Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Orwell has two key messages that speak directly to contemporary Australians- that respecting the truth is essential to restoring the integrity of our democratic system; and that if we want to preserve our egalitarian way of life, the centre-left must get in touch with ordinary people again.'George Orwell has had an astonishing influence on Australian politics, often in ways he would have disapproved of fiercely. Today, one hundred years after his birth, his relevance is growing rather than diminishing.Orwell's insights and values represent a challenge and an opportunity for the Australian left , especially because a host of public institutions and once-unquestioned rights are being attacked by a determined and ideologically driven band of radical conservatives, many of whom justify their beliefs through an appeal to the socialist George Orwell. A discussion of George Orwell's relevance to contemporary Australian life and political debate is introduced in this text on modern-day Australian politics. Arguing that in an era of global war and national insecurity the Australian center-left must once again become the defender of a social democracy without ideology, it inspires action reminiscent of that which Orwell advocated the English left take half a century ago. The book broadens the understanding of Orwell's beliefs, dispels their misuse in political debate, and challenge neoconservatives' use of Orwell's ideologies to justify their beliefs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780908011568
