Publishers Description: Phil Clearly, a proud, brave Irish Catholic, school teacher and high-profile football coach from the working class suburbs of Melbourne, gained national headlines when, as an Independent, he won the seat formerly held by retiring ex-PM Bob Hawke. In this text, Clearly tells the story of battles with the entrenched forces in Australian politics. He also looks back on his upbringing, including how he fought for justice after the murder of his sister.
