Griffith Review 36

It is time to revive the debate about national identity. The cliches of old have long exceeded their use-by date. Instead of seizing the moment, and forging an exciting new future, public discussion is mired in the past. Politics is no longer the art of the possible. Whingeing has replaced can-do. What is Australia For? sketches out visionary ideas for the future, uncovers neglected stories from the past, and provides an exciting forum for new voices to make their case.
