WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

There is more to his Quarterly Essay than a loner’s visceral anger. His analysis is outstanding … A devastating critique of the unions as a moribund, unentitled and debilitating force in the contemporary Labor Party.

Henry Ergas, The Australian

His essay sees a mellowing of the angry Latham of the past decade, replaced by one who acknowledges errors as Labor leader and gives his successors some credit.

Australian Financial Review

Mark Latham’s vivid way with words and his sharp, unsentimental political analysis have always been his strengths.

Fiona Capp, Sydney Morning Herald
