4.0 out of 5 stars
A clear expalantion of a dangerous government's policies., August 19, 1999
This review is from: The Kennett Revolution: Victorian Politics in the 1990's (Paperback)
The contributors to this collection of essays about the 6 year Kennett Governmeent in the Australian State of Victoria, reveal a government hell bent on following the policies of Regan and Thatcher to their logical conclusion.
Jeff Kennett and his ministers have set a course for Victoria where no one is a person anymore but is only a client or customer. Not only has language been coopted to change public perceptions but some of the most potent examples of fascist propaganda are now commonplace in Victoria. As the economy prospers , schools ,transport, public servcies and hospitals wither and die.
The book is well written and a valuable resource for students of the cancer of economic rationalism.
