Frank Bongiorno is professor of history at the Australian National University and author of the award-winning The Sex Lives of Australians. He has written for The Monthly, the Australian and Inside Story.
Laura Tingle has reported on Australian politics for more than 35 years. She joined the ABC as chief political correspondent for 7.30 after a long career in print. She has written four Quarterly Essays and won two Walkley Awards. Laura is President of the National Press Club of Australia.
In this compelling and comprehensive work, renowned historian Frank Bongiorno presents a social and cultural history of Australia's political life, from pre-settlement Indigenous systems to the present day.
Depicting a wonderful parade of dreamers and schemers, Bongiorno surveys moments of political renewal and sheds fresh light on our democratic life. From local pubs and meeting halls to the parliament and cabinet; from pamphleteers and stump orators to party agents and operatives - this enthralling account looks at the political insiders in the halls of power, as well as the agitators and outsiders who sought to shape the nation from the margins
