Dalla quarta di copertina:

I think it is the best Australian politics text... [It offers] thorough coverage of all areas of Australian government and politics. While presenting a balanced perspective, the focus is on interpretation, argument and excellent analysis. Doug Hunt,JamesCookUniversity

Lucid and interesting ... Student feedback on this book is consistently positive. Gwenda Tavan, LaTrobeUniversity

I like the way it works from the broader picture (conceptual framework) and brings the issues together with a thorough examination of key policy ideas. Lynelle Watts, Edith Cowan University
