Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For over a decade, from 1976 to 1986, Neville Wran led the most successful Labor Government in New South Wales history.\nNow, for the first time, key ministers, advisers, public servants, party and union officials, and Wran himself, provide a critical retrospective on the era and its legacy today.\nIt was an era of unrivalled electoral success - four electoral victories were won, including two Wranslides in 1978 and 1981. Wran was a hugely popular leader who galvanised Labor supporters around the nation, and provided the model for modern Labor leadership and government.\nIt was also an era of sound economic management and moderate progressive reform which transformed New South Wales in ways taken for granted today.\nSignificant policy achievements, and some mistakes, are noted in health, education, transport, conservation, consumer affairs, Aboriginal affairs, the status and rights of women, industrial relations, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity law reform, the arts and heritage protection, the public service, and electoral and institutional reform.\nThe contributions cover key policy areas, politics and elections. The candid views of the main players are balanced with those of academics, journalists and commentators.
