A vibrant and fascinating portrait of Australia today. This is a lively, personal, accessible and anecdote-filled snapshot of the Australian people at the start of the 21st century: the nation, economy, society, culture and values; the cities, the outback, and the evolution of our national identity. Conversations with a range of ordinary Australians, as well as frank interviews with leading contemporary Australians such as Prime Minister John Howard, former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett and NSW Premier Bob Car, add unique and authoritative insights into Australia past and present.
