Sport, business, education, banking, farming, religion, trade unions, charities and hospitals have all lost their way through a series of scandals, and disillusion with our leaders is at its peak. People are distrustful. And we need to know why. Commentator, author and former newspaper editor David Fagan asks the questions we all want answered. Through analysis and interviews with experts he explores what has defined Australia in the past and how we want to be defined in the future. Peeling back the rot that has contaminated almost everything Australians believe in, he asks: are we still the economically, socially and culturally strong country that we should be? Or are we squandering our good fortune? Should we be alarmed? This book shines the spotlight on the mistakes we have made. And, more importantly, shows us what we have to do to set things right.
