Publisher's Synopsis
An assessment of Kim Beazley's years as Leader of the Opposition in the run-up to the Australian Federal election in December 2001. Revised to take account of the election result, this biography questions whether Beazley is the man to sweep the Liberal Party from power. Has Kim Beazley proved himself to be a credible alternative to Howard, the ultimate political survivor? Indeed, after the unpopularity of the GST and the furore about the petrol excise, could Beazley possibly lose?
