With wide yet shallow support, will it change the country? Does it have big ideas, or is it content just to become \"the natural party of government\"?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKelly gives a definitive account of Albanese's political style and asks what lies behind it. In speaking to a fragmented, disengaged electorate, the Prime Minister places a high value on moderation. Often that means ducking fights with entrenched interests. But this runs the risk of embedding an ever more unequal nation, led by a government that can seem gutless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this subtle and brilliant essay, Kelly explores whether Labor is still up for the good fight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Labor has cast itself as a version of what the conservatives once were- the defender of the way things are. This may well appeal to large numbers of Australians, as it did in this last election.  But  Labor's task, historically, has been to change things on behalf of those who desperately need them to change.\" -\u003cb\u003eSean Kelly, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Fight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46729826959518,"sku":"UBD-9781760645021","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781760645021.jpg?v=1776650593","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781760645021","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
