Review 230: We are not alone! (Sarah Corbet)

Thank you, Margo - you are a national treasure!

Your book makes a strong case against the regressive nasty politics that I've witnessed in disbelief in the last 8 years, and I suspect the issues you've discussed are only the tip of the iceberg!! For some time I've been worrying about the government's willingness to put its own survival ahead of our national interest and good governance in Australia. This has been at enormous cost to our national values of equity and diversity, generosity and community, and it may take decades to repair the damage. I am excited by your idea of more participatory journalism and the increasing role of the internet in making governments more accountable to us.
