1 comments about The Andren Report: An Independent Way in Australian Politics.
- I met Peter in high school and knew him until his death in 2007. He was a person of strong beliefs of what was right and lived by those beliefs. As news anchor at a local TV network, he was well known in his electorate and saw an opportunity for election on the retirement of a sitting member. He stood in 4 elections and increased his margin each time.
His popularity grew because of his integrity and the fact that he took a stand on issues he saw as important. He opposed the Government on issues like the sale of Telstra, parliamentary pensions and the treatment of refugees; in his electorate he worked tirelessly for his constituents.
The book is an autobiography well written by a journalist. Apart from that, it gives a unique insight into the workings of the Australian Parliament. The book deserves to be read by anyone with an interest in Australian political history.

1 comments about Patrick White: A Life.
- I found the biog hard to put down, unlike White's fiction which I find easy to put down! Marr has written a scholarly yet entertaining biography, and you really feel you come to know something about an Australian icon - our only Nobel laureate in literature.
In everything i have read (including White's own portrait of himself, Flaws In The Glass) he comes across as a horrible man - a misogynist, but with some political principles with which I might agree. Nevertheless, that is not the point of literature, or art, to be loved by one and all. White's voice certainly added immensely to the cultural life of this country, and it is worth getting to know something about his life and works. Marr's book is an excellent place to start.
