What Future for Labor?
Paperback
Publication Date: 23/10/2013
Labor is not dead yet, but it desperately needs to change. In this book, Mark Latham and several leading young progressive thinkers look to the future. Not Yet Dead shows how Labor became a party of factional warlords. Latham proposes reforms to limit their power and renew the party, and outlines a new way forward - a 'light-touch social democracy' which focuses on equality, social mobility, good services and some key policy challenges- education, poverty and climate change. He also examines the rise of the authoritarian right under the wing of Tony Abbott, and what to do about it. Following this, an array of younger voices have their say. The result is a passionate debate about how the party can reinvent itself and speak to a changed Australia. After years of leadership turmoil and the 2013 election defeat, the Labor Party has some serious soul-searching to do. This book is the place to start. Contributors include Mark Latham, Jim Chalmers, Andrew Leigh, Troy Bramston, Louise Tarrant, Guy Rundle and Nicholas Reece.
