Publishers Description: A stunning collection of essays that analyses the major issues facing Australia today This nation has a lot of unfinished business. Will we become a republic any time soon How can we honour our Indigenous peoples and tackle the intractable disadvantage they face What does our treatment of asylum seekers reveal about us Will we have a proper debate the next time we go to war In early 2013 La Trobe University held a conference in honour of Professor Robert Manne, at which papers were presented by thinkers Manne has worked or argued with, and whom he most admires. State of the Nation compiles these original essays. They include innovative explorations of multiculturalism, social democracy, the future for Labor and the challenge of climate change. This is a book that shows how Australia is faring, good and bad, as it enters a new era of politics. GWENDA TAVAN is a senior lecturer in politics at La Trobe University. Her books include the award-winning The Long, Slow Death of White Australia.
