Working the System: Government in Queensland by Peter Coaldrake (Second Hand Book)

SECOND HAND BOOK

Queensland is Australia’s most volatile and dramatic political arena. Since the revelations of the Fitzgerald Inquiry and the decline and fall of Sir Johannes Bjelke-Petersen, the networks of power politics in this northern state seem to have fundamentally changed. But have they?

Peter Coaldrake, a respected political commentator, analyses: the use and abuse of traditional political structures, how the one-party state evolved, the politicisation of police and other public servants, meddling in the judiciary, creative electoral malapportionment, the lack of an effective Opposition and a generally docile and permissive media.
