Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. **Winner, Queensland Literary Awards 2022, Queensland Premier's Award for a Work of State Significance**Like many Australians, I looked on with horror as images of a million dead fish swamped the media and consumed the news cycle. I resolved to dig deeper.The MurrayDarling Basin is under th…reat. This vast and spectacular geographical region, covering one million square kilometres from central Queensland to South Australia, has been exploited for nearly 200 years. Soil erosion, sand drifts, dust storms, salinity, algal blooms, threatened native flora and fauna, the drying out of internationally recognised wetlands and steadily worsening droughts have repeatedly brought large parts of the Basin to its knees.In Wounded Country, award-winning author Quentin Beresford investigates the complex history of Australia's largest and most important river system. Waves of farmers exploited the region's potential, with little consideration for the environmental consequences. Dispossession and marginalisation denied local First Nations people their lands and European settlers the Indigenous cultural knowledge to manage the Basin sustainably. Instead, we've had 'nation-building' irrigation schemes and agricultural enterprises promoted by politicians focused on short-term profits and a development-at-all-costs approach. Expert advice and warnings about long-term environmental effects have been continually sidelined.We're now at a point of reckoning. How can we save the once mighty MurrayDarling?'One of the most important books to emerge in recent decades concerning both Australia's dangerous environmental mismanagement and the indivisible plunder of Indigenous society.' - Charles Massy Award-winning author Quentin Beresford delves into the history of the Murray-Darling Basin since European settlement and reveals Australia's destructive relationship with the environment, and the willingness of politicians to ignore expert advice.

Crown Resorts, the Bond Group, James Hardie, HIH Insurance, Geoffrey Edelsten's Allied Medical Group, 7-Eleven and Rio Tinto, the list goes on.Australia has suffered from the continual sting of business scandals since corporate cowboys like Alan Bond and Christopher Skase wrought so much da…mage during the 1980s.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How did Big Gambling become too big to fail and too powerful to adequately regulate?Australians lose around $32 billion on legal forms of gambling each year, the most of any country in the world, while the industry rakes in $244 billion through poker machines, lotteries, casinos and the exp…onential rise in sports betting. In Hooked, Quentin Beresford explores how gambling expanded from a highly restricted recreational activity to a mega industry. He asks, what's the balance between entertainment and social harm? What does the crisis reveal about the troubling intersection between business and politics? And, finally, how can the gambling industry be reined in?With a cast of questionable characters, iconic corporate brands, eye-watering greed, political subterfuge and the many state and federal politicians who have sold out to the gambling industry, Hooked exposes the underbelly of gambling in Australia.'A gripping account of how the gambling ecosystem grew to be Australia's version of the NRA.' Charles Livingstone'An exceptional account of the history and predatory behaviour of the gambling industry.and a powerful acknowledgement of all those people who suffer in the clutches of the executives who run and profit from these companies.' Andrew Wilkie'As Beresford observes in this cool-headed expose, it's the normalisation of gambling as ''a harmless form of entertainment'' that is most insidious and disturbing.' Fiona Capp, The Sydney Morning Herald'Hooked is a morbidly addictive read.' Tasmanian Times With a cast of questionable characters, iconic corporate brands, eye-watering greed, political subterfuge and the many state and federal politicians who have sold out to the gambling industry, Hooked exposes the underbelly of gambling in Australia.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The story of Tasmania's most controversial forestry giant, the corruption that gave it power and the forces that brought it down.At its peak, Gunns Ltd had a market value of $1 billion, was listed on the ASX 200, was the largest employer in the state of Tasmania and was its largest private landowner.…Most of its profits came from woodchipping, mainly from clear-felled old-growth forests. A pulp mill in Tasmania's Tamar Valley was central to its expansion plans. Gunns' collapse in 2012 was a major national news story, as was the arrest of its CEO for insider trading.Quentin Beresford illuminates for the first time the dark corners of the Gunns empire and how it was embedded in an anti-democratic and corrupt system of power supported by both main parties, business and unions. Simmering opposition to Gunns and all it stood for ramped up into an environmental campaign not seen since the Franklin Dam protests.Fearless and forensic in its analysis, the book shows that Tasmania's decades-long quest to industrialise nature fails every time.
