterfront and shipping, health and the public sector. An examination of the New Zealand experiment points to similarities and differences with the Australian experience. Turning Point also reports on the direction and performance of Australia's state and territory governments. It traces the contradictions in Bob Carr's NSW government and offers new and disturbing perspectives on Jeff Kennett's Victorian government. It asks if Rob Borbidge is attempting to roll Queensland back to the Bjelke Petersen era. It asks what public benefit will come from the WA government's efforts to break the union movement. It looks at how South Australia and Tasmania can escape the prospect of permanent recession. As Australian society responds to profound economic change, Turning Point provides an illuminating scrutiny of prevailing orthodoxies in politics and public policy. Christopher Sheil is a former NSW Cabinet Office executive and has been a senior economic and social policy adviser under six premiers. He heads up a team of experienced political and public policy analysts. Co-published with the Evatt Foundation. Paperback.
