Title: Quarterly Essay 42: Fair Share Subtitle: Country & City in Australia Author: Judith Brett Narrator: Judith Brett Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 05-22-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: For many decades Australia was the country that rode on the sheep's back. No more - now we are a country of mining and services. In QE42, one of Australia's most original and respected political thinkers, Judith Brett, looks at what this has meant for the country and the city in our politics and culture. The politics of independence and dependence are complicated, as the Murray-Darling water reform shows. And the question remains: What will be the fate of rural and regional Australia in an era of economic rationalisation, water cutbacks, climate change, droughts, and flooding rain? Does urban Australia care for or understand the country anymore? Can the country renew itself and make a case again for its central place at the heart of the nation?

Title: Quarterly Essay 3: The Opportunist Subtitle: John Howard and the Triumph of of Reaction Author: Guy Rundle Narrator: Guy Rundle Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In the third Quarterly Essay of 2001, Guy Rundle comes to grips with John Howard, the prime minister who, on the eve of an election, seems to have turned round his political fortunes by spurning refugees and writing blank cheques for America's War on Terror. This is a brilliant account of John Howard's dominant ideas, his concerted "dreaming" with its emphasis on unity and national identity that reveals him to be the most reactionary PM we have ever had, the only political leader who would allow ideas like those of One Nation to dominate the mainstream of Australian politics in order to improve his political chances. Rundle puts Howard in the context of the economic liberalism he shares with his colleagues and opponents and the conservative social ideology that sets him apart. It is a complex portrait in a radical mirror which relates John Howard to everything from Menzies's "forgotten people" to the inadvertent glamour of the government's antidrug advertising. It is also a plea for right-thinking people of every political persuasion to resist the call to prejudice and reaction.

Title: Back to Work Subtitle: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy Author: Bill Clinton Narrator: Bill Clinton Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-11 Publisher: Random House AudioBooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In Back to Work, Bill Clinton addresses the urgent economic challenges facing the United States and offers a plan to get America "back into the future business". He details how to get out of the current economic crisis and lay a foundation for long-term prosperity, offering specific recommendations on how to put people back to work, increase bank lending and corporate investment, double exports, restore the manufacturing base, and create new businesses. He supports President Obama's emphasis on green technology, saying that a change in the way we produce and consume energy is the strategy most likely to spark a fast-growing economy and enhance national security. Clinton says that it is strong economy and smart government working together that will restore prosperity and progress. He demonstrates that whenever the US gives in to the temptation to blame government for its problems, it loses its commitment to shared prosperity, balanced growth, financial responsibility, and investment in the future. Some things have to be done together. For example, Clinton says, "Our ability to compete in the twenty-first century is dependent on our willingness to invest in infrastructure: we need faster broadband, a state-of-the-art national electrical grid, modernized water and sewer systems, and the best airports, trains, roads, and bridges." "There is no evidence that we can succeed in the twenty-first century with an antigovernment strategy," writes Clinton, "with a philosophy grounded in 'You're on your own' rather than 'We're all in this together.'" Clinton believes that conflict between government and the private sector has proved to be remarkably good politics, but it has produced bad policies, giving us a weak economy with few jobs, growing income inequality and poverty, and a decline in the US competitive position. In the real world, cooperation works much better than conflict, and "we need victories in the real world.... I wrote this book because I love my country and I'm concerned about our future," he writes. "As I often said when I first ran for President in 1992, America at its core is an idea - the idea that no matter who you are or where you're from, if you work hard and play by the rules, you'll have the freedom and opportunity to pursue your own dreams and leave your kids a country where they can chase theirs." This audio edition also features a PDF document that illuminates and informs Clinton's writing. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Title: The Stoning of Sally Kern Author: Sally Kern Narrator: Tamara Kaye Adams Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-11 Publisher: christianaudio.com Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: This book is about Sally Kern, District 84 House of Representatives member from Oklahoma, and her desire to see America return to the conservative principles that guided the nation's founders. In January 2008, the pastor's wife and former high school teacher gave a speech to a Republican club in Oklahoma City explaining that the founding fathers believed Christian principles would lead to a civilized society, individual self-government, good citizens, the elevation of learning, and a cohesive value system. While explaining the fifth benefit, a cohesive value system, she told of a group of wealthy homosexual activists who threatened the nation's moral fabric by attempting to unseat seventy conservative politicians who opposed their agenda. Clips from the speech later were posted on YouTube, generating more than 2 million hits and leading to what she describes as a media \u0022stoning\u0022. That didn't stop her from winning re-election or from continuing her calls for America to return to the conservative principles that made it great. In this book she warns that there is danger ahead if social conservatives don't preserve the nation's foundations of morality, truth, and tolerance. She issues a cry for conservatives to stand for their freedom now before they no longer have the right to do so.

Title: Quarterly Essay 40: Trivial Pursuit Subtitle: Leadership and the End of the Reform Era Author: George Megalogenis Narrator: George Megalogenis Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-11 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In the aftermath of the 2010 election, George Megalogenis considers what has happened to politics in Australia. Have we entered a new phase with minority government and the rise of the Greens and independents? The Hawke, Keating and Howard years were ones of bold reform; recently we have seen an era of power without purpose. But why? Is it down to powerful lobbies, or the media, or a failure of leadership, or all of the above? And whatever the case, how will hard decisions be taken for the future? In a brilliant analysis, Megalogenis dissects the cycle of polls, focus groups and presidential politics and explores what it has done to the prospect of serious, difficult reform and the style of our leaders. He argues that politics-as-usual has become a self-defeating game and mounts a persuasive case for a different model of leadership.

Title: Australian Story: Kevin Rudd and the Lucky Country Author: Mungo MacCallum Narrator: Mungo MacCallum Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 03-01-10 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Mungo MacCallum investigates political leadership in Australia, past and present. This is a characteristically barbed and perceptive look at the challenges facing the Rudd government and Australia. MacCallum argues that the things we used to rely on are not there anymore. On the Right, the blind faith in markets has recently collapsed. The Left lost its guiding light with the demise of the socialist dream. In entertaining fashion, MacCallum shows how Australia's history has been one of great illusions: endless pastures, endless gold, a new Britannia, and more. But while our past big visions seem to have come undone, we need a new one more than ever. This essay is both a report card on the Rudd government and a broader meditation on leadership in a time of major change and challenge. What do we want from our leaders at such a time? Why is Rudd doing so well in the polls? What does he know about Australia that his opponents don't? Editorial Reviews: Mungo MacCallum profiles Kevin Reed, who has been twice elected as the Prime Minister of Australia, the first time in the country's history since 1949. MacCallum attempts to understand Reed's political success through a discussion of Australian myths such as "the Lucky Country", showcasing how Reed has adeptly utilized them to his political advantage while navigating a turbulent economic climate. MacCallum's arguments are persuasive, and his casually informative style is often punctuated with a wry wit, like that of a wildly popular campus lecturer. His performance turns Australian Story: Kevin Rudd and the Lucky Country into an entertaining, illuminating discussion.

Title: Right Now Subtitle: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda Author: Michael Steele Narrator: Richard Allen Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 02-08-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: As Republicans look for new ideas to guide them back to power, the Republican National Committee has a new chairman in Michael Steele. In his new book, Right Now, Steele outlines a path for Republicans to reconnect with America and retake the majority. Steele says it's time for the GOP to stop making excuses and take responsibility for its defeats. He argues that the key to rebuilding the Republican party lies in embracing core conservative values and exposing the dangers of Obama's far-left, big-government agenda. Addressing issues from the economy to the environment, Steele proposes a "12-step program" to show how conservative ideas and values make life better for all Americans. Right Now shows how conservatism, not Obama-style socialism, is the surest route to greater prosperity and freedom. Critic Reviews: Steele sounds a long-overdue battle cry for a fresh, energetic conservatism to fight Obama's socialist vision. (Sean Hannity, national radio and television talk show host)
