Our politicians are becoming more conservative, both in their policies and their ambitions for the country, but the Australian people - almost all of us - want to see real social change. We are more generous and more progressive, and more alike, than we think we are - and we are better than our day-to-day political discourse would suggest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHuntley has spent years travelling the country, getting to know what's in our hearts and minds. Here she tackles the biggest social questions facing Australia now: Why do we fear asylum seekers? Why are women still underpaid and overworked? Why do we over-parent? Why do we worry even though we are lucky?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStill Lucky\u003c\/i\u003e is a broad-ranging, wise and compelling look at who we are now and where we are heading in the future, from someone who knows what Australians are \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Here it is: Australia, with all our dreams and fears laid bare.
