Description

Renowned barrister, ethicist and human rights advocate Julian Burnside QC's grandparents lived in a world of handsome cars, elegant tennis parties and coiffed women. As a five-year-old, he saw privilege before he heard the word or learned its meaning. In this powerful broadside that takes in politicians and infamous legal cases, Julian Burnside explores the concept of privilege and the people who have it.
