All That's Left: What Labor Should Stand For

Description

After a tumultuous few months that have seen an election-winning prime minister replaced as leader by Australia's first woman prime minister, many people are questioning what Labor stands for, and wondering what it should stand for. In this book, young, prominent thinkers, players and commentators - as well as some experienced politicians - tackle these questions in frank, personal and often surprising ways.
