Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes the real social economic issues of our time are obscured by a fudge of figures,egos and public relations fiction. In Victoria, especially, there has been much misrepresentation and little critical thinking over the past few years. Often what we read or hear is sensational; sometimes it degenerates into personal abuse. Here, at last, prominent thinkers analyse present policies of the Victorian Government and suggest what we may expect from the Twenty-First Century. In doing so, they provide a damning indictment of a government that has delivered one of the most radical shifts to the right in the history of the State of Victoria. Putting the People Last is the Kennett Government's end-of-term report card. No one with an interest in the future of this state can afford to ignore it.
