Description 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. Specifications: Condition: Good. General signs of wear, the pages are yellowed due to age. Publisher: University of Queensland Press Year: 1989 Format: Paperback Pages: 185 ISBN: 0702222305
