Acknowledgements
I thank Deb Salvagno for reading and commenting in extensive detail on the entire manuscript. The final version has improved considerably, thanks to her ability to find innovative, unconventional solutions to problems. Humphrey McQueen provided valuable comments on a revised version of the manuscript. His vast knowledge of Australian politics and history were of great help. I also benefited from the advice, support, and suggestions of some very generous individuals: Scott Burchill, Peter Curtis, Philip Dorling, Margaret Douglas, Derek Fernandes, Davy Fernandes, and Ian Melrose. I thank the staff at the Academy Library at UNSW Canberra. I thank my lawyer, Ian Latham, and my solicitor, Hugh Macken.
