Judith BrettThis multifaceted diagnosis of Australias most revered government bristles with fresh insights and analysis. It is at once comprehensive in scope and yet brilliantly engaging. For anyone seeking to understand modern Australias achievements and shortcomings, Gold Standard? is the place to start. Editors Bongiorno, Holbrook and Black have thoughtfully augmented their own expertise with a panoply of writers, some with unique experience within the Hawke government. The result makes for a telling prequel to the policy challenges and political paralysis bedevilling Australia today. Mark KennyThe Hawke government was a winning government the winner of big public debates it initiated, persuasively framed and mustered public support for, and the winner of four elections in a row as a result. It excelled at both the substance and theatre of politics. This book shows how easily its winning playbook could be carried over and adapted by todays politicians to meet contemporary challenges with the deeper solutions Australians so clearly want. Compulsory reading. Chris WallaceThis multidimensional analysis of Bob Hawkes skilful distributed leadership responsibility delegated to talented individuals pursuing disparate objectives, deliberation debated and contested within a disciplined reformist framework reminds us that formidable challenges can be transformed into opportunities for productive change. It is the antidote for our troubled times. James WalterA highly informed, accessible assessment of, arguably, our most significant postwar government.
